Is the GT premium worth it over the stock GT

[Bubba Bear]

If you don't care about leather but want the larger screen, toggle switches, dual climate control, etc. just get the 301a package. Comes with most of the features of the premium just no leather seats or heated/cooled seats.

this - you want the 301a for the extram modes, and if you want magneride (and who wouldn't?)

Younger me would have been after as much performance as I could get without spending extra on comforts I could rationalize away. Older me absolutely wants leather seats (easier to clean up when my wife spills something), heated AND cooled no less. I live in Florida, it gets hot here, those cooled seats are simply divine. The larger screen, the active exhaust (my favorite feature by far) etc. All things I would have ignored when I was in my 20's or even early thirties I think.

I would have opted for no screen at all if it were available. I also wish I could turn the screen completely off while driving. I never use it while driving and in the dark the glow is distracting. IMO the huge screens look ridiculous are unnecessarily large and the Tesla-style giant iPads are a clear regression

Was wondering if the premium is worth it over the stock GT? Asking owners who maybe owned both, or if anyone wished they had ordered the premium. Is the sound system and seats that much better? , is all the adjustable ride, steering etc really used?

I own a premium... Call me boujee but I cannot sit on cloth...

While I don't know about the 2015 models, my 2016 GT Premium gives me the option of turning the screen to "night" mode and turning the brightness level way down, so Its not distracting or glaring. Check your settings menu for it?

This was my reasoning as well. I swapped the cloth upholstery for Premium leather, swapped out the wheels to the polished 19s and called it a day.

I do wish I had the toggle switches and MyColor, but I have no interest in the touchscreen.

I have a PP level 2 and I wanted cloth Recaros, hence "base" car for me. PLus I prefer the old school style analog guages.

Yes, I owned a bare bone stock A10 and a fully loaded A10 minus magnaride. Premium is worth it, as is the PP... The suspension on the PP is the ford performance street suspension kit, which is 1300 bones or so alone.

After owning the premium, if I were to buy another, it would be a premium.

16-17 NEEDS premium imo for carplay/aa/screen alone. The small screen is pitiful. 18-20 can go without if you get the x01a package.

Oh damn, I totally forgot that android auto won't run on the Sync TI-83. That alone is worth upgrading. Android auto is the shit.

Will Android auto work without USB cable through bluetooth? I've never once used Android Auto on any of my vehicles. What do you like best about Android Auto? Does it change the way the display appears?

I got the 401A premium package , way I seen it I can always add performance pretty easy but inside luxury is more difficult to add aftermarket.

It let's you access all Google assistant features from the steering wheel. Also, many apps run from the center screen. Newest version has a really good interface, which keeps your map open at all times. Additional apps like the phone and Spotify get a small bar at the bottom.

Yeah, except Sync 4 is not for us lowly Mustang people. I mean us lowly two door coupe ICE mustang people!

I got my 15 GT premium pack in early november. IMO its worth it, if nothing for the larger screen (android auto, apple car play). I upgraded my first/last car's headunit to have apple car pla/ android auto. It was totally worth it! The 15 mustang had MFT which i was very disappointed by.

Also, i'm sure it has been said earlier but it depends on how you are buying your car. If its a brand new car, then I would think about not ordering the premium pack and try to do things myself. But if its used/CPO, i think you would get a killer deal.

Why not swap it out for a Sync 3. Easy to do and not all that expensive.
