In addition to the slick new interior decor, the new Mustang has the industry's first color-changeable instrument panel display, with 125 color schemes to choose from. It's easy to use, it's spectacular, and it works beautifully to brighten up your day, and especially your night, as you drive. And, speaking of brightening, there is more shiny metal on the interior, including the vent rings, steering wheel spokes and other bits, and on sunny days, that can cause some vision and glare problems for the driver.
We found the front bucket seats to be comfortable, supportive and retentive in hard corners, and in general, the interior looks like it belongs in a much more expensive car. There is an interior upgrade package that adds red leather seats, red door inserts and red floor mats on cars with appropriate exterior colors. Another package adds real aluminum trim to the interior for one more customization step.
The basic sound system that comes with the car is pretty darn good, but in this day and age of pervasive music, there has to be more, more wattage, more speakers, more power. To back that up, Ford offers not one but two optional AM/FM/CD changer systems, one with 500 watts, and one with, are you ready? 1000 watts of power, both systems with subwoofers in the doors, and the 1000-watter with two more subwoofers in the trunk.
