Regrets of getting base get vs premium

[RSKTAKR]

GT PP with Recaros and I LOVE it.. I needed the Recaros because I loved them when I had a 2013 Boss 302 with them. I didn't want all of the premium shit because its just more weight and more $$. I thought the back up camera in my car standard was quite the perk lol.

The back up camera is amazing!

I'm kind of torn between the two myself at the moment. I really love the upscale interior on the premium models, and my girlfriend adores heated and cooled seats. To top that off, the rearview camera on the bigger screen is a serious bonus.

The only two gizmos I really care a ton about is sync and the rearview camera and I get both on the base anyway, just worried that I won't like the interior on the base for very long. I haven't gotten a chance to sit in it though, only the premium.

Getting close to ordering and I don't like how they setup the base with the small LCD screen and the layout of buttons around it. I will probably be going with a 400A.

I'm looking at a base comp orange GT PP with cloth recaros rather spend my money on going fast.

How bad is the base radio? I hate the way it looks my biggest issue so far.

It's really not bad at all....i mean, i guess if you want to just stare at it all the time you could complain that it could be prettier, lol; But functionality wise, it does the job- for me anyways.

Forgot to mention, really like the toggle switches and the different driving modes, and you only get that on the premium. Worries me that I'll get a dumbed down version of the car without them.

Does anyone know if maybe the base GT is already set to a "sport+" or "track" throttle response?

Nope it's stuck on normal in terms of throttle response and shift patterns

Double tap the button for sport mode on mine.

I came from a 2005 Scion. The base interior had everything I wanted. 'Base' is almost a misnomer. There's nothing base about standard Bluetooth, power seats with power lumbar, backup camera, all of the multimedia inputs and the aluminum radio/ac controls. Yes the LCD screen is small but I guess it all depends on what you're coming from. Ford didn't have to put one in at all.

Same. I just wanted the rearview, which is not too small, and all the blue tooth stuff.

The interior doesn't feel base/cheap at all. Had the car since November and I still can't get over how nice it is.

It's not the same sport mode as the toggles.

That's kind of a big deal, no?

on my 14 I regretted getting the base auto. I wish I got the premium.

So on my 15 I got the premium.

How is the "toggle" sport mode different from a base w Performance Pack sports mode? Doesn't it just alter steering feel and throttle response?
