301A or 400A?

That we're the same size, but my seat fell apart, while yours is fine. It's like I wear sand-paper clothes or something.

Ah ok. Do you keep yours garaged? Do you live in an arid climate or anything?

What I can say about mine is that it was always garaged......if it was parked it was inside. I work from home so the times it was parked in an actual parking lot was very infrequent. I kept it moisturized with leather conditioner on a monthly basis, it just seemed to hold up fine. Now my '04 was a different story.

I got leather because I think the car looks a million times better with leather inside and a nice touch screen that comes with the premium package. I use all of the premium package. Initially I was excited to have cooled seats after switching from cloth; but I love the heated seats just as much. The heat goes almost up to your shoulders and my back always feels awesome after riding with the heat on.

Ya know what? That might have been the real problem. The car was black, and was parked outside.

That might have killed the seat.

Boy....I'll tell ya.....I'll never get another black car again. Just a nightmare.

Yes, garaging your car and/or having good, quality tint on your windows will go a long way in keeping the interior looking good. UV rays from the sun will absolutely F up your interior after awhile.

Agree, I keep 20% on all my vehicles. Dark enough to look good but still able to see at night. Mostly. Ok, just not when backing up.

Oooooooooooh.....sorry.

But seriously....worst. Ownership. Experience. Ever.

Hit EIGHT times. Eight times. All while parked. 6 times hit at night. I don't think people could see it at night.

I'd have to disagree, but I actually like the cloth Recaros better than the leather ones. And, the nice 8" touch screen comes standard with 301A.

My 15 had the premium with leather heated and cooled seats. 2 years and 24k miles the seat bottoms looked a little stretched. Cooling feature didn’t work very good. Heated feature did work but it took a long time to feel any significant heat. I usually got to my destination before I felt enough heat.

My 18 went with 301a and really like the cloth seats. Don’t miss the leather seats or the heat/cool features.

Also the only difference between my 15’ GT premium and my 18’ 301a is the leather with heated/cooled seats and the pony projection puddle lights. It had the my touch radio but the 18’ has Sync. Other than that the 301a has everything my 15’ did as far as toggle switches big touch screen and customizable gauge colors/ambient lighting. etc. Adding the digital dash is one of the best mods I’ve done so far. You can add it to any 15 and newer Mustang for those who are looking to add it.

relocating to either Denver or Phoenix

I think if AZ is in the cards it might serve you well to go 400
You get some other nice features too in the '19 400 package

I had thought about doing that, but had also read that sometimes the digital gauges are a little delayed...has this been your experience?

Eh - I like the shine/look of the leather compared to everything else when it's clean so I'd get leather Recaros if I had to have them. But until they heat and cool I'm not interested - I've got plenty of support in stop and go traffic haha

Also airs out smoke better..

Never noticed any delays. Had 1500 miles on the analog gauges before i installed the digital gauges. Coming up on 10k miles now and still think they are amazing.
