What are your thoughts on the interior of the S650? Specifically the screens

[smurfslayer]

I would have purchased the PP if it came with ALL-SEASONED TIRES?
Here in Colorado,Wyoming etc.where the colder weather is the norm.Those Summer Tires are usless in the Colder weather.

Honestly, Ford cannot win here. If they did this, the Mustang buyers who live in climates where humans were meant to live would be whining and crying ‘why doesn’t PP come with Pilot Cup or Trofeos?’

I do think it would be nice if they offered tire options - not size, just wear/stickiness - like PS4 or Trofeos instead.

I have had my 2025 GT Premium for a month now and the updated interior with the huge wrap-a-round display was one the major selling points for me. Although I am 75, the new technology really thrills me and all the info at a finger tip away. Love the different gauge selections, color selections, and overall look. I am coming off 4 Corvette's and a BMW in the last 10 years, but hadn't looked at the new Mustangs until a couple of months ago and was overwhelmed with the looks and the performance, especially the performance exhaust, engine and raw power. So much that I traded-in the BMW and brought it home with me.

I was on the fence.
After adjusting to the New Screen design I wouldn’t want to go back to the Basics Design.
I think it’s its Cool .
You have to admit the older version of Vehicle's dash is pretty sad looking.
I think the 2024 GT Dash looks pretty cool with the ability to change the background lighting to 28 different colors.
Also,
Being able to change the design of the screen for Track, Cobra, Clam, etc. is something very different & Fun to mess around with.
There’s a lot of information on the screen.
You have a choice of what you want to use or don’t.
It may become overwhelming & lose focus on driving, but you gotta keep your eyes on the road not on the dash.
Can’t please everyone, it is what it is

You've got clam? Has your wife seen it? How do you get it?

Best thing I did in the interior was the matte screen protectors I bought from LMR. Easy install if you're a reader and take your time.
As a pilot (retired) I'm an anti glare fanatic. Just wish Ford would have wrapped the hood in matte black like my GM did on my 1LE Camaro.

Ehh, they (it, yeah right two monitors - although that’s both a positive and a negative). When driver dash is it’s own it should at least use something that has zero question / expense to repair when eventually dies from old age (read mechanical speed and tach) the rest can be digital but gotta musta havea no doubta it will still be good 75 years from now (not that it hast to last that long but that it’ll take that long). As long as the driver is able to see how fast they that is them thinks he/she/it’s going that’s all thats needed, the rest is for fun/perk. Oh yeah move seat and ac controls out of the screen like you do in the lariat, that’s two screens which works for what it does. Yeah do that console drivers dash and center screen/console into the mustang instead of the two screens one bezel tablet(s) we have now. But maybe will feel different a year from now but for today as in right now this here moment.

I hate the touch/screen controls VAG do, but the Mustang system works. It's easy to adjust climate, most other stuff I need has buttons.
The only thing that's a bit of a PIA is switching to FM after AA connects.

Do you use fingertip or knuckle to touch the screen?

The car is in the garage and the screen is in the car. It is what it is. I enjoy driving the car or I wouldn't have bought it. Not hard for me to rationalize. I've never owned a perfect car.

I'm not even sure my FM works. I don't think I've ever user it. It's either Serious XM or something on my phone for me.

Yeah, we're a bit backward down here. I don't listen to Jock radio, but my wife likes to get the news.

One of the problems with xm, It’s not a road trip/drive until you flip the tape. Listen to a station until the same jokes/song list begin repeating.

Agree with VAG.
Wifey has a 24 Atlas, nice car BTW, and the screens are ridiculous. For example, pressing an icon to turn something on, turns the icon blue. Except when pressing an icon like Climate Control, and others, where a blue icon means off.... Took me a while to figure that out.
Simple stuff like "change the clock time" is buried in a place you would never think to look.
Wifey has an SE/4Motion with Tech which is a midline model so maybe the higher level trims have a better, more logical display?

Once set up, it's reasonably easy to use but the Mustang is much, much better IMHO.

Our Skoda is top spec for the model, but later cars are worse with haptic controls. Every VAG car I've had has had glitches of some sort.

Anyone notice the shape of the dashboard on the passenger side resembles the Ford GT?

 

[wesg79]

the only real perk to digital is being able to change up the gauges, although id prefer some nice analog gauges

would be nice to say, add a digital speed to the fox body ones, since the metric foxbody markers are in such weird spots

hvac has an auto button and seldom needs adjusting for me, and id take screens over the sea of plastic tupperware buttons some model had, would prefer a healthy mix though, not all screen.
