Default 5.0 Base Interior Picture?

Looks like the base 2011 Mustang GT is all I will be able to afford; does anybody have a picture of the base interior? I can't seem to find one online.

I realize the premium interior is a lot nicer... but does anyone have an opinion on how the base interior is, comparable to other cars in the same price range?

I have a base and its not a bad look the only complaint I have is the
Base steering wheel is plastic...I want to get a leather wrap or something
For it.

Otherwise, I can't complain. I don't think you'll spend much time gazing at the
Interior when you're hitting 60 in 4 seconds:-)

+1 ^^^ I have the base as well, the cloth is very nice my only complaint is also the steering wheel. My plan is to buy a replacement leather one from FRPP soon though. I will post some pics when I get home from work and can take some.

Well, if I had to narrow it down, I'm most concerned with 1) the wheel, 2) dashboard materials, and 3) the cloth seats. I can't find a decent picture of the cloth seats online anywhere; in Ford's catalog the picture is too small.

I test drove a premium model a while back and loved the car and the interior, especially the nice thick steering wheel, but haven't had a chance to sit in a base model yet.

Ok. I was going to take some at lunch but I had to run an errand. I think my account may be too new to post pics anyway. This is my first mustang so I'd never been on any mustang boards til now.

Awesome; how are you liking the car? More importantly, are you satisfied with the base model interior?

The car is fine. Zero complaints. I like it more each day.

The base interior is certainly not as nice as the premium. Since I traded a BMW with the sport option I've come down a step in interior refinement, but it's not a huge let down. I'm perfectly fine with it. For the purpose I have in mind for this car, it's perfect.

The dash materials aren't an issue..it has the same soft touch dash/plastic as the premium, just a darker shade on the paneling. So the dash is very nice...biggest issue is the steering wheel.
