We had an Auto Mustang Conv a few years ago. It was a good experience driving with the roof down but the ride isnt great TBH. The handling like a boat you mentioned about the Sebring sounds pretty accurate for the Mustang too. Sorry if Iv rained on your parade it is powerfull but dont expect much in the corners.

I guess they are just designed to work best on the roads over there with fewer corners as you said.

thank you. Will let you know. You will certainly get lots of hints and tips on here. If its your first trip i would recommend the brits guide to orlando and the unofficial guide to disney. You can get both from amazon at a good price. That long wait will fly and the planning can be lots of fun to and help the time wizz by

We've hired Sebring convertibles many times and were always happy with them, they got better as the years went on. In May this year, however, we had a Mustang and liked it much better although it was very high spec and not all of them are. Used quite a bit of gas but it certainly had more power than the Sebring.

Even so, we found the space in the boot much better and the ride more comfortable and would definitely hire one again.
