Mustang interior update.....

[CJ4life]

I agree with the new Camaro's interior looking busy: just way too much stuff going on. I like the simplicity of the Mustang's interior a lot more.

Well, just because a pony car is adolescent doesn't mean that they have to include every cool looking feature snd style into the interior design. It is just way to busy and design wise it is all over the place.

At least Chevy didn't offer Lamborghini scissor doors as a factory option, seeing as that must be their number 1 request from enthusiast's judging by the last Camaro car show I stopped by.

The interior of the camaro looks nice there is no denying that but to everyone saying the materials look better/higher quality how can you possibly know they aren't just touched up photos with the same exact materials as the mustang?

I checked out several C7s and the M3/4 before buying the Mustang. The interior of the M3/4 is nice, but the design is extremely bland, and unless you pay $3000 or so extra for the full leather package, the materials are no better than the S550 premium with the premier trim. This is in a car that retails for roughly double the cost of a GT premium.

The Vette interior is leaps and bounds better than the C6, but the design just doesn't do it for me. You also can't get blind spot monitoring, and you can't get nav unless you spec out the nearly $2000 performance data recorder package. Want adaptive cruise, collision mitigation, or rain sensing wipers? Not even available. Also, the materials are no better than an S550 premium with premier trim unless you drop $8000 for the 3LT trim that has the leather covered dash. Now you're talking about a car that is $20,000+ more than the Mustang.

To each their own, but there's a reason that the majority of the automotive press has been praising the Mustang's interior.

The Mustang interior is nice to look at, but IMO that's about it. Once you start touching things, you realize how cheap it is. I mean the double brows move with ease, the chrome gauge rings are a cheap plastic that move with ease, even the faux engine turned aluminum feels super cheap. None of it feels solid, everything on the dash moves with ease when you touch it. Honestly I used to love the interior until I started feeling around and touching everything. Now the center toggle controls do feel nice and generally so does the center stack, but everything else on the dash seems cheap to me. I don't feel like everything should move so easily like it's barely held in place.

The standard hard plastic door panels & center console are just plain cheap looking!

Our 2015 Jeep Cherokee has an all Saddle interior, even the steering wheel. The stitching is all in Red and REAL! No fake stitching. The door panels and anything else you touch is soft. And, it was almost the same price as my 2015 EB Premium. So, Ford could have upgraded the entire interior from hard to soft with real stitching and we all would have paid for it, unless you wanted a base model for racing.

Everything in the car has a cost. Aluminum to keep the Mustang weight does- pricier than steel. The 5.0 engine, pricier than a 4 banger or V6 in a common vehicle. 4 piston big brakes- pricey than the 2 piston brakes on regular passenger cars. Bigger costlier rotors than a passenger car.

The Mustang is the most cost efficient high HP sports car out there for the price already.

I personally don't have a problem with the Hard Plastic Lower Door Panels and Console, but I HATE the Faux Stitching. I have hated it from Day One and it is one of the main reasons I want Premium Trim on mine. It does bother me that they Don't Upgrade the Sides of the Center Stack with Real Stitched Vinyl to match the Dash Brows Though.

Day to day driving you honestly hardly notice it. Never bothered me one bit or even noticed it. In fact it blend into the black trim instead of being contrast so you don't notice it. Not everyone likes the contrast stitching look. I think it's overdone in the premier honestly, just too much cntrast stitching everywhere (seats, dash, doors, shift boot, etc) and am ok with the molded black stitching.

I've never had a problem with a regular GT Premium trim without the premier.

I would have happily paid the $400 for something other than black or red. Why on earth did someone decide that only black and red would be the premier trim colors? I was even OK with settling for the saddle...but no, can't even get that with Ruby Red which would have been one of the best color combos ever.

Ended up ordering Ceramic with Ruby Red. I've had black inside for 11 years and I'm tired of it. The Premier red doesn't look right with Ruby IMO. Wish they would have offered Ceramic in Premier trim but other than the upper door panels and the console cover being hard plastic, not a huge difference.

Faux stitching is an industry trend. If it brings up the perceived value of the car to more buyers than it puts off, then it works.

Hmm first time I have seen it on any vehicle. Remember having faux stitching on baseball practice balls but that was like 17 years ago.

Would only make sense if you could upgrade it along with the dash when getting Premium trim. Faux stitching is just way too ugly for my taste, its a joke to put it in a car like this tbh.

Hyundai/Kia, Subaru, Toyota, Ford, and Chrysler products (like Jeep) use fake stitching in a number of models. It's good to know that we have a $400 option to get rid of that crap, because I don't like it either.

I give the nod to the mustang on exterior, but the nod to the camaro on interior and features. You obviously haven't used their HUD, or sat in the new vette. Have you seen a vette in stealth mode? It's slick, and a cool feature. I agree the interior might be adolescent, but so is buying a pony car. Don't kid yourself.

Explain to me how buying a pony car is adolescent?

Guess the models that have those aren't sold in the EU. Ye its nice we can change the stitching on the dash too bad that only changes half of the faux stitching :( but maybe in the future... Rather have no stitching of any kind instead of this faux stuff.
