Considering an upgrade
The dealer wants to upgrade me from a 2013 vert to a 2015 premium vert. The look of the 2015's are growing on me, and would like to hear from those who have made the upgrade from the 2010-2014 model to the 2015.

"I daily drive a 2012 v6 and traded up to a GT So I can't give an honest apples to apples comparison. Interior in the new car is incredible. Ride is incredible. Power is about the same as the outgoing model. Not a bad thing. I'm trading a 2011 Camaro SS for the new stang and the 2015 mustang has it all over my SS!

From a post I made elsewhere:
Picked up a yellow GT (premium with performance pack) and just wanted to post my initial impressions and a bit of comparison to my '12 (equally equipped).
The positive
The interior of the '15 feels a bit more solid initially. My '12 only had 29k miles but had a couple rattles inside (chrome bezel around tach and glove box).
The cooled seats were awesome. Black interior and 90° temps makes for some nasty naughty bits in a hurry but I actually had the seat on the lowest setting and it was perfect.
The display between the gauges has all kinds of data, pretty cool.
Moving the sub to the trunk vice the doors freed up a considerable amount of legroom.
I like the new reverse lockout.
The negative
Absolutely hate the shifter. They say it is shorter throw but it protrudes further up and isnt as ergonomically positioned as it was in the '12.
The ride is so mushy. Granted I've been driving on an Eibach Pro Kit for the last three years but they were almost identical to the stock springs. Springs werent in stock today so I'm in a waiting pattern for that (cant believe people say this car has a stiff ride)
The blind spot indicators are nice but I'd rather have the fish eye from the '12's side view mirrors.
Doesnt pull nearly as hard in 2nd gear compared to the '12 (both had 3.73s) according to the butt dyno. Had 285 Pilot Sport 3s on the '12 and was always right on the edge of breaking loose but the '15 isnt anywhere close in that regard.
It feels heavy, almost lethargic. Maybe it's just because it's more planted but it doesnt feel like a Mustang. That could be a good thing, I just dont know yet.
Clutch engagement is literally all the way out with a tiny window. Why even bother with a clutch at this rate?
At this point, it feels like a sidegrade vice an upgrade. I got more luxury items (always nice) but lost the raw visceral feel of the '12.
