Not at all. 200a here. Google maps makes nav pointless. I didn't even know the seat backs were supposed to cool! The bottoms work fine. Love the driving modes. Not an audiophile so the shaker is fine with me.

I was surprised at how much I love the redline premier trim. I find leather interior colored other than black just makes the car that much more rich-looking. It takes the stang to an all new level. I suppose I can see how the trackstars can find that stuff annoying and would rather spend the money on performance. :p

This is one car that suits many tastes, and Ford scored big-time with it. :thumbsup:

I would not have traded my base Focus ST for a Mustang if it wasn't a Premium, I also got the Performance Package and navigation. Coming up on 11k miles on the car and have zero regrets.

The Pony lights still make my wife giggle, I forget they are there. Played with the ambient lighting the first month but haven't touched it since, left the dash white and the interior ice blue. The heated and cooled seats work well. MyFordTouch has been flawless (something I can't say about the critically acclaimed uConnect in the wife's Dodge). The navigation works great, much easier and more convient than fumbling with a phone or window mount unit. I am not a big music listener in the car so the base Shaker system is more than adequate (did not renew the Sirius subscription or buy Sync Services).

There is nothing about my Ecoboost I regret buying and nothing I wish I had, even got my first choice color without having to order a car.

I'm very happy with the upgrade. The #1 reason I wanted it was because of the touch screen upgrade. I had a basic head unit in the car I was trading in (like the one in the base car), and I didn't want that again on whatever new car I bought.

Plus the shaker audio is okay...I'd say its a close second to the Harmon Kardon audio i was checking out in the 335i, but 100x better than what my camry had.

My seats cool pretty well, my back definitely doesn't get as cool as my butt does, but its not getting hot either.

Also the pony projection lights are pretty awesome. That is like the most common feature that my friend's and strangers like.

Had base trim on my 13 GT and regretted not getting the premium. Got the premium on this one and love everything about it.

I thought only the seat base heated and cooled. That's why I didn't go for them as it seemed pointless if you still ended up with a sweaty back.

The heated seats in my Disco 3 were great as the backs heating up were great source of comfort to my own back which kills me after a day at work.

I believe I read someone say the premium pkg was the selling point for them and likewise for me. I traded in a Focus ST2, which meant I didnt have the "extras" in my ST, and so I wanted them with my Stang. I may not use all the premium features (navi or voice controls) but I prefer the look of the premium interior and I love my cooled seats (mine work great!) for after a workout, a run, or a bike ride they're amazing!

you guys are starting to make me like my premium, maybe if i can get these issues fixed easily I will like it too..

I haven't been in a base, I guess i don't really have much to compare

I love my 401A package and only wish the cooled seats were better executed.

Love the Premium options on mine. The leather is much better on this car than anything I've had in the past. People may have their problems with the MyFord Touch interface and want SYNC 3 but I'm good with mine being that I'm not all about having the latest or best tech in my car (call me old school I suppose). Love the look of the center console with the toggle switches as well. Everything just flows together so much better than the base options.
Cooled seats work pretty good for me even if they don't function like they're supposed to, from what I'm told. I'll get it looked at later I suppose since I don't really get too sweaty on my back, even in this 100+ degree SW TX heat. The AC really works wonders on this car, especially with the remote start option. So yeah, no regrets.

Got the base GTPP and only wish it had a shift light but after seeing the GT350 shift light it would be nice too see if something aftermarket would be the same for a regular gt later down the line.

I don't think you will find anyone who regrets this option.
