I personally have a 2013 GT Premium w/ Recaro Seats. & OEM Factory Touchscreen. But all in all my opinion the lights inside the cabin is the main reason why I wanted the premium. It’s a whole vibe.

[@ATVega]

I came from a 2015 Ecoboost that I fully customized even down to the full body wrap. Full bolt on car. It was a base model. I've always thought about going back to the s197 in a Coyote. Ever since 2013 I wanted one. Finally a few months ago after a long search I found the one with the trim and features I wanted. A 2014 Sterling Gray Track Pack Premium with the leather Recaro seats and MT-82. Since then I've already started doing some work. Went with a MGW X-Spec shifter, JLT Series 2 CAI, Lund NGuage Tune so far. Threw on my Niche Targa Wheels and did some exhaust work. Plan on upgrading the Clutch and Clutch line asap. The car had bad lockout and clutch pedal getting stuck at high RPMs. The shifter has helped some but it didn't eliminate the issue. I've never had a Premium car before and I feel like these cars will be sought after more in the future. The s550 is numb in comparison to the s197 and i prefer the drivers car experience. No regrets here.

[@NissanTy]

I have a 2013 base car and all honesty its all I need. The premium would've been nice but with all the extras is added weight to the car IMO

[@Ricdelreal]

Love my 2014 premium Track Pack, now at 95k miles. I'm glad I waited months for that combo when I bought new.if you're keeping it long term, its definitely worth getting all the bells and whistles, it would have bothered me to be missing so many little details.

[@JimS870]

[@billmcmeekin7909]

I agree. Recaro seats are sooo comfortable! When I bought my Boss, I was sceptical, as their isn't much adjustability. But they truly work ergonomically for a 6'2 fella :⁠-⁠)

[@bardstables8909]

I just bought a 20' GT premium. Sync 3 and I love everything about it. I optioned it out with the PP1, magna ride, exhaust, tech package and all that. Mainly because I didn't want any regrets after taking delivery. I do plan on customizing, but I wanted to customize what was important to me. Not the seats and so on. The B&O soundsystem is amazing with the sub in the trunk, heated and cooled seats and digital instrument cluster. The showstopper red interior goes great with the all black exterior. Anyone interested can keep up with my mods on my channel. Would love some ideas from people.

[@braidenspangler3197]

I have a premium 2011, I think it was worth the extra money. It’s nice to have Bluetooth and leather, the my color is a big plus too. Go for the premium it’s worth it.

[@wartortilla2819]

I used to have a 14’ GT Premium and now have a 20’ GT350. You forgot about the fact the 14’ premiums have the pony puddle light. And that, as silly as it is, is a cool feature. Also, with the heated seats, that’s an issue. You need to get them fixed. Mine went from perfect>warm>cool>inferno that’s a common issue apparently. I loved that car.

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

Hey Jacob! When I got my performance white 13 GT it already had the premium package, but I got a good deal on mine when I purchased it at the time including the 6 piston brembos. Pretty happy with it. Good video with great tips buddy. 😎👊👍

[@robertbundy3769]

I own a 2012 GT premium with the performance package.It has the 19” wheels with the Brembo 4-piston front brake calipers and the 3.73 Torsen limited slip rear differential.It also has the electronics package with the nav screen and the special black leather seats with the white stripes going down the middle.It also has the stitched leather door panel inserts with the chrome ponies and the stainless ball shifter knob.The only option it doesn’t have is the panoramic glass roof,which is fine by me,because i live in central Florida and my car has a black interior,so it gets hot enough inside the car in the summertime! To me personally,these options make the car!

[@MrCarfreak90]

I have a sterling grey 2014 base gt with the track pack. When I was looking last year i was wanting a premium but I found my car with only 8k miles and never saw winter so I was sold lol. And i have no regrets. I'm happy with my base.

[@paulm6481]

No matter if you are do it yourself type or not, the premium is the way to go. Factory parts better than cheap Amazon lighting and all the add on features just add so much specialness.

[@jasonsiepierski8487]

It's always a preference but I picked up a 2013 GT 401A package car last year. Live in Buffalo, NY so the heated seats are great in the Fall before the salt hits (then car is garaged). Leather is very nice. Also love the interior my color light zones and the pony projector lamps. Sometimes it's the little things that make a car special. Yes I have tons of interior mods such as the dyna performance carbon fiber and brushed nickle door panel's. Also have cobra jet manifold, stainless works LT headers, X pipe, GT500 exhaust, bmr Lowering springs and panhard bar. Basically an N/A beast. Cams are next big upgrade. A Coyote is a Coyote. Have fun all!

[@dailydrivensvt8724]

i was going for a premium mainly because i was getting a deal on it. but the deal cracked and i ended up with a 13 GT500 fully optioned out lol. and i must say the nav and recaros are definitely worth the buy.

[@paulm6481]

I think the premium also comes with outside puddle lamps that show the pony under mirrors, very cool. When you open door, with premium you also get lighted door sills. Otherwise I think you mostly covered it. So,e GT premium have a different door insert with a chrome pony on side door which matches leather on seats with piping.

[@michaelq3174]

I know this may sound crazy guys. But the premium is SOOOOOOO much better. Like he was saying about the transmission I swear they do something different with the premium va to the plain stock. And of course it’s going to be sluggish doofus it doesn’t have all that after market crap that he has on his. He doesn’t have much at all but it will make a difference regardless. It’s like he’s comparing two completely stock vehicles but he’s not. His moms is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY prettier tho!! B

I got a base, but I also swapped the cluster did the dyna carbon fiber, and my car came with Ricarros so no complains here lol

I got a 2013 Mustang with a glass panoramic roof. Only available on premium models. The running horse puddle lights under the outside mirrors were a bonus.

[@martinabernathy205]

2012 Premium here. First thing I did was replace the speakers. The stock speakers are trash. I'm still using the Sync I system but it is finicky as hell. Probably going to replace it soon. The aluminum dash looks too retro to me so I did the carbon fiber dash pieces. I do like the leather seats and the LED interior lights.

[@0VER.]

Idk what I have lol she came with a boss 302 cluster, GTCS fogs, front brembos & boss 302 Laguna seca rims lol.

[@sheparddoran2366]

Honestly weighing the pros and cons of each models with ultimately led me to choose a boss 302. Getting suede recaros, a suede wrapped steering wheel, brembo's, a boss manifold, better handling and a super unique side exhaust were all nice, but the kicker was the super stout version of the coyote that they come with, which can take much more power than a normal gen 1. Cherry on top is school bus yellow is a boss 302 exclusive color. It should also hold it's value a little better and is kind of more rare, which is fun. The one caveat there is it puts you right in 11-12 gt500 territory, and that makes just as strong of a case, if not stronger. You can get leather recaros, touchscreen, and the glass roof pretty easy if you look hard enough. And finding all 3 on a gt premium is nearly impossible. But if course, you also get a factory supercharged engine with way better torque. AND you get a friggen tr6060. Honestly i do wonder if that would have been a better option, but the boss 302 has always been my favorite, so i almost choose that out of some sense of loyalty. If you care about weight and handling they're on opposite ends of the spectrum, but if you want one that's absolutely loaded and is a better gt car, the gt500 is King daddy.

[@thomaspc0]

I have the base model '13 with tech/sync package. I added the premium gauge cluster, some footwell lighting (which comes with premium too), and a Kicker Hideaway sub behind my seat. Being in Texas, I actually prefer the cloth seats. My last car was leather and let me tell you, they can get H-O-T!. I also prefer the darker dash over the aluminum. So, I pretty much have the options from the premium that I want.

When they are used there really isnt much if any difference between the two models they both sell for aboit the same price. However when new the premium was several thousand dollars higher....wrap your head around that..seems like all that extra money you pay for it new dont even help you down the road since used they sell for about the same price. So let me fix that for you... Premium - idiots Base - smart people who care more about performance and less about keeping up with the jones' I am just kidding but really sync is the only thing i would really wanna have and starting on the 13 you can get that an an otherwise base car which is ideal imo. The base weighs less and has less things that can and will mess up in the future. So acting like the ballers get the premium and poor people get the base is an uneducated thing to say. Ecspecially since used they basically sell for the same price.

Got a 2014 Mustang GT Premium. When I got the car it had just turned three years old from the date it was built. By that time, the price for GT base and GT premium was about the same on the used car market. Might as well go with something that’s a little bit nicer. Also people talking about the nav touch screen and pony puddle lights, those are added packages on the premium. Furthermore, if you got a GT base or GT premium with the stock 18s wheels, you won’t get the strut bar. You only get it if it was optioned up to the 19s. You can find the sales brochure in pdf from Google.

[@spartan1876]

I drive a 11 gt premium. It's got a 6spd manual and 3.73 gears. I bought mine because of the gear ratio mixed with the exhaust engine and transmission. I didn't know it was a premium when I bought it because I couldn't care less if it was a base or not. Only problem I had with it was I didn't know what was done to it. I was told it was tuned and later on working on it I found out that at some point they were in the heads for something. Also it wasn't a brembo package, but I got some powerstop brembos for it and I love them. The reason why I opted for the 3.73s unlike most going for the 3.31s is because I wanted to drag race it not go on a road course. The only mods I can recommend for you and anyone else with or without 3.73s is to replace the upper and lower rear control arms. The stamped steal for them is extremely weak and causes the rear to flex during hard acceleration and a hard launch.

I went base model because i like working on cars, and want to do it myself. Also, and it might be minimal. But i chose base for weight.

[@pdx650]

JRD, Thanks for sharing the differences on these ‘11-‘14 year mustangs. I do like the 5.0 coyote engine and the manual transmission in the GT. The problem with these is that no new buyer knows what the previous owner drove these mustangs like. Hard or light. Safe to assume that there may be some abuse on these cars. And finding an unmolested mustang (stock OEM) would be hard to find as well. I do still want to get one though.

I rather have a base model. I never cared about audio, lights, or leather seats. My enjoyment is in the actual driving experience.

[@houstang2194]

The premium is DEFINITELY worth the money bruh. Imo you'd have the best looking s197 coyote but I have to put you second to Derek and his grabber blue stang, because the the interior lol. Which sucks because I only prefer these cars in black lol.

[@mlrivera565]

How do I know if my Gt is base OR premium? I have a 2011 Gt with greyish leather seats.

[@larrybroad8746]

what power chip do you recommend i have a dablo tuner.

[@newgamer1573]

The premium really is worth it, if you have the navigation, I would used to watch movies on it while I’m taking a lunch👌🏻

[@Young_king888]

How can you watch movies on it?

[@porsi5061]

I found a 2011 premium with 50k miles but hesitant on the price because they want 18.5k for it should I go for it ?

[@TheFoxborrow]

I own a 2013 GT premium with the real pack I think I made the right decision it to have the upgraded 3.73 gears and Boss components that being the oil cooler and over sized radiator and Boss differential. I’m older so I chose the comfort package my seats are black but has a cashmere color stripe. I live in Florida and their worn a bit like your moms even tho garage kept. The door panel on this track pak is nicer than the reg premium, it has the flat leather and the horse emblem. If you compared the track pack to the base I could see the comparison being a bit different. Add on’s on the base is the way to go. One of the videos recently you been eyeing the S550 don’t do it man lol I love the retro and the S550’s I feel just went in a different direction I love the patronage tribute to the old mustang. Anyways newer sub here keep up the good work.

[@d.hayward5232]

Got a premium - prefer leather and love the ambient lighting and MyColor features. Also enjoy modding but everything I do is for performance, not looks. 😎

[@d.hayward5232]

BTW, you forgot to mention the lighted doorsills - another cool feature on the premium cars, LOL. 👍

[@matchboxcody]

Picked up a base 14 GT 6 speed with 3.55s just 2 weeks ago. Got it for 19k with only 50k miles. Premium isn’t really worth it in my case. Only things that I liked that I didn’t get with the base are the leather seats and premium gauge cluster. The Premium cluster is a is an easy swap anyways for stupid cheap. Heated seats, illuminated entry, ambient lighting, sync, etc. just doesn’t interest me. Sync was terrible for those years anyways. Not worth the extra few thousand that people want to mark them up. The original owner also equipped it with a new exhaust and the nice black overlays on the dash so that’s a plus.

[@ghostlightning9434]

Hi got a 13 Sterling gray track pack GT 🔥

[@omarvaldivia5368]

I got one too💯 most beautiful color ever

[@lacrosseguy108]

i got mine a year after it came out, the owner of the used dealership had it as a summer car for a year, i got a gt premium convertible and i love it! i have the red interior/seats and i think ive only ever seen 1 maybe 2 others with the red interior like mine. ive been happy with mine since i got it and been wondering if itll be one i keep for years or trade in for a newer mustang buuuttt i think i might end up keeping it, too much history between me and that car lol. had my old boss wanna "buy" it and ended up trying to steal it, other random ass stories lol

[@OGStoneVegas]

premium 2014 drop 50 was really worth it to me... I went no regrets with this car

[@jeffortman6395]

I have a green 2014 and sometimes 5th gear errcks

[@gunterob]

In my Mustang review I take 5 seconds to tell you that you can only go Premium. It's actually that big of a difference (compared to other vehicles and their respective step-up options).

[@hermanrogers1325]

Look just like my 14 GT pretty car I really like mine can’t wait for 2024 GT I hope they change the style

[@GamerTreasures]

I just got lucky I got a premium. Hadn't intended to buy a mustang, but got a great deal from my customer to buy his. I'm a car salesman and it just kinda worked out. Now I own a 16 focus ST and a 12 Mustang GT. Been happy with the mustang, first one I've owned, had a few tasteful mods.

[@michaelharris748]

Nice choice of cars i have a 16 fiesta st fbo hybrid customed tuned on e30 by pd tuning its prob around 290 whp at 2600 lbs lol...very fun daily and my weekend machine is a 2007 performance white stripe delete gt500. Its bolt ons, 4.10 gears 550 whp etc. So i see we have similar taste in cars. I love my old gt500 it dont got the stuff the newer ones do but that is what i like about it makes it more raw and it has an aftermarket pioneer screen with bluetooth so that helps to update it quite a bit. Outside of that i dont really care about anything else...it does have leather and mycolor and all that crap its a gt500 for Gods sake but it is older lol.

[@alikzimin876]

yohh!! great vid man

[@isaacmartinez2257]

so does the premium package come with the screen on the dash (getting a 2014 premium package)

[@JacobRDoty]

Yep!

[@Thaiyote]

What do you mean by gears?

[@kamata93]

If im not mistaken the only worthwhile difference between the 13 and 14 model had something to do with the gearbox. On the 14 model everybody said how bette tit felt and it shifted way better without locking you out from 2nd to 3rd gear.

[@ponyboy2195]

Funny growing up in the 90s we use to race on a road called Doty road

[@nicholassmith6019]

I guess I like being part of 'communities'. I own a 99' lifted Jeep Cherokee and a 14' Mustang GT. I get 'waved' at a lot.

[@ericgarcia6237]

Just wanted to let you know what is your thoughts on a turbo back Cobb exhaust??

[@michaelharris748]

Go with cpe if they make one for your EcoBoost i have a 3 inch catless dp and 3 inch cpe catback on my fbo hybrid turbo 16 fiesta st and it sounds awesome with this 1.6 EcoBoost i would suggest going with cpe if possible....im sure they make stuff for the mustang ecoboost too. It is aggressive when you want but on the highway the car doesnt drone i was shocked how quiet it is on the highway considering how loud it is when youre on it. Never had an exhaust that loud on anything that didnt drone lol.
