2015 Mustang GT Premium w/PP, Recaro Redline
The OE stock seats are good, but the Recaro's are so much nicer. I only drive my car in nice weather though so the heating/cooling for me is moot. I'm the only person who drives my car also so I don't care about the memory. I wasn't sold on the Recaro's so much at first and I kept justifying why I shouldn't get them, then I got them and am so glad I did. They are probably one of the single most enjoyable things about getting in the car for me is having them snug up against me for my drives. The one option you really need to not overlook is the premier interior option.
Im with you 100% man. When I was on the lot and saw the Redline interior with the recaros I knew that car had to be mine.

I will be the only person driving my car for a very long time so memory seats dont matter to me. I test drove one with A/C seats and I really didn't feel the coldness the way I expected so I wasnt sold on that. Plus the Recaros are just flat out sexy

My partner has a 2015 F150 Lariat with the heated/cooled seats and when I used the seat coolers it basically felt like a gentle fan was blowing out of the seat bottom.

The Recaros are worth it for sure. Most comfortable seats I've ever had. I mainly do long road trips and the seats are amazing. Wife loves them.

Recaros are great I have them in cloth on my GT however I would not give up heating and cooling for them if I had gone with a 401A. You're giving up a lot of equipment you are paying for already by going with Recaros in that package. I would recommend the standard seats with the Premier trim package. I would also think about White with the red interior this with the black wheels is truly a striking car. First car I ordered for Village Ford and it was gone in less than a week.

It really depends on how you feel in them. I'm a broad shouldered/Chester guy, and I couldntbstand them. But If you're built thinner it might be worth it.

I originally ordered my car with recaro's, but was worried about how well I'd fit in them since it was a snug fit in my Evo's recaros. Once I found out about the cooling seats, I was sold on the standard seats since I'm a sweater during the summer in the gym lol. Also ended up getting the 401A, originally ordered the 400A, but I think the 401A is definately worth it.

I think the Recaros are absolutely worth it. I only wish I had gotten the Premier option.

Coming from the 13 standard seats going to the 15 standard seats is like having recaros. Standard seats in the 15 are SO MUCH better. I decided against Recaros for that reason alone. But I love the idea of recaros if you need them for race purposes.

I sat in the Recaros before I placed my order, but opted to save the price of the Recaros and went with the standard leather seats in my GT premium. They are fine - very comfortable. The Recaros weren't worth the extra cost for me...

I love my Recaro's, car isn't a daily driver so I don't need the power seat or heated/cooled seats.

I certainly would not get them AND the 401A but it's your car and get what you want. I couldn't justify paying for 401A just to basically get the upgraded shaker since I could care less about HD radio and don't get memory seats.

I really wanted to like the Recaro's -- they look cool, and add something to the car -- but they just aren't comfortable to me, and the standard seats have plenty of bolstering.

I would agree with this too coming from a '13 GT with van like front seats compared to the standard '15 seats.

Still went with the Recaro's but the stock seats should not be discounted at all.

The standard seats are pretty impressive. I'm too big in the shoulders to fit the Recaros, but they standards fit me perfectly. Much more support overall than the S197 seats. I think I could drive this car for hours, unlike any of my previous Mustangs.
