So I've ordered a 2016 GT PP with 401A, since I like the Shaker Pro and mem seats that come with that package. And I don't hate the BLIS, I've actually driven my husband's 2015 GT PP with that package a fair amount, and it's not terrible.
But I still think the BLIS solves a problem that...
Some people love the Recaros, some don't. I don't find them comfortable, and I'm 5'9" and 165-170. I agree that they look cool tho.
In any case, I would absolutely sit in the Recaros before you place an order!
So I kind of don't know what you're talking about, but that's OK.
What I've heard mostly (and experienced with our own Fastback GT PP) is that the PP changes the car from a typical Grand Tourer to (almost) a true sports car.
I've driven both with and without the PP, and i would pick the PP...
FWIW, we ordered and bought a 2015 GT PP Fastback with Recaros for the other half, and I have to admit that although I was the one who suggested them, I've ended up not liking them. At all. He likes them, though, or at least he says he does, so that's what matters most - he drives that car 90%...
Did you get the luster nickel wheels?
If so, that's where the extra $195 came from, at least it did on my order. I believe the PP with black wheels is still $2495.
Got my order in! I was waiting for a 2016 to get Sync 3, but Ford gave me an extra special bonus by offering the Performance Package on the convertible!! Woo-hoo!!
