It's worth it and you'll get most of that back when it comes time to trade it in. Same with the performance pack and 401A package. Also regarding the 401A, you can only get it on a premium so if you're going Premium absolutely get it, for the option cost it's a steal and gives you the digital gauges, navi, dynamic cruise control, and improved interior. Aftermarket the digital gauge cluster alone is $2000+.
Glad you’re posting again! I have my 2015 gt base model, and I’ve loved every second of it. It’s only recently that I’ve been wondering if I should’ve got the premium, but in my opinion not worth it. My buddy’s got one and I feel like I’m not missing out. You get over all the nice features and it all goes back to the way the car drives.
Very informative. I just bought a 2016 GT premium/performance a couple of weeks ago. I love that damn car! I had no idea there were nine speakers. Great stuff. I'm subscribing.
Lol I’m a yr late but I live by that and converted my girl to think the same way. She used to love foreign cars until she noticed every car I’ve owned is at least between 4-10 yrs old but top trim and loves them more then her BMW lol right now have a G8 GT and she loves it more than me😅
Thank you for your honesty, brother. I purchased a 2019 GT-p, I'm not really sure I need all of the onboard gadgets. Generally not a leather person, but NOW I have a canine copilot and clean ups are a matter of a simple vacuuming. The digital cluster is nice as well as many other purchased options, but I just don't know if I'd purchase new again...
I love my 2015 premium GT lol I get to cool my butt and heat it . Plus dual zone climate control was a must since I love the AC and my fiancé loves having the heater on.
Robert Romero more like... avoiding unnecessary money loss, on the first 3 years of depreciation. The only people who don’t care that much about depreciation are very rich people and people balling on their daddies money. Since this is a mustang video, I bet you fall under the second category. Very rich people don’t buy the mustang GT, even if they do they most certainly get the premium package without thinking if it’s worth it or not.
I went with a loaded (401A) 2017 GT with 4000 miles over a base 2018 GT for the same price. I like all the extra options and its my daily driver. I don't care about weight and quarter mile times. I like the heated and cooled seats and XM radio. That's just me though, we all like different things
Geo I agreed, and for the majority of people that drive these cars, daily driving creature comforts like that is what you’ll use 99% of the time your in it.
My options were a 2016 27k mile base model performance pack for 28k, or a 2017 premium with 3k miles for 31k. I went with the 17’ for obvious reasons and for daily driving as well. I also hate the base model screen
Thank you. This is exactly the kind of video I have been looking for. I’m going to get a 2016-2017 GT, best thing in Sweden is that all GT here come with the premium package.
Your comment about the $5k difference between the base and premium trims made me curious so I just looked. The Ecoboost models are right at $5k difference between the base and premium trims. The GT's are only $4k difference, so get the V8 if you want the premium trim! ;-) I bought a 2016 GT convertible used. Obviously, that's automatically a premium trim but I would have opted for the premium anyway. I really like the Sync 3 interface, larger touch screen, etc. Plus there are certain other option packages I really wanted that are only available on the premium trims. I totally agree with you about the seats. Given the option, I would have picked the cloth seats. The leather is ok, but not great in my opinion. Also, given the option, Ford can keep that fully automatic AC. Again, it's ok for the most part but I'd rather just have the manual AC. In the long run, it's a lot less "stuff" to go wrong and sometimes, it seems to get confused as to when it needs to blend heat. My other car is a 2013 Toyota Rav4. It also has a fully automatic AC system but it's head and shoulders better than what's in my Mustang.
Finally somebody who drives the cayote like its supposed to be driven. Im trying to decide between the premium and performance pack. And if its worth it.
@@moisescristobal9740 Who said that I haven't had one problem with mine 2019 .5 Mustang GT 5.0 6 sp. prem.PP1 other than sometimes a 3rd gear lockout, and I had an electronic computer glitz in the dash board which they said was a recall but I realize when I stop running the air/heat together the glitches stopped, no other problems engine is just superb and delivers and I get better gas mileage with this V8 Coyote engine than I did with my 2014 Mustang CVS 3.7 prem/pony/PP.
Liked your review. I'm in that situation right now regarding base vs performance. I wanted automatic (at least your wife ok'd the stick). I also wanted active exhaust, Magne-Ride Damping, all driver assistance systems. Also toying with the B/O 10 speaker HD Radio. Some of our most memorable arguments over 50 years of marriage, has been over adjusting the thermostat. She's tiny (4'11"), and is ALWAYS cold. I'm just the opposite. So, you know how that goes (I walk around the house in just a pair of shorts). If you look around, this car is pretty well priced either way, and there's always stuff you get that you don't really want when you start buying packages. What do you think of the Shaker system vs B/O? Also, does the active exhaust really make an auditory difference? Other than the black, did you consider any other color, blackout kits, striping, etc.?
Bought a 2015 mustang gt black on black with some performance package on it. It has the bar over the engine bay, gauge cluster over the radio, upgraded brake system and larger radiator. Doesn't have the shaker system, one speaker per door, no subwoofer and only 6 speakers. Have been saving money trying to find the right one for a while so I went with this one for 28,500 cash. Certified used car from the dealership so I thought this was a good buy. Had to make a trip to Plano, Tx. with a buddy though to go pick it up, which is about 8 hours away one way from where I live. Work at a shitty job that don't pay enough so saving money is very hard especially with this economy right now. After researching a lot of mustang gt's online, there's something wrong with it if its under 25 g's. It either has too much mileage on it, or it has a salvage or rebuilt title, 2 things which I tried to avoid. Also if gt had been owned by 3 or more different people that's a negative according to a salesman I talked to. Don't really know why but that's what he told me. Anyway thanks for the video, gave u thumbs up.
Love the video I'm in the market for an either 2015 16 or 2017. I think I read the 2015 had engine issues. Is that true. Whi h of those years do u recommend? Any issues with the 2016?
The fully loaded optioned out Premium Mustang GT is insane. Just feels so high quality compared to the base with cloth seats and that annoying small screen with no switches.
Good job of explaining the differences appreciate it because I'm starting to look for another Mustang and was wondering if it's worth it. So anyway thank you sir & Have a Merry Christmas to you and ur's 🇺🇸 MERICA
I think I want the cloth seat bc they are more comfortable and what I like but I do want the touch screen and the driving mode switches, the interior lights as well are nice. Does all that come with it if you get the 301A package on the base? basically like a premium but with cloth seats instead of leather?
But mine has blind spot monitoring? I thought all premiums have it? Mine doesn’t have the blind spot mirror because of it. And I also have the memory seats
New owner of a 2015 V6 here. I window-shopped for a year and didn’t consider buying a base model until later in the game when I realized that I could add on the things I wanted in the premium models for less money and actually tailor it to my tastes. Now, that differs from person to person and I realize that we’re comparing a GT to a V6. Still, I love this video and the thought process.
Awesome congrats! Still plenty of tech and fun toys in a base model car! “Base model” doesn’t mean what it did 10 years ago, and a mustang is a blank canvas to build whatever you want! Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Man I know I'm late but this just popped up in my feed. Had to check the garage when you said borla atak driving a premium.....that's what I have lol 😂 I like the premium options but it's up to the buyer like you said. Great video too. Noone shows the differences too well until now
i was planning on modding the hell out of my mustang from performance parts to visual parts so a premium or pp1 or pp2 wasn't an option for me i wanted to make it unique. apart from every other mustang you see in every corner .
The biggest difference is that the PP1 and PP2's come with 373 Gears which will rip the 355's that the Base comes with.. If you are getting a manual it automatically comes PP1 because the manual Benefits Greatly from the 373's over the 355's.. If you have the 10 speed then you will want the 355's more than likely.. The 373 manual will rip a 355 manual in a quarter mile also the PP1 and PP2's come with beefier sway bars struts, strut brace, and staggered wheels.. I could care less about the tech, I'm old.. LOL. Anyway great video...
2016 base GT W/ 4:55 rear gears / Borla ATAK 3'' cat-back ! Sounds great , loud when you want & quiet below 4k rpm's .! I'm happy i went with the base , less to go wrong & I can mod the car as I want too.... !
Could be wrong but I thought the premium (especially with the performance package) got beefier brakes and suspension, a strut tower brace, and a sport exhaust. And in the autos it also got a more aggressively geared transmission.
Unless you add a PP, the only difference between the Premium and the Base versions are the luxury added extras and media options. The only minor performance difference is with then toggles changing modes. It's a very slight change and not worth the upgrade price if you don't care about the other stuff. I got a stock GT and modded it for performance. I couldn't care less about leather seats and stuff like that. Oh, you can add the PP to a base model as well if you choose to do so.
I have a 2016 5.0 PP2 Package and my electronic display makes your display look like a "PONG" game back in the day. WTH? You got ripped off.. Other than an that, most everything is the same. Here in hot-ass So-Cal I use the A/C seat on my driver's side while I use the heated seat on the passenger side when picking up In-n-Out! Glad to hear you have the 3.73 gears though. I'm a total advocate of that gear. However, with my automatic, I'd get at least a .5 second jump on your manual. Big Smiles, but Kudos none-the-less.
I'm picking up one in a few weeks as well, 2016 is base but there is 2017 premium so I might go for that its jst 3k extra. I'll see tho ( H town in the building )
I have an EcoBoost premium. I really enjoy all the extras that come with the premium option especially the large touch screen that works with Android Auto.
I got a 2022 GT premium and did not know there was a premiumest with magniride suspension, heated steering wheel, memory seats, digital dash, PP premium option with oil pressure and vacuum gauges, bigger radiator, upgraded sway bars, etc. Apparently my premium is not premium enough lol. I think if I did it over I would have gotten a Mach 1 with 6 speed Tremec PP (if optioned) fully loaded premium.
I have a 17 401a with everything that I bought brand new, I didn't think I needed all those options but they sure are nice as a daily driver and fifty miles back and fourth to work
Same here bro, 17 gt PP, premium, 401a, no recaro and no adaptive cruise. I love it, especially the 13 speaker shaker, so much bass and sounds so clear.
@@germannava8580 I have a meeting on Saturday with the finance guru and if all goes well I leave with the racing red gt premium 6 speed from 2017. Drove the 2021 gt with all the options brand new at twice the price and I really don't see what all the fuss is about on the 10 speed.
Got my 2017 GT Premium with Performance Pack and 401A with Ruby Red paint and Painted Black Roof for $30,000 with only 5,500 miles. The previous owner also had the $1600 Ford performance by Borla cat back installed. Only issue is now I have a super loud tick that increases with RPM like the so called 2k rattle, embarrassingly loud so I brought it to the dealer and the tech says the noise seems to go away when he deactivates cylinder #3 so now they want it for "a few weeks" on November 25th..... here we go.
So mine has an android screen that takes up the whole center basically. My mode button switches the music mode from aux, radio , whatever. Should it be doing that. And mine doesn’t have leather seats
It's Def worth the money for the PP1. What you are showing is the PP2 I believe. You get a bigger Rad/Better cooling, Staggered wheel's/Bigger wheel's and tire's, But most importantly (The 373's Rear/gearing which are the star of the show), better brakes and handling too. Beefier sway bar along with a Strut Brace, And it matter's...
This video makes me miss my 15 ecoboost premium. I had just about everything on it except gps and the performance package. Really great car. As far as I know, the mustang is the only one, one of the only cars, with heated and cooled seats. Others might have ventilated seats, but not cooled seats. Always felt like I was sitting in a cold puddle though, lol. I love leather seats. Get them in any car I have. I build up a stupid amount of static electricity, especially in the winter, and for whatever reason, leather seats don’t do that for me. Wish I could’ve kept that car. 😩 Whoever bought it definitely got a good deal. What’s your thoughts about the rotary gear shifter? I’m not a fan of them at all.
That’s awesome! Yeah it’s definitely a super nice place to sit. Makes it feel like a lot more expensive car. As far as the shifter in the new gt500, I kinda dig it. The gt500 has always been a special car and should have some special quirks, I imagine a manual version will pop up eventually, but that dual clutch on paper looks pretty stout!
Brothers On Wheels Wow I’m surprised! It seems weird to turn a knob instead of shifting back to drive. Maybe it’s not as weird to use as it looks, lol. I can’t drive a stick shift, so automatic is my only option. If I ever get another chance to own a mustang, I definitely look forward to it. I had a lot of fun with that car!!
I’m about to buy a 2018 gt pp. I hate leather as I live in Vegas and it’s 100 degrees half the year. The only thing I wish they offered was cloth with the 8” screen but it’s pretty easy to swap it for 3-500$. Along with upgrading the sound
J C- Yep probably some great discounts on the leftover 2019 New Base GT cars with cloth so better in that climate. Nice with manual and cloth and other stuff unnecessary. A base GT with the PP1 option package and manual is Best Buy. Less tech means less maintenance and repairs because it’s the electrical and software tech that causes most issues later on.
Damn I don’t care for the sound system I’d just like to have leather cooling and heated seats that’s all smh but like you said it’s better to get the premium if getting used car ..... prices high so I’m waiting for it to go down
I saw the Premium Package as just more things to go wrong. A buddy has a 2015 Premium and his puddle lamps aren't ponies anymore - they're just amorphous blobs of light. The leather is not of very good quality. I compared my buddies' leather to the leather in my 2004 Tiburon and .... the Tiburon is thicker material, softer and just feels better. His seats are already starting to come apart while the Tib being 16-years old and a quarter million kilometers later has one split seam. SatNav is pointless if you're like me and live in a rural area and I did not see the value in the satellite radio either. Not to mention, what happens when Ford decides to change the way the satellite works or something like that? Now your fancy radio is useless. I actually eschewed the Performance Pack, though occasionally I do regret that. My reason being my car will never see the track, and I don't want to have to pay MORE for coolant changes or brake replacement. I should have taken the 3.73 Torsen upgrade..... my dealer offered it to me for FREE as the factory had a surplus but.... I still think I got a win as mine is a 2016. I got my Deep Impact Blue which was NOT an extra-cost color in '16, and my groovy 1-year-only hood turn signals basically for free, since there was no price hike from '15 to '16.
I could be wrong but I think the sway bar came in the later models, you can fit it on this one. The sub in the trunk is part of the premium sound system and I know the bullitt comes with brembos so maybe performance pack or aftermarket
I went with a used 2015 Mustang GT due to it have less than 9,000 miles. The premium is cool, but if you’re going to mod it out, I don’t think the price is worth it...
In my opinion, the 2020 Mustang GT-P is WAY worth the price if ONLY for the digital dash. That thing is killer and I absolutely love it. If you went to get the aftermarket one, its $2k. So maybe you dont care about a bigger stereo screen or leather seats and you wanna do the dash on your own. Either or.
You mean NOT worth the price. You could save the 5-7k that the dealers markup for a premium and just buy the $1500 aftermarket screen. User 2018 premiums are like 35k or more vs the base model at 26-28k rn
I’m not a gadget and gizmo guy. My 3 Mustangs were all base. The 08 had no option the 13 just had brembo brake package and the 16 had just the performance pack.
There’s no need for the whole screen and digital dash. If you’re getting a mustang, it’s because of the amazing coyote engine and how fun it is to drive. You guys will save thousands of you just get a base. Plus with those thousands saved you can do after market stuff. Exhaust have to be changed too, so don’t get active exhaust, it’s a waste of money.
Nah I like having the nice interior. No way in hell I’d buy a bass unless it was a V6. And the base screen looks disgusting. Looks like it came out of a car from 1999, rather then a brand new car.
That's how my 2019.5 Mustang GT 5.0 6 sp. PP1 came none of the luxury interior stuff, with the exception of the satellite radio it has that, along with everything else all on the outside of the car.
I'd get the base with the 301a package. I, too, am not a fan of leather seats (you really do have to take care of them, or they'll crack in about 4 years).
5 grand for lots of stuff but the only thing I really like is the bigger screen. Thats the problem with packages! You get a few things you want but then a bunch of crap you don't but it all adds up. /You can buy an aftermarket screen from sony for probably a grand.
I'm sure you can get one waaaay cheaper for a mustang. But what do i know, I swapped my stock stereo to a touchsreen on my honda civic for $350. Included the new stereo, the new molded dash mount, cables, rear camera, etc
Getting my first gt next year. Should I get a premium 2017 GT or a base model 2018 GT??? (I’m looking for all out performance btw, and I heard 10 speed is insane)
I have a 2018 GT. And I really appreciate you going over all this bro. Thank you.
Do you still have it? I cant wait to look into getting one
Dude, you were so informative and helpful you get a subscribe. Will definitely be back for more late night mustang fix!

I think the premium is 4k and you can get a package (300A or 400A?) to get the larger touchscreen and toggle switches on a base car for 2k.
Very right about buying a premium used vs new.

2019 mustang gt comes with a drag mode, I believe, that sends it from 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds. If you’re into 0-60 times, that’s worth a look too.
Too bad they’re super unreliable

Man I know I'm late but this just popped up in my feed. Had to check the garage when you said borla atak driving a premium.....that's what I have lol 😂 I like the premium options but it's up to the buyer like you said. Great video too. Noone shows the differences too well until now
Vince P. Thanks man I appreciate that!!
@@DayneLeBlanc Just saw you're video on getting the v6 lol. I'm subscribed. Can't wait to see what you do!
Vince P. Watch one more up...already got rid of that too lol was a terrible car
2016 is the only year with signals in the hood vents
There’s a reason for that. They realized no one can see em. 😂😂😂
i was planning on modding the hell out of my mustang from performance parts to visual parts so a premium or pp1 or pp2 wasn't an option for me i wanted to make it unique. apart from every other mustang you see in every corner .
coyote gen 3 wat do u mean
i’m confused too
Jets Set 5.0 you could get aftermarket dash, sync screen, seats, maybe that’s what he means?
The biggest difference is that the PP1 and PP2's come with 373 Gears which will rip the 355's that the Base comes with.. If you are getting a manual it automatically comes PP1 because the manual Benefits Greatly from the 373's over the 355's.. If you have the 10 speed then you will want the 355's more than likely.. The 373 manual will rip a 355 manual in a quarter mile also the PP1 and PP2's come with beefier sway bars struts, strut brace, and staggered wheels.. I could care less about the tech, I'm old.. LOL. Anyway great video...
Only 6 k subs dude needs more subs fr
Black and maroon are the only colors I like this in.
2016 base GT W/ 4:55 rear gears / Borla ATAK 3'' cat-back ! Sounds great , loud when you want & quiet below 4k rpm's .! I'm happy i went with the base , less to go wrong & I can mod the car as I want too.... !
Damn you put 4.55 gears in the rear?
Could be wrong but I thought the premium (especially with the performance package) got beefier brakes and suspension, a strut tower brace, and a sport exhaust. And in the autos it also got a more aggressively geared transmission.
Unless you add a PP, the only difference between the Premium and the Base versions are the luxury added extras and media options. The only minor performance difference is with then toggles changing modes. It's a very slight change and not worth the upgrade price if you don't care about the other stuff. I got a stock GT and modded it for performance. I couldn't care less about leather seats and stuff like that. Oh, you can add the PP to a base model as well if you choose to do so.
I have a 2016 5.0 PP2 Package and my electronic display makes your display look like a "PONG" game back in the day. WTH? You got ripped off.. Other than an that, most everything is the same. Here in hot-ass So-Cal I use the A/C seat on my driver's side while I use the heated seat on the passenger side when picking up In-n-Out!
Glad to hear you have the 3.73 gears though. I'm a total advocate of that gear. However, with my automatic, I'd get at least a .5 second jump on your manual. Big Smiles, but Kudos none-the-less.
I bought a base put steeda suspension and sway bars and updated the radio to the 8 inch easy
Im with you bro i have a 2016 race red with just the black accent package only. You buy a Mustang for performance not luxury.
Oh ur from Houston, Tx *new sub*
Robert Santana yessir! Appreciate that man!
I'm picking up one in a few weeks as well, 2016 is base but there is 2017 premium so I might go for that its jst 3k extra. I'll see tho ( H town in the building )
@@Ocaya_Taban same bouta go get 1 in like a week or 2
I have an EcoBoost premium. I really enjoy all the extras that come with the premium option especially the large touch screen that works with Android Auto.
I agree, if your buying used I would 100% go for the premium car, so much value for not that much more money!
Which one is it that comes w the active exhaust option ? And which one can you use for the active aftermarket exhaust ?
SICK RIMS
I got a 2022 GT premium and did not know there was a premiumest with magniride suspension, heated steering wheel, memory seats, digital dash, PP premium option with oil pressure and vacuum gauges, bigger radiator, upgraded sway bars, etc. Apparently my premium is not premium enough lol. I think if I did it over I would have gotten a Mach 1 with 6 speed Tremec PP (if optioned) fully loaded premium.
Do the new-er mustangs have a weak transmission? Many videos point out the fact that the manual version has an older and weak transmission.
I have a 17 401a with everything that I bought brand new, I didn't think I needed all those options but they sure are nice as a daily driver and fifty miles back and fourth to work
Same here bro, 17 gt PP, premium, 401a, no recaro and no adaptive cruise. I love it, especially the 13 speaker shaker, so much bass and sounds so clear.
Did you skip the part about the interior lighting? I didn't see it.
What wheels are those? And what size?
Bought a 2017 GT Premium a few weeks ago love it. I’m in Houston as well!
I am buying mine this week hopefully
You won’t regret it they are super light and fast
@@germannava8580 the test drive Confirms super fast is very accurate
@@Island-RC you going to end up getting it?
@@germannava8580 I have a meeting on Saturday with the finance guru and if all goes well I leave with the racing red gt premium 6 speed from 2017.
Drove the 2021 gt with all the options brand new at twice the price and I really don't see what all the fuss is about on the 10 speed.
Post your wheel specs they look awesome
Got my 2017 GT Premium with Performance Pack and 401A with Ruby Red paint and Painted Black Roof for $30,000 with only 5,500 miles. The previous owner also had the $1600 Ford performance by Borla cat back installed.
Only issue is now I have a super loud tick that increases with RPM like the so called 2k rattle, embarrassingly loud so I brought it to the dealer and the tech says the noise seems to go away when he deactivates cylinder #3 so now they want it for "a few weeks" on November 25th..... here we go.
Did they fix the tick?
So mine has an android screen that takes up the whole center basically. My mode button switches the music mode from aux, radio , whatever. Should it be doing that. And mine doesn’t have leather seats
Lol, I'm a girl 5'2...thank you for an awesome insight 💙
can you buy a base GT and add the performance package just for the improved driving dynamics?
It's Def worth the money for the PP1. What you are showing is the PP2 I believe. You get a bigger Rad/Better cooling, Staggered wheel's/Bigger wheel's and tire's, But most importantly (The 373's Rear/gearing which are the star of the show), better brakes and handling too. Beefier sway bar along with a Strut Brace, And it matter's...
It is so weird being the only car on the road when they shut them down
This video makes me miss my 15 ecoboost premium. I had just about everything on it except gps and the performance package. Really great car. As far as I know, the mustang is the only one, one of the only cars, with heated and cooled seats. Others might have ventilated seats, but not cooled seats. Always felt like I was sitting in a cold puddle though, lol. I love leather seats. Get them in any car I have. I build up a stupid amount of static electricity, especially in the winter, and for whatever reason, leather seats don’t do that for me. Wish I could’ve kept that car. 😩 Whoever bought it definitely got a good deal.
What’s your thoughts about the rotary gear shifter? I’m not a fan of them at all.
That’s awesome! Yeah it’s definitely a super nice place to sit. Makes it feel like a lot more expensive car. As far as the shifter in the new gt500, I kinda dig it. The gt500 has always been a special car and should have some special quirks, I imagine a manual version will pop up eventually, but that dual clutch on paper looks pretty stout!
Brothers On Wheels Wow I’m surprised! It seems weird to turn a knob instead of shifting back to drive. Maybe it’s not as weird to use as it looks, lol. I can’t drive a stick shift, so automatic is my only option. If I ever get another chance to own a mustang, I definitely look forward to it. I had a lot of fun with that car!!
You forgot the most important upgrade on a premium model? Brembo brakes. Which are excellent. imo.
What wheels are those?
My lil brother’s 2019 Ecoboost premium came with the digital dash
Lucky
I’m about to buy a 2018 gt pp. I hate leather as I live in Vegas and it’s 100 degrees half the year. The only thing I wish they offered was cloth with the 8” screen but it’s pretty easy to swap it for 3-500$. Along with upgrading the sound
J C- Yep probably some great discounts on the leftover 2019 New Base GT cars with cloth so better in that climate. Nice with manual and cloth and other stuff unnecessary. A base GT with the PP1 option package and manual is Best Buy. Less tech means less maintenance and repairs because it’s the electrical and software tech that causes most issues later on.
They do offer that. It’s the 301a package on the base models I’m pretty sure.
If you have a nice window tint and use the cooled seats it really isn’t bad during the hot weather. I do get what you’re saying though.
I didnt notice blind spot monitors on that car my premium performance has them
@brothersonwheels have you drove a Genesis coupe 3.8
I’m a rookie with mustangs! Is there any engine difference between gt 5.0 and s550 or its same?
Damn I don’t care for the sound system I’d just like to have leather cooling and heated seats that’s all smh but like you said it’s better to get the premium if getting used car ..... prices high so I’m waiting for it to go down
I saw the Premium Package as just more things to go wrong. A buddy has a 2015 Premium and his puddle lamps aren't ponies anymore - they're just amorphous blobs of light. The leather is not of very good quality. I compared my buddies' leather to the leather in my 2004 Tiburon and .... the Tiburon is thicker material, softer and just feels better. His seats are already starting to come apart while the Tib being 16-years old and a quarter million kilometers later has one split seam.
SatNav is pointless if you're like me and live in a rural area and I did not see the value in the satellite radio either. Not to mention, what happens when Ford decides to change the way the satellite works or something like that? Now your fancy radio is useless.
I actually eschewed the Performance Pack, though occasionally I do regret that. My reason being my car will never see the track, and I don't want to have to pay MORE for coolant changes or brake replacement. I should have taken the 3.73 Torsen upgrade..... my dealer offered it to me for FREE as the factory had a surplus but....
I still think I got a win as mine is a 2016. I got my Deep Impact Blue which was NOT an extra-cost color in '16, and my groovy 1-year-only hood turn signals basically for free, since there was no price hike from '15 to '16.
I also don’t see the sway bar under the hood, the Brembro brakes. Mine has all of those? Also does yours have the sub woofer in the trunk? 🤔
I could be wrong but I think the sway bar came in the later models, you can fit it on this one. The sub in the trunk is part of the premium sound system and I know the bullitt comes with brembos so maybe performance pack or aftermarket
I went with a used 2015 Mustang GT due to it have less than 9,000 miles. The premium is cool, but if you’re going to mod it out, I don’t think the price is worth it...
In my opinion, the 2020 Mustang GT-P is WAY worth the price if ONLY for the digital dash. That thing is killer and I absolutely love it. If you went to get the aftermarket one, its $2k. So maybe you dont care about a bigger stereo screen or leather seats and you wanna do the dash on your own. Either or.
You mean NOT worth the price. You could save the 5-7k that the dealers markup for a premium and just buy the $1500 aftermarket screen. User 2018 premiums are like 35k or more vs the base model at 26-28k rn
Thats the whole reason why I would choose gt premium over the base gt because of the dash man that thing is awesome
1.36sec you do a pull and just pop her in neutral, no shade just isn’t that bad for the car?
Do you get a heads up display with these?
Yo bro I just got my Mustang on the dash it’s states truck only what does that mean?
I’m not a gadget and gizmo guy. My 3 Mustangs were all base. The 08 had no option the 13 just had brembo brake package and the 16 had just the performance pack.
Greg Piercy and with all the tech you get on a base s550, I feel like that is the perfect spec car!
There’s no need for the whole screen and digital dash. If you’re getting a mustang, it’s because of the amazing coyote engine and how fun it is to drive. You guys will save thousands of you just get a base. Plus with those thousands saved you can do after market stuff. Exhaust have to be changed too, so don’t get active exhaust, it’s a waste of money.
Nah I like having the nice interior. No way in hell I’d buy a bass unless it was a V6. And the base screen looks disgusting. Looks like it came out of a car from 1999, rather then a brand new car.
Whenever I see an 18-20 Mustang it makes my blood boil. Look at how sexy this model looked before the refresh.
Yup, the new ones look so much worse. The headlights look droopy and the weird fins on the front bumper look terrible. 15-17 was way better.
They both look just as good in my opinion
They look pretty much the same. Get over it
@@MrMich1lol No they don't. Maybe the rear end, but the front end is COMPLETELY different between the two cars.
I think hes related to Jason Garrett 👏👏👏👏👏
Do all premiums come with forward collision detection and blind spot monitoring? Or is that a separate option
Its separate
I lol
What year is are these cars? Appear to be 2017 or older
I went with a 19 gt with the pp2 with non of the premium interior stuff. I never used the luxury stuff in my challenger so they were a waste for me.
That's how my 2019.5 Mustang GT 5.0 6 sp. PP1 came none of the luxury interior stuff, with the exception of the satellite radio it has that, along with everything else all on the outside of the car.
Bro you're jacked
I'd get the base with the 301a package. I, too, am not a fan of leather seats (you really do have to take care of them, or they'll crack in about 4 years).
Naw, I got mine in september 2016 and my leather still looks like its brand new and I dont eve treat it. Mind you it only has 30k kms on it.
LOL,,,I only buy with leather because it lasts so much longer with very little care needed.
5 grand for lots of stuff but the only thing I really like is the bigger screen. Thats the problem with packages! You get a few things you want but then a bunch of crap you don't but it all adds up. /You can buy an aftermarket screen from sony for probably a grand.
I'm sure you can get one waaaay cheaper for a mustang. But what do i know, I swapped my stock stereo to a touchsreen on my honda civic for $350. Included the new stereo, the new molded dash mount, cables, rear camera, etc
What does the mustang gt 2015 premium 2rd fastback mean
What song is at the beginning??
Wheels between base and pp1 or pp2 are different and in the manual seats i can't lower the seats as much asmin the electric seats
Getting my first gt next year. Should I get a premium 2017 GT or a base model 2018 GT??? (I’m looking for all out performance btw, and I heard 10 speed is insane)
No performance differences in year.
Go with the premium. That one year difference won’t be noticeable, but the premium pack will be.
2018 gt has more horsepower
Any updates did you get it
