Just upgraded my Sync3 OS and now have android auto on the big screen. google maps and pandora powered by my phone and displayed on the main car screen.
Answer is simple. If you're older, and want the bells and whistles? Get the premium. If you're younger, and plan on doing some modifications to the car? Base model is just for you.
For me it’s a matter of you are buying the car for performance or buying it just bc you can. People who want it for performance and love the mustang then all you need is the base model, if you’re buying just cause you can then you want the premium so you can have a bigger screen and leather
ABSOLUTELY! I love my heated and cooled seats and the 8" touch screen Sync 3 premium stereo. I drove off the lot with a 2017 GT Premium with the 6spd manual for $32k...
got a used base model for 25k with 3k miles. chose the base as I was gonna upgrade all suspension and wheels. car went from driving like a light truck to feeling like a vette..fords suspension setup for these cars is crap. upgrade to eibach sportlines and koni yellows and put on some 305s in the back 275s upfront and now your cooking..
fernandizo I wouldn't say it's dangerous, but it's comfortable for cruising. The main advantage of stiffer suspension is the chassis reacts quicker, making it much more agile and responsive to the driver. Yes, Sportlines are highly recommended, but you can drive the car your whole life and not really need it
That Guy With the Pointlessly Long Username That You Are Wasting Your Time Reading Right Now . nice name..lol. when I first got the car I was scared to take turns in the mustang.. The first day I almost crashed it taking it out of a corner as the rear wobbled on me and caused the car to slip out way too far. after the stiffer suspension turns are linear the car stays flat through the turn with no vertical component. its night and day. This car should have come lower, with a stiffer spring and slighlty more dampened shocks.
i bought my 2016 base brans new for 27k after everything, i love my deep impact blue mustang, but the only thing that really hate and disapointed that ford doesnt offer to upgrade is that annoyingly tiny screen...ive seen tom tom and raxiom offer replacement plug and play, but even still they're both insanely expensive and very glitchy....
I just got my base GT for $29,400. I was surprised they came down so low from an MSRP of $35,500. Ruby Red Metallic Tintcoat. I don't mind the cloth seats and I plan on upgrading the stereo head unit anyway.
Bill Butler, I bought mine at Grieco Ford in Delray Beach, Florida. It was the Saturday during Memorial Day weekend. The key is you never let them close you on the first visit. You always walk out with their lowest price, call them the next day and tell them if they drop the price another grand you will take the car today! That's what I did and it fucking worked!
My 10 year old Pontiac has heated seats and a bigger touch screen and leather seats.Stuff like that should be standard on a newer car like this.Plus why don’t any of the mustangs have a sunroof? That’s kinda odd that there’s no option for it.
for some reason i dont understand why the proformance package base gt doesnt come with drive modes my learned that the if the car was going to be driven hard and taken to a church parking lot to do dounts (which i do both of these thing quite often) then get the proformance pack... can you make a video explaining why the proformace pack doesnt come with drive modes
The performance pack adds stiffer shocks, brembo brakes, etc, so there is a difference between the way the two cars drive. Also the premium shown here does not have the adaptive cruise control, just the regular one.
@@jakesmith9509 love to hear it man, congrats! I've heard those ecoboosts are really good, a 4 cyl with 300-330hp competing with a gt at a standstill is nice
@@marcanthony9659 Thank you! It's surprisingly fast. I got mine with the Performance pack as well. Best 0-60 I got so far is 5.3! Looove the low end torque! Hoping to add more parts to her and get her even quicker in the future. So far I only did a drop in filter and Catback. 😁
We just bought a 2016 GT Premium convertible about a month ago, same yellow as in the video. I couldn't be happier with it, it's fantastic and fun to drive. I'm not normally a fan of leather seats but the air conditioned seats alone are worth the extra for the GT Premium.
Matt Hartup I think the 15-17 is the one to keep. you can do more with modwise with it because its not DI. plus it looks way better than the droopy 18 face
I got mine for 45k but I got everything I could of possibly get with it also got it over yr ago but checked online around my area still cost 40+k. The GT350 they where all around 70-90k not the R version just the regular version. Wish they would cost 52k like they advertise but that's just bunch of bs a used one with 7k miles cost 55k around me all new ones over fucking priced I just wish they wouldn't do a dealer mark up so fucking stupid.
not worth premium only cause everyone upgrades to after market parts even if they spent the money on premium packages. I saved the money, went base so I had more money for mods. Not a fan of leather or the touch screen.. always enjoy your videos
I had a base model v6 and traded it in for a premium gt and honestly just the interior alone is far beyond the base model the premium mustang in my opinion seriously is the best looking interior than a lot of other vehicles around its price range
The premium package is worth every penny. It will not only enhance your experience but your best believe you’ll make at least 2000$ of that money back when you sell the car. Comparing a mustang with the premium package and one without is a very nice bargaining tool in a negotiation and the fact that lots of people cheaped out and didn’t buy it makes the ones that do have them all the more desirable
i would opt the gt premium just for the drive mode switch and extra gauges, not a big fan of leatger seats or pony projection or ambiance lighting or the bigger display, those are just luxury driving is an emotion edit: spelling corrections
Tappedurassout Scion/Subaru/Toyota uses Bose in their FRS/BRZ/GT86 and it's complete garbage. I know Bose is good, but I'm not sure about their car audio systems
That Guy With the Pointlessly Long Username That You Are Wasting Your Time Reading Right Now idk man, the 2006 RSX Type S came with a Bose system and it's pretty fucking good
Had the option between Premium or Performance Packs when I was buying my car. I saw no need for the premium, the performance pack on the other hand is well worth it.
I have a 2016 Base and love it ! Buy the Base and do upgrades yourself lot's to choose from out there . ! The stereo in the base is not bad at all . I don't need GPS or a Sat- Radio . The voice command works well. If your looking for a new 5.0 Gt Mustang look to spend Base= 30,000 to 33,000 Premium = 35,000 to 42,000 Keep an eye out for the new GT500 and maybe in 2020 the Green Bullet to come back ..!! P.S The new 10- speed is not bad at all.......!
Does the base GT w/ no performance pack come w/ drag mode that ford has advertised or is that something completely different from the 4 drive select modes in the optional performance pack?
My 2017 GT is pretty much setup like that yellow one, sticker was around 37k. I kinda wish I had gone for the Premium, just for the larger screen, better audio and cooled seats. Then again I prefer cloth, and have other vehicles with heated seats for winter, not like the Mustang would be used in winter anyway.
When the day comes and I can get a car, I think this is on the list of "Top Cars." I've been doing some looking around and the average generation age of a mustang is 9-10 years and the 5th Gen came out in 2015, so I'll be pretty good. I'd like to customize one of these Premiums and talk to GReddy and to see if I could get a custom widebody kit. I'd get a carbon fiber APR Performance Splitter and Spoiler, and possibly longer down the road, consider getting some Giovanna or Forgiato rims in red or some variant. I'd almost definitely have to go with the Toyo R888 for track, and, after a little bit more saving, some Toyo Proxes RS1 tires. Oh yeah, and some performance upgrades. A Mustang with a custom body kit would be my ideal car, and I could possibly find some friends who would be interested in the idea of creating a track and drag racing team. I have a good name. "100.2 Octane" for the racing fuel mix of 70% 93 Octane and 30% Toluene which equates to 100.2 Octane fuel. And I would need some upgraded injectors for a turbo and some upgraded fuel filters for the gas. I'm going to invest in the stock market later this year with a few hundreds I've saved so I can make this a reality. I'm only 12, but this is my ideal perfect way to buy a Mustang.
There's a PP1 and a PP2.. I have the PP1 with the performance/handling pack.. It can be very confusing.. I don't have that Rear diffusor Black crap but I do have the strut tower better cooling, 373's Rear, Beefier sway Bar, and she's a manual.. Oh and the Star of the show is the beefier better 373 Rear that comes with the PP's... And it matter's in the quarter... The only thing I wish I had was the bigger touch screen, that the 2018's started to come with, just to have a bigger back up camera.. I could care less about the Tech..
$4k more ? You can obviously finance that, if you’re gonna get into the whole process of getting in debt, might as well make it worth and go with the PP so you don’t regret not getting it down the road. I personally have a 2016 PP GT and I do not regret paying a tad bit more.
I wish I could have had seen a video like this before i ordered my 2015 new... i still kick myself for being cheap and getting the base, still love the car though
lol, good luck finding a new gt350 for under the 52k price range. premium u can get new, like he mentioned, after rebates around the 34k mark. that's a nice size different.
Louis Lewis You're right. I've found one dealer with 6 of them and they all are listed at $68-$74k. I kinda see it as a collectors item but after helping 2-kids through college it will be my first sports car.
I purchased a brand new S550 GT premium with performance pkg. Unfortunately, today Ford is equally as horrible as GM and Mopars crap. My mustang with now right at 45k miles on it, is collecting dust in my garage while I'm trying to keep miles off of it to buy a better quality vehicle. The Mustang isn't broken by any means, they are just built poorly. I now hate Ford. Want a Lexus product. My gut said Lexus, but my ignorant heart said Mustang. It was a Mustake
Thank you brother! God Bless! All that is cool. I would only really like the modes like how you could change the drive terrain, navigation and speakers would be nice but other than that I don’t care about the nice leather seats and lights and heated seats and all that crap. Only things that actually genuinely improve and help you get to where you’re going though it would be nice if you could pay an extra $4000 and get a little bit of extra speed make it a little bit faster. Haha. I definitely decided which one I’m going with, and that would be the premium.
The real bad news is that at Ford quality is job none! My 2021 Mustang GT premium was a big lemon. I could live with the cheap plastic interior and glitchy electronics but the clucky garbage 6 speed manual transmission was just garbage! I'm not the only one who thinks so, look at the class action that has been launched against Ford. Fortunately I was able to sell it and buy a real car from another manufacturer. It's no wonder Ford stopped building cars...I'll never buy another Ford...EVER!
I bought a 2020 used. It has the performance pack which I had to have. I really wanted the digital gauges but didn't want leather. My car is a 301a package and I'm happy with that. At least it does have the calculator radio. That thing is ugly!
My brother has a challenger and they offer a 7 inch and a 8 inch screen. Both of the mustang screens look small. Do you know what size they are? Btw whats with the goofy looking mustang light under the mirror? That novelty would last all of 5 mins then I would be looking for a way to turn it off?
I don’t know why people mention the destination charge, it’s just a dealer gimmick to make you pay more. I got not only two grand knocked off my premium gt, but they gave me three grand more for my trade and they didn’t even see my car till after the deal was done. Car buying is a game and you need to act like you have all the aces, which you do, even if you only have a pair of two’s.
i think its soo dumb that ford won't put siriusxm in the base model the base camaro or challenger has siriusxm without even paying a extra charge hell a base compact car has siriusxm what the hell ford
Not for me for some screens and leather. Money better spent on the Performance Pack and 10 speed auto. I actually prefer cloth seats over leather. Warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
You've answered all my questions I was just wondering what the premium and the basic half in it and you answered all my questions thank you very much appreciate the video I know the basic is going to be for me thanks again
I hate Sirius radio. I put every Elvis Presley Song ever recorded on a dongle and plugged it into the wife's 2015 and she cannot be happier. Me? Well I have all the 60's hits on my 2015! And my Tom Tom gets me where I need to be. So then in 2019 when I change out the car, (Maybe 2020 if the redo it again?) going with the base. Live in Florida. not heated seats please! Being 67 I have been backing cars up for a long time. I also drove a 12 ton tracked vehicle in Germany so backup cams are not a real need to have item for me. But we both love the mustangs, each and every one!
Pretty good video (I love my black 6 speed fastback Mustang GT premium loaded including 20 inch wheels/my only upgrade are Roush axle back mufflers which have a great growl and are much lighter weight)...but what is that twangy accent?...and you do not even promote your place because you fail to even say at the beginning or anywhere in the video WHERE you are located nor is that shown as a graphic on the video...not exactly good PR for your dealership! After typing this far I hit the Show More below the video and had to scroll way down to the bottom to see you are in Alabama (which explains the twang) in some place called Bessemer but you don't say where that is either or near what big city or interstate...if any. I guess I'll Google map it. Good luck in Sweet Home Alabama.
Got my base GT model. Upgraded the speakers with Memphis speakers + JL subwoofer and JL amp for $1000 with installation. I also added the 8" touch screen for $500. The audio and the touch screen costs me $1500 with tax and installation. I got the mishimoto muffler delete axle back exhaust along with the mishimoto X pipe resonator delete and mishimoto cold air intake. The exhaust + the x pipe + the cold air intake for $1700 with installationa and tax. So I spent less than $4000 to have a much better sound system and exhaust upgrade than the GT premium one. I careless about the cloth seats cause I live in California and its not freezing cold lol. Anyways, either one you will be happy with :)
Wow, if these two cars have their tri-bar, toothpick thin DRL's on, for might as well get rid of them. They're pointless when they're hardly visible in daylight. Geez. Now I know why so many folks comp,sin about the car not being visible head on. Looks like a little sun light shining into the headlights. Ford has to have the dimmest, dullest DRL's on earth these days.
You can get the infotainment system without the premium version. I'd get a base GT with sync 3 ($2,000) and the performance package ($3995) and call it a day. It's $1995 more expensive than buying premium, but you get the stuff that you need.
I have never been in a newer mustang, but from what I just saw...I don't like the radio display. The Camaro, Challenger, and Charger have must more intuitive and just nicer displays. I know this is minor, just throwing in my 2 cents. Leaps and bounds better than my 2004 GT premium...then again about 14 thousand more than the 28 that I paid.
Sad fact: You can buy a Mustang GT Premium and still save money over the base Camaro SS. OR, you could buy the base Mustang GT and put a supercharger on it, have the same money invested as the base Camaro SS, and have a much much faster car. Either flavor you pick, the Mustang is a better value.
They compared the Base without PP to a Premium with PP. Reg. Premium doesn't cost 42K (MSRP). Might as well wait for the '18s to come out. They will compete better with those Camaro's and have more options.
I really wish they offered the Sync 3 on the V6 models. Now I have to put the upgrade in myself. Looking at the Moddiction unit. I dont like the Raxiom one that AmericanMuscle sells.
I got a used lightning blue gt California Special manual trans with 9000 miles for $33000 out the door with 7 year 100k warranty. sticker price when new was $43000

Don't care for leather seats but having the larger touch screen and better radio would be worth it.
Karnegis love you dog
Just upgraded my Sync3 OS and now have android auto on the big screen. google maps and pandora powered by my phone and displayed on the main car screen.
It would be nice if they had a radio delete option and have a nice aftermarket system put in.
It does have radio it’s Bluetooth
Same, I use to be all about leather but cloth is more comfortable.
Ford has to stop giving us small as screens and forcing us to pay higher for a damn bigger screen.
ok, buy the base then buy the big screen radio separately then slap it on.
Brayan Nexon thank you people forget you can do that lol
Well said
Brayan Nexon exactly they sell factory plug and play kits for $900-1300 for the sync 3 system.
A lot of those unnecessary options aren’t worth the 4K
Michael Cervantez Facts
Answer is simple. If you're older, and want the bells and whistles? Get the premium. If you're younger, and plan on doing some modifications to the car? Base model is just for you.
PERFECT answer... because why buy the bells and whistles when you are only going to replace or not use.
krocialblack I’m young and I think the premium is worth 4K more
For me it’s a matter of you are buying the car for performance or buying it just bc you can. People who want it for performance and love the mustang then all you need is the base model, if you’re buying just cause you can then you want the premium so you can have a bigger screen and leather
I paid 4k for the premium and I'm a young dude. Some people just like having nice stuff regardless of age
@@TexasPoonTapa I’m young and got the base…I knew I was gonna replace the radio with the Tesla screen anyway. Only thing I really like is the lighting

Obviously.
It wouldn't be a huge difference without it

They already built one in I think 1971 I guess
Careful what u wish for, or they might just build and suv
Bradley Zoshak lol Mitsubishi
Car Information Channel
I think he meant why don’t they make a newer Mach 1 like how in the 60s and 70s
Get a base model then build your own Mach 1 with aftermarket or specific Ford performance parts YOU HAND CHOOSE to install😎👍🏾

FastballFilms #DabsAffilliatedMedia the suspension is way too soft in the base model for that much power. its actually very dangerous

Love them wills.
wheels!
Why gitcher wills from lawyers when u can just gittem from Ford?
it's hard to see the difference in the wills, wish they just let you pick from all of the available options.
Mustangs are so nice, especially if you can find a relatively new one at a used dealership, you can get one for a great price!

Bigger display, leather seats and just because I'm a geek the Pony projection looks awesome!
not worth premium only cause everyone upgrades to after market parts even if they spent the money on premium packages. I saved the money, went base so I had more money for mods. Not a fan of leather or the touch screen.. always enjoy your videos
Chet Pearson wait.. if you haveoney for aftermarket parts wouldn't you have enought to upgrade to premium?
what are you gonna upgrade that will replace the premium things??? The head unit??
Chet Pearson yeah I hate leather seats sunny weather and body roll are the enemies of the state lol
Omg its too cheep in your country its120% more expensive in indiaa
Premium is worth it , got to have those cooled leather seats in this hot south
In my eyes its do you want ketchup or mustard ;)
Myopia
This is why people like dodge. They basically want you to waste money when they could've just put in the regular one

BASE is good enough save money!!!I have a 15 base love it plus I got mine for a killer deal I just wanted the 5.0 motor
i would opt the gt premium just for the drive mode switch and extra gauges, not a big fan of leatger seats or pony projection or ambiance lighting or the bigger display, those are just luxury driving is an emotion
edit: spelling corrections
My advice is go with a premium it's worth it you won't regret it the upgrades are awesome❤👍🔥
Whats the difference between them
I just got a ‘17 GT Base Ruby Red like the one in your video but mine is base and it does have Sirius XM radio. I listen to it every day.
it's an easy choice for me after this video. The premium is absolutely worth it to me! thanks
Why Ford doesn't go with Bose is a travesty.. Now they replaced Shaker for 2018. bad to bad.

I had a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 GT w/bose speakers... they were paper cone, tiny magnet GARBAGE. They were literally the FIRST thing I upgraded.
Had the option between Premium or Performance Packs when I was buying my car. I saw no need for the premium, the performance pack on the other hand is well worth it.
I have a ‘15 mustang V6 and watching this, i wish i could get the GT. But then again i’m still 21 and this is my first car..
Dang good for you, in like 10 months, I might get 05
For me it's A) the driving mode switch and B) the leather. The rest I could do without although the projected pony is SUPER cool.
I have a 2016 Base and love it ! Buy the Base and do upgrades yourself lot's to choose from out there . !
The stereo in the base is not bad at all . I don't need GPS or a Sat- Radio . The voice command works well.
If your looking for a new 5.0 Gt Mustang look to spend Base= 30,000 to 33,000 Premium = 35,000 to 42,000
Keep an eye out for the new GT500 and maybe in 2020 the Green Bullet to come back ..!! P.S The new 10- speed
is not bad at all.......!
Aye u called it
Bought a used ‘15 premium GT and it’s totally worth it. The base and premium are so close in value used it’s a no brainer.
when is the 2018 going to be out
Sept.
Production for 2018 starts 10-2
Gregory Jowers get the 17.. 18s look like a dodge dart got punched in the face and broke its jaw. somebody fckd up in the design dept.
but the reworked 5.0 and 10 speed tho...
Sultankraver x don't get a 10 speed. 6 speed or nothing.
Does the base GT w/ no performance pack come w/ drag mode that ford has advertised or is that something completely different from the 4 drive select modes in the optional performance pack?
My 2017 GT is pretty much setup like that yellow one, sticker was around 37k. I kinda wish I had gone for the Premium, just for the larger screen, better audio and cooled seats. Then again I prefer cloth, and have other vehicles with heated seats for winter, not like the Mustang would be used in winter anyway.
When the day comes and I can get a car, I think this is on the list of "Top Cars." I've been doing some looking around and the average generation age of a mustang is 9-10 years and the 5th Gen came out in 2015, so I'll be pretty good. I'd like to customize one of these Premiums and talk to GReddy and to see if I could get a custom widebody kit. I'd get a carbon fiber APR Performance Splitter and Spoiler, and possibly longer down the road, consider getting some Giovanna or Forgiato rims in red or some variant. I'd almost definitely have to go with the Toyo R888 for track, and, after a little bit more saving, some Toyo Proxes RS1 tires. Oh yeah, and some performance upgrades. A Mustang with a custom body kit would be my ideal car, and I could possibly find some friends who would be interested in the idea of creating a track and drag racing team. I have a good name. "100.2 Octane" for the racing fuel mix of 70% 93 Octane and 30% Toluene which equates to 100.2 Octane fuel. And I would need some upgraded injectors for a turbo and some upgraded fuel filters for the gas. I'm going to invest in the stock market later this year with a few hundreds I've saved so I can make this a reality. I'm only 12, but this is my ideal perfect way to buy a Mustang.
Inspiration _ wow you have your entire life planned out
hey its been 5 years did u end up buying a mustang bro!
i got a 2017 base ruby red gt and couldnt be any happier
Slab_House805 I got a 2015 ruby red premium GT lol red twins !!
There's a PP1 and a PP2.. I have the PP1 with the performance/handling pack.. It can be very confusing.. I don't have that Rear diffusor Black crap but I do have the strut tower better cooling, 373's Rear, Beefier sway Bar, and she's a manual.. Oh and the Star of the show is the beefier better 373 Rear that comes with the PP's... And it matter's in the quarter... The only thing I wish I had was the bigger touch screen, that the 2018's started to come with, just to have a bigger back up camera.. I could care less about the Tech..
This guy needs to learn how to say "wheels"

You also get the gauge pods and blindspot monitors on the performance pack premium
$4k more ? You can obviously finance that, if you’re gonna get into the whole process of getting in debt, might as well make it worth and go with the PP so you don’t regret not getting it down the road. I personally have a 2016 PP GT and I do not regret paying a tad bit more.
I wish I could have had seen a video like this before i ordered my 2015 new... i still kick myself for being cheap and getting the base, still love the car though
I didn't realise I got the 2017 Mustang GT Premium til now I thought this was all stock, thanks for the info bro I appreciate it
You can get the big screen on the Base without upgrading to premium. Although it is like a $1,000 add-on.
Might as well purchase the Shelby GT350 version.
lol, good luck finding a new gt350 for under the 52k price range. premium u can get new, like he mentioned, after rebates around the 34k mark. that's a nice size different.
Louis Lewis You're right. I've found one dealer with 6 of them and they all are listed at $68-$74k. I kinda see it as a collectors item but after helping 2-kids through college it will be my first sports car.
very cool man. me personally id wait, the 2019 gt500 will be out in around 18 months. & that will be insane.
You are a cool dad!
hell, theres a cobra Shelby 2012 in a lot around my house and its $32,000 with 30kmiles .. planning on getting that one!
Just save up for the Shelby GT350R
I had a 16 base GT and now have a 19 GT Premium PP1 and yes it is totally worth it. But it’s up to each person.
I purchased a brand new S550 GT premium with performance pkg. Unfortunately, today Ford is equally as horrible as GM and Mopars crap. My mustang with now right at 45k miles on it, is collecting dust in my garage while I'm trying to keep miles off of it to buy a better quality vehicle. The Mustang isn't broken by any means, they are just built poorly. I now hate Ford. Want a Lexus product. My gut said Lexus, but my ignorant heart said Mustang. It was a Mustake
The touch screen. That's the reason I'm looking at the premium
U can get a bose radio for less than 500
The performance pack gives it that different aluminum trim above the screen not premium
Thank you brother! God Bless! All that is cool. I would only really like the modes like how you could change the drive terrain, navigation and speakers would be nice but other than that I don’t care about the nice leather seats and lights and heated seats and all that crap. Only things that actually genuinely improve and help you get to where you’re going though it would be nice if you could pay an extra $4000 and get a little bit of extra speed make it a little bit faster. Haha. I definitely decided which one I’m going with, and that would be the premium.
Premium package please
The A/C seats in the premium pack makes it worth every penny
The real bad news is that at Ford quality is job none! My 2021 Mustang GT premium was a big lemon. I could live with the cheap plastic interior and glitchy electronics but the clucky garbage 6 speed manual transmission was just garbage! I'm not the only one who thinks so, look at the class action that has been launched against Ford. Fortunately I was able to sell it and buy a real car from another manufacturer. It's no wonder Ford stopped building cars...I'll never buy another Ford...EVER!
For leather it definitely is worth it
Leather should just come in the base model
I bought a 2020 used. It has the performance pack which I had to have. I really wanted the digital gauges but didn't want leather. My car is a 301a package and I'm happy with that. At least it does have the calculator radio. That thing is ugly!
My brother has a challenger and they offer a 7 inch and a 8 inch screen. Both of the mustang screens look small. Do you know what size they are? Btw whats with the goofy looking mustang light under the mirror? That novelty would last all of 5 mins then I would be looking for a way to turn it off?
I don’t know why people mention the destination charge, it’s just a dealer gimmick to make you pay more. I got not only two grand knocked off my premium gt, but they gave me three grand more for my trade and they didn’t even see my car till after the deal was done. Car buying is a game and you need to act like you have all the aces, which you do, even if you only have a pair of two’s.
i think its soo dumb that ford won't put siriusxm in the base model the base camaro or challenger has siriusxm without even paying a extra charge hell a base compact car has siriusxm what the hell ford
shawn benfield Just another thing they did to justify the price difference.
Not for me for some screens and leather. Money better spent on the Performance Pack and 10 speed auto. I actually prefer cloth seats over leather. Warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Honestly don’t care about features is it fast dependable and can I improve it with my kids college funds ???
42k & still no moonroof?
Does anyone know if all premium models come with those gauges at the middle of the dash? Or if it's certain trims?
I'm 6'5. Do you think I could fit in this comfortably with no passengers?
Hmmmmmm base I only care what’s under the hoode
I got a base GT. Added all my own goodies. Both radios base and premium suck so save your money.
Can't wait til you guys do this with the 2018s. Show us a GT convertible.
Travfdy waiting on the gt 550
The only sound system you will need is upgrading the exhaust, not meant to be a boom box car just my opinion
Is there no chrome Mustang symbol in the middle of the front grill on the base as there is on the premium??
You've answered all my questions I was just wondering what the premium and the basic half in it and you answered all my questions thank you very much appreciate the video I know the basic is going to be for me thanks again
That's 460 hp. 420 torch if it was a 2020 anyway good job good video
I hate Sirius radio. I put every Elvis Presley Song ever recorded on a dongle and plugged it into the wife's 2015 and she cannot be happier. Me? Well I have all the 60's hits on my 2015! And my Tom Tom gets me where I need to be. So then in 2019 when I change out the car, (Maybe 2020 if the redo it again?) going with the base. Live in Florida. not heated seats please! Being 67 I have been backing cars up for a long time. I also drove a 12 ton tracked vehicle in Germany so backup cams are not a real need to have item for me. But we both love the mustangs, each and every one!
Pretty good video (I love my black 6 speed fastback Mustang GT premium loaded including 20 inch wheels/my only upgrade are Roush axle back mufflers which have a great growl and are much lighter weight)...but what is that twangy accent?...and you do not even promote your place because you fail to even say at the beginning or anywhere in the video WHERE you are located nor is that shown as a graphic on the video...not exactly good PR for your dealership! After typing this far I hit the Show More below the video and had to scroll way down to the bottom to see you are in Alabama (which explains the twang) in some place called Bessemer but you don't say where that is either or near what big city or interstate...if any. I guess I'll Google map it. Good luck in Sweet Home Alabama.
Got my base GT model. Upgraded the speakers with Memphis speakers + JL subwoofer and JL amp for $1000 with installation. I also added the 8" touch screen for $500. The audio and the touch screen costs me $1500 with tax and installation. I got the mishimoto muffler delete axle back exhaust along with the mishimoto X pipe resonator delete and mishimoto cold air intake. The exhaust + the x pipe + the cold air intake for $1700 with installationa and tax. So I spent less than $4000 to have a much better sound system and exhaust upgrade than the GT premium one. I careless about the cloth seats cause I live in California and its not freezing cold lol. Anyways, either one you will be happy with :)
Wow, if these two cars have their tri-bar, toothpick thin DRL's on, for might as well get rid of them. They're pointless when they're hardly visible in daylight. Geez. Now I know why so many folks comp,sin about the car not being visible head on. Looks like a little sun light shining into the headlights. Ford has to have the dimmest, dullest DRL's on earth these days.
You can get the infotainment system without the premium version. I'd get a base GT with sync 3 ($2,000) and the performance package ($3995) and call it a day. It's $1995 more expensive than buying premium, but you get the stuff that you need.
I have never been in a newer mustang, but from what I just saw...I don't like the radio display. The Camaro, Challenger, and Charger have must more intuitive and just nicer displays. I know this is minor, just throwing in my 2 cents. Leaps and bounds better than my 2004 GT premium...then again about 14 thousand more than the 28 that I paid.
All models should have the mustamg logo up front regardless of trim. The shaker system with built in sub sounds superb though.
I was thinking jsut the gt not premiere not I want premium cause it has better options
Sad fact: You can buy a Mustang GT Premium and still save money over the base Camaro SS. OR, you could buy the base Mustang GT and put a supercharger on it, have the same money invested as the base Camaro SS, and have a much much faster car. Either flavor you pick, the Mustang is a better value.
OFFRD get what u pay for
OFFRD you can also save the difference to replace your head gasket at 30 thousand miles
They compared the Base without PP to a Premium with PP. Reg. Premium doesn't cost 42K (MSRP). Might as well wait for the '18s to come out. They will compete better with those Camaro's and have more options.
I really wish they offered the Sync 3 on the V6 models. Now I have to put the upgrade in myself. Looking at the Moddiction unit. I dont like the Raxiom one that AmericanMuscle sells.
I got a used lightning blue gt California Special manual trans with 9000 miles for $33000 out the door with 7 year 100k warranty. sticker price when new was $43000
I rather get premium instead of base, like that touch screen is nice! and better radio! hell yeah
I LOVE BOTH WOULD BE A DREAM TO OWN ONE DREAMING GOOD FOR EVERYONE STARTS WITH DREAM WORK HARD PUT ALOT TIME EFFORT HOPEFULY PAYSOFF EVEN IFYOU LOSE AT LEAST YOU GAVE YOU ALL THATS ALLTHAT REALLY MATTERSAND MUSTANG I LOVE SINCE I WAS A KID IN HIGH SCHOOL MY DAD BOUGHT 69 MUSTANG WHERE GOING TO RESTORE BUT END UP SELLING REGRET BUT IF I COULD IF IHAD MEANS WITCH I DONT ID LOVE FOR ME DAD TO HAVE A NEW CAR MY MOM HIM ALLWAYS BEEN NEVER GAVE UP FOUGHT TILL THE END IM THANKFUL CAUSE OF THEM I FIGHT TO BETTER MYSELF NAD THE PEOPLE I LOVE THATMOTIVATES ME CHALLENGES ME MAKES ME THINK ALTO THATS WHY I WANTTO BE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER AND MAKES DIFFERNACE IMPACT THE WORLD SAVING PEOPLE HELPING THEM ITS ALLWAYS RIGHT TO DO DREAM CAR KIDS SO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS NEVER QUIET
Yes it is worth it, i only have the GT but i wish i had the premium
Hey nice video. I would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes of your day to take a look at my POV drive of a '13 Mustang GT premium
