Trade Mustang for C43?
I currently have a 2018 Mustang GT convertible. I am thinking of trading it for a similar year and mileage C43 Convertible. The reason I am considering this trade is the Mustang seats. I am heavy (220lbs), old (79) and have arthritis in my back. Consequently, I can't drive more than about 40 minutes before the pain becomes unbearable. The seat cushion has very little padding and the seat adjustments are not adequate. I have had most German car brands in the past and the nicer models have very good seats. So, I have 3 questions about the C43:
1. Is the seat in the C43 the same as what is in the base C class sedan? I can't find any C43 convertibles around here to check out, or I'd just go and see for myself..
2. I have heard the suspension is very harsh. Is there a way to improve ride quality that doesn't cost a fortune?
3. I will lose a fair amount of performance. Can I bump the horsepower to E series level fairly easily?
OOPS...Crap, I just discovered I'm in the wrong forum. Moderators, please move it.
