I had a Mustang convertible rental (ecoboost) last month for a work trip, figured I'd try it since it's not like I was paying for it. I didn't have high expectations, but man that thing was a total shitbox. The ecoboost would literally vibrate your spine at idle. Interior was creaky and bad, and the transmission didn't let you manually shift it whatsoever. The convertible was nice when the weather was decent but it was so bad in every other aspect I would've just preferred a generic crossover as my rental.
I'm sure a V8 non rental spec would be much better than what I experienced, I drove a friends S550 Mustang GT and had fun in that car. But I'd never consider a rental spec unless you can get a 5 liter.

I used to set up call centres as a gig so travelled a bit, would book a basic vehicle and at the counter ask how much for the 5 litre stang convertible. Often it was less than $10 a day, sold sir!.
Had great fun blasting through Wichita or Nova Scotia in them, it's a monumental engine, loves a rev.
