Default Question about ride quality of 2010 or later Mustang?

How everyone, not a Mustang owner yet. I was wondering if there were any comments on the ride quality of a 2010 or later Mustang with the performance package (I think its called the track package)? Is it descent? I don't expect a super smooth ride, but I would like to use it as a DD. Specifically, I'm looking at getting a 2011 Mustang V6.

Also on a separate note, how does the leather hold up over time? My experience with leather so far has been one positive (2004 Infiniti M45) and negative (1997 Acura CL). Not sure if I should go with leather or not, but I really like the look of the Saddle colored leather.

Thanks alot in advance!

I have a 2010 GT with the track pack and the ride is fine, the roads here in MI r horrible and I put 20's on mine to boot. But all in all the rides surprisingly good. My leathers holding up like new, but I do only have 1400 miles on it, so it should look like new I would hope.

I have a 2008 and have logged 50,000 miles with my butt in the driver's seat. My leather still looks excellent. I've got a 2 hour commute each way (that's 4 hours/day), so I'm often drinking coffee and eating snacks in the car. My seats would look horrible by now if they were cloth. The leather hasn't stained a bit and has shown no wear.

I don't have a trackpack car but i do have the 2010. Ride is very nice from the factory. i have 20k miles on my car and the leather...well, it has held up about as well as my other Ford cars with leather. They have actually already replaced the drivers side leather as it was peeling like a snake-skin.
