2021 GT Premium PP
I have a 21 Premium PP and the ride quality is great. Coming from a 16 Charger SCAT pack...much heaver car, the Mustang feels solid but not jarring. Test drove a GT350 and that would probably be a bit much for a daily.

Rapid Red 2022 GT Premium California Special 10sp
My 2020 GT Premium 401A has a bit of a stiff suspension but it is after all a Mustang and not an Escalade. I really love it as my daily driver and have absolutely NO regrets in buying it.

Longest trip so far was only a couple hours and I was very comfortable.

There is just something completely satisfying in owning a car that is a thrill to drive every single time you get behind the wheel and I've had some pretty dang nice cars and pickups in my lifetime.

Also I love the Rapid Red color but must admit that the white ones with blue stripes are really eye catching and black just looks mysterious and somehow stealthy.

My premium auto is a great balance between comfortable, touring, and sport. It's way more daily friendly than a PP2, or GT350. Just don't push it on the turns like those other models. You'll hear the tires squeel and feel it losing grip way faster than the performance models. But yes, the quality is great.
PP1 is great and my tires don't squeel.

I have a 21 GT/CS which is a premium. The ride is great. I haven't had long drives yet but it feels very stable on highway and local roads. I have the Miko Suede Seats so you are planted in the seat and no tendency to slide around like leather. To me the premium was worth the cost with all the other goodies included.

I'm finding the ride in my 16 GT Premium very comfortable, however coming from a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Sahara anything would be more comfortable!! Making my first long trip next week from NW Indiana to Auburn, Alabama,. so i'll have a better idea then on how it feels over a long haul but so far so good. The A/C & heated leather seats are very comfortable!

2020 5.0 GT PP1
2020 PP1 non magna ride car. The ride is firm but not harsh but handles well. Under power the rear wants to walk around a little, but that's entertaining to me. I do wish they would have put a few more pounds of sound insulation in the car. The standard leather seats are really comfortable for my pudgy frame. Active exhaust is downright quiet in quiet mode. Overall my girlfriend and I have really enjoyed the car.

I daily drive a PP2 (w/ Magna) on A/S (not the OEM PSCup2) and its not too stiff/harsh. Its a 460hp sports car, it should be firm but its fine. If you live around a lot of rough roads, you probably dont want any sports car....

Houston has terrible roads. My Premium PP1 is firm but tight and does very well on our streets. But I won't be lowering or going to lower aspect tires. It may become a problem then.

My 21 with the 20-inch wheels rides better than any Mustang I have ever had. I guessed right, not getting the 19" summer tires. I wanted a GT car, and that's what I got.

Ride quality is good. When going over parking lot speed bump, it rocks front to rear, a bit more than I like. I replaced OEM struts and shocks with Bilstein, and the ride is slightly firmer, without any rocking sway.

I have 20" wheels on my 19 GT Premium and the short sidewalls of the tires make rough roads a little jarring but nothing I can't live with. The leather seats are very comfortable and my only issue I have is after a long drive my right knee gets a little sore from the way it's bent so I can keep my foot on the gas petal. Using the cruise control allows me to rest it on the straight stretches.
My 19 premium has the 20s as well and it rides better than I expected. Haven’t done any long trips yet, but around town it’s great!

I love the look of 20s. But with Houston's potholes I feel the need for more rubber between the wheel and the road.
