If you are willing to forgo making a car salesman rich, the private party market opens up more and better options for whatever your budget may be. Your biggest loss will be in the trade in. If money isn't the issue, then just continue driving the Mustang and enjoy it.
I haven't driven one yet, but the Sonata appears to be a good car.
... and an automatic is going to cost way more in terms of maintenance and repair. Manuals are the frugal choice for those that know how to operate them.
