MY 2018 Alcantara seats

[GTsmoke]

Hello,

I live in Luxembourg/Europe and we can now order the MY 2018.
I‘ve got one question that no dealer can answer here.

Can the Alcantara seats (in combination with the carbon package) be ordered with the option to cool/heat the seats?

Thank you for your feedback, guys :-)

What part of my question did you not understand?

Pretty clear to me. The California Special (which has Alcantara) in 16-17 had cooled and heated seats. So I don't see why not. Can't confirm for the 18 carbon package though...

Thanks, that was the clear answer I was looking for :clap2:

I still don't get the hype about Alcantara. I have it on my Microsoft Surface products at work and after just 1 year they are grimy as HELL. I have to clean mine like weekly to look LESS like crap.

I have no idea why you would want this on a seat or interior unless you REALLY love to do detail work.

The Alcantara seats part.

Never knew it was available in a Mustang. Never seen a Mustang with it, never saw it on Ford's site as an option.

In fact, I‘m still not decided to take Alcantara.
I love the look, but I‘m aware of the detail work.

I just want to know if the Alcantara seats are heated/cooled

Just have a look at Ford.com and configure the MY18. There you‘ve got the choice of Alcantara.

Oh they look and probably feel amazing(though you'd have pants on so not sure how that would be "felt" unless you drive without pants). I'd just rather have something easier to keep clean.

Yes they are heated and cooled. I have them in my 2018. They also keep you planted in the seat around corners without being uncomfortable like Recaros.

Good to know

Had an microfiber "alcantara" sofa once...ended up throwing it away after 2 years. Garbage for any high wear areas....I wouldn't wan't it on any daily driver.

FWIW, I have the split Alcantara/leather seats in my 2016 Nissan Maxima SR...and I really like them. The heating and cooling works better (in my opinion) than the heating and cooling did on my previous 2015 Mustang Ecoboost Premium. The Alcantara does have to be cleaned often, but it isn't that difficult to keep it looking nice; and after two years, it has worn very well and is still very comfortable and hugs the body comfortably in spirited driving. If Ford permitted substituting the Alcantara for leather in the premium packages, I would select it over leather...and so might a few other people. BUT...YMMV! :clap2:
