With the 2010 model year, there was an improvement in the interior materials, and the 4.6L 3V V8 was at the peak of it's development and was a good engine in my experience, although it clearly was down on power to the 2010 Camaro. That was addressed in 2011 with the first generation of the 5.0L Coyote 4V V8.
You are correct about the corrosion and the vinyl door panel sides dropping or separating in the 2005-2009. This wasn't something seen after 2010 after the interior was updated.
The current generation Mustangs are a step up, but a higher price point, of course. However, you can get 2015 Mustang GT models now for a reasonable price.
