CHOOSE A CAR

Choosing a car is not an easy task, especially when you start considering technical characteristics, price, design, make, etc However, I have already made my choice a long time ago; I am absolutely fond of Ford Mustang GT V8 It is a car that completely satisfies my taste and which I would like to drive one day There are a few reasons why Mustang GT V8 is my favorite car First of all, I am impressed by the characteristics /,kæriktə'ristik/

of the engine that make this car especially fast and enduring Moreover, attractive design of Mustang GT V8 and its moderate price are the other two features that are particularly important for me Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explain why I prefer this car by providing a detailed description of three main characteristics of Mustang GT V8 I am attracted

to, such as the engine, design of the car and its price

 One of the main characteristics of the car is its engine, which is especially unique The roaring sound of this powerful engine cannot leave a true car-lover indifferent The 450 horsepower engine and the capacity of 6,500 rpm (revolutions per minute) make this model particularly endurable It makes the car super fast enabling it to develop a top speed of 200 mph Additionally, the car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in only 4.9 seconds Hence, Mustang GT V8 can perform a test drive as quick as 13.8 seconds per quarter of a mile

An average final drive ratio for the model with manual transmission amounts in 3.31:1.

 Moreover, I find the design of Mustang GT V8 especially attractive due to its expensive-looking features Its exterior and interior are represented by better developed and improved characteristics comparatively to the older models that give this car a great look The exterior of Mustang GT V8 is represented by 18" sparkle aluminium wheels painted in silver, automatic headlamps, bright dual exhaust tips, and a traditional dark chrome pony badge that is very eye-catching on a black grille Additionally, HID headlamps and a triple row of LED fog lamps that substitute usual flashing lights add a wonderful feature to the design of Mustang GT V8 I think that plenty of lights used for this car give it a special charm and make it stand out comparatively to the other cars The interior is equipped with a 4-gauge instrument cluster that has special chrome accents, a steering wheel wrapped in high-quality leather, message center, single-zone air conditioning, cruise control, and a premium audio system that contribute to the great internal design and functionality of the car.

 Furthermore, the adequate level of prices for Ford Mustang GT V8 makes

it the winner amongst other cars for me An average price of $30,000 is significantly lower than the prices for the other cars with similar technical characteristics However, it is not too low, which would be a sign of a poor quality car This car is a perfect combination of an affordable price and unique features that make it a great choice Therefore, I believe that value for money is one of the most attractive features of Mustang GT V8

 Thus, I am passionate about Mustang GT V8 since it has all the characteristics that are crucial for me when choosing a car It has an incredibly attractive design, and the capacity of its engine is outstanding Moreover, the price of this car is surprisingly low for such exceptional characteristics All this factors make Mustang GT V8 completely affordable and particularly desirable for me and many other people who appreciate great cars
