You'd have to drive both of them to find out what you like better. I only drove the EB in the auto, and I was not pleased at all. The auto is just terrible, so I can't really speak to the EB without it being standard.

I'm a rainy day on the EB Mustang. It is great at some things, but I have a lot of negative feedback on some of Fords choices (some non EB related). I deeply enjoy anyone getting any non economical car and using it for economy, so I won't rain here
