Ford did a great job with the interior!
The best way to describe the interior is “Refined” and
“Technologically Advanced”. With all the new features that were
put into the new Mustang you might just think you are driving a BMW
or some other form of luxury car. Ford took an already nice interior
and refined it and cleaned it up. The layout is basically the same;
I'll review a few of the new nice changes for you.
Seating:
The overall design of the seats is not
that different. Ford has given a lot of new colors and options when
it comes to the seats. The standard seats come in one solid color and
look exactly like the 05-09 seats. They will be available in Stone,
Charcoal & Saddle (Yes, Saddle color is back!!). The upgraded
seats will feature a leather accent in the middle of the seat. These
will be available in Brick Red w/ Cashmere Accent, Charcoal Black w/
Blue Accent or Charcoal Black w/ Cashmere Accent. Door panel accents
are also an option to match your seats.
Center Console:
The center console was given a very
clean look. The armrest pad was brought flush with the whole console;
it was also given a lock to keep people out. Great place to lock up
your tuner and Ipod. The cup holder is hidden and will flip open; a
throw back to the old ash trays. The cup hold will also have an
option for the accent lighting (Ambient Lighting) that was available
on later model S197s. You will also notice that the interior upgrade
with give you a shift knob similar to the Bullitt knobs.
Entertainment Center!!!:
The Mustang finally got SYNC as an
option! If you are not familiar with this option, Sync lets you use
voice activation to control the stereo, Bluetooth devices (cell
phones included) and almost all portable MP3 players. This is a very
nice feature to have. Navigation system is also an option again w/ an
eight inch screen. This screen will be used for the reverse camera
system that is now an option. Also the AC controls are now
Dual-Zone. Thats right guys and girls... if you passenger is hot and
your cold they can control the “Zone” however they like. Also,
options for heated seats will be available.
Steering Wheel:
Yes the steering wheel is finally
something to really talk about. With the steering wheel you can now
control the SYNC system, stereo and of course cruise control. The
steering wheel also has an option for accent matching leather.
Dash:
The dash was changed but it wasn't
changed. The look stayed true to the 05-09 models just modernized and
cleaned up to match the rest of the car. The gages were pushed back
and set level with the dash. They no longer have the protruding
covers around them. A lot of pieces are still accented with chrome
trim. Another big change are the center AC vents are now square to
match allow for the larger stereo system.
Other options and features:
Shaker systems are back (500 &
100), Premium floor mats feature embroidered Tri-bar Pony logo,
Auto-dimming rear view mirror with compass, HID headlights, Glass
roof (available late 2009); Heated seats, and adjustable electronic
stability control.
