[EcoSwag1990]

You're clearly the only one upset since you wrote like 5 pages worth of responses because I pointed that out

No, I'm highly upset. I'm sure those cloth seats are more comfortable vs. my leather seats. lol

Yea, I think RHM beats to a different drum. ;-)

The world is caving in.... someone on the internet said something!

All jokes aside, point is, I don't think anyone with an eco or v-6 really cares. I put a little over 250 miles on mine yesterday and think it is great. Sure a v-6 owner would say the same thing.

Being a Base V6 2015 Convertible owner myself, I must admit that I do miss the engine noise enhancement chip that comes standard with the EB 2.3 I4 giving you the thrill of hearing a "robust" engine experience that you don`t get in the NA 3.7 V6, just saying......

Seemed like the V6 won, but the PP won as well. Pretty sad that the EB's EPA numbers are like 5 mpg better than the V6, but in the real world it's only 0.8 mpg better. I got my GT Premium, but a V6 with the 3.55s and some money spent on aftermarket wheels, tires and suspension is a heck of a value proposition.

Right... and the other thing is that you have to get 93 for EB to get the HP... with the V6, you can use regular (unless I'm wrong) for 100% of the power. So you end up spending more for almost the same power with the EB.

I think the mpg conversation is flat for me... too close... was not a deciding factor in v6 vs. eb.

It would have been interesting to see how the v6 would have done in a premium package.

And everyone would be right! All 3 engines / 6 powertrains are great. This is a fantastic car and it is good to see some character coming back to the automotive world. In a sea of look-alike four door sedans with appliance like characteristics the 2015 Mustang, with any of the powertrains, stands out from the crowd and especially at this price point.

This is what makes the whole conversation moot. To some people cloth is much more comfortable than leather. And those who love leather have a hard time understanding or believing that. But truth is; comfort is subjective, just like color preference. Just because something costs more to everyone doesn't make it more comfortable to everyone.

Premium or Performance?

I agree... I had cloth for 11 years before this car.... before that had leather for 5 years. That is the joke... neither one is more comfortable. There are trades in each.

I only got leather this time around because of my belief that leather is easier to clean... especially in a convertible. Is it? Maybe not... for the way I do things it is.

But I think almost everyone in this thread understands that... :-)

If you live in the hill country of TX, AZ, or SO FL where temps average year around in the 90`s to 100` in blazing Sun, any question what is more comfortable, Cloth or Leather Interior? Just getting into a Vehicle after sitting in direct sun light for 6 or 8 hours will give you that answer fast!

Well you can always add leather to the V6 through the aftermarket if you want it that much.

Personally I find that cloth are more comfortable in extreme weather but leather looks nicer.

Personally cloth/leather should be a option choice. Shouldn't affect your engine or trim choices. Just like engine choice shouldn't affect your trim choice (ahem Ford on V6)

Some people would like a Mustang premium but with all cloth (not Recaros) due to their animal/leather beliefs.
