2017 Mustang GT cloth vs leather

[Mike's Mustang]

Is it just me, or does it almost feel like you're peeing when the air conditioned seats are on?

;)

I feel like I sat in a puddle of ice water.

Not sure what condition you have, but my pee is warm.

Heated seats feel good on the back and butt. Cooled seats feel good on your nads(balls).

The only part of the seats that are leather are the actual seat (what your butt sits on) and back (what your back rests on). Everything else is vinyl and poor quality vinyl at that (ask me how I know). I was able to get them to replace my drive seat because a hole had worn on the bolster (vinyl) from getting in and out of the car. They replace the seat covering. Well, here we are a year later and another hole has worn in identically the same spot and Ford will not do anything about it, even though the car is still under full warranty. I am currently looking at purchasing some neoprene fitted seat covers to cover the driver and passenger front seats. I had a 2014 Honda Accord V6 with EVERYTHING in it including leather seats. ALL of the seat was leather not just part of it. Best seats I have ever seen in a car and I paid less for that car than I did my Mustang. Ford really screwed customers when the put those partially leather seats in the car. They don't wear well at all and your stuck either replacing them or buy really expensive seat covers because of the poor quality of the seats.

The seats aren't leather, they're not naugahyde, or anything similar. It's vinyl. All of it. The seating surface, side bolsters, backs....everything.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Been that way for years and years. Most of the seat coverings advertised as "Leather" are actually vinyl. Wait until it starts to wear, and you'll see and understand the truth of what I'm saying. As it ages it turns more plasticky, and when it cracks you can see that it's vinyl with a mesh under it.

Actually, yes they are, or at least the bottom and back are, albeit very cheap, very thin leather attached to a mesh or cloth backing. As others have noted, the rest of the seat is not leather, but the seating surface is. Not vinyl. :frusty:

Does anyone in here have the Premier upgrade? Because I believe they have full leather on the entire seat. Mine has it and definitely does not feel cheap, the sides feel the exact same as the seat bottom. The only thing I would venture to say is vinyl is the little magnetic seat belt retention loop on the side.

Premier trim on the 15-17 and 401A on the 2018 is real leather. The Premiums (400a) on both cars is vinyl. The premier trim feels, looks, and smells vay naice. It was an option that everyone who got a Premium Mustang should have selected, since ~350 for soft touch surfaces and leather seats is a steal. Now we have to pay $2,200 to get that. :headbonk:

Premium has leather center sections with vinyl matched sides. None of the real leather on any of the mustangs are particularly nice (very very thin).

Notice we are talking about Premier, not Premium. You can add Premier to the Premium package but it is not the default.

Notice my response was quoting the premium from the previous poster, not premier.

Ahh, I misread. Most people think they are the same thing when referring to them.

All good. I'm curious to see which ones hold up better over time (vinyl vs leather).

If you wanted high quality leather, you probably should have bought an Audi aka a more expensive car. This is a Mustang. It's a real shocker that the leather isn't top tier... /sarcasm

If want nice leather buy set of katskin covers better than factory

Good imitation leather is better than cheap leather. It feels about the same and definitely wears better than cheap leather.
