Default All GT Owners Young? Any older GT owners?

Just curious if there are any older GT owners on here. I know most of you are probably young but us "old folk" like the car too.

I think the GT has something for all ages. It's sporty enough for the young crowd, but comfortable enough for the older crowd. But who says all young people only want sport and old people only want comfort? Heck, when I'm 65, I'd expect I'll still be driving like a bat out of heck.

I agree Em-Squared, I drive 65 miles one way to work and the gas was killing me. This car caught my attention as soon as I walked into the showroom never seeing one before that day. I liked the fact that it has a nice cargo area with and without the seats folded down and 39 mpg highway which is what I do back and forth to work. So glad I have both style and tech packages too.

Nah, 51 isn't "old." My husband is 41, which means 51 is only 10 years away.

Thanks for all the feedback, I guess I was thinking I was the only one older than the 20's, I was wrong. Nice to meet all of you. And ElantraVT I don't consider myself old either, but if I compare myself to someone 20, well, enough said, lol.
