Mustang is one of the best bang-for-the-buck cars out there. It's very competent, the drivetrain is excellent, it's comfortable for a "pony car" and has everything you need.

The only two downsides are that for the convertible GT, you have to get a "premium" which adds in leather and a bunch of expensive crap that you don't need, and it's still a Ford. This means that most of the interior is really cheap rental car-level plastic. But hey, it's not priced like an Audi either.
I think that yellow looks great, but I know there's no way I could pull it off. The interior on the S650 is a nice step above the S550, but yeah it's not a BMW. I cross shopped the M4 but that's a six figure car! This was <$60K which ain't cheap, but doable.
