How's everyone feeling about that interior on the 2024?

Atrocious.

I won't buy one because of it, for three reasons:

1. A generic SUV interior doesn't cut it in a ponycar.
2. If I want to look at two giant screens, I'll do it at work.
3. No physical controls for audio and HVAC is a dealbreaker. Touchscreens = no bueno.

Not a fan either.
Glad I got my Ram truck last year, this year it moved to full displays for the dash but not as obvious as what they saddled the Mustang with.
My truck has nice gauges with just the right amount of screens around it and then the center display while huge has what I feel is the right amount of things being buttons.
Wish the Mustang had gone a similar route but this is likely the trend everything is going to

^ agreed

And it's unfortunate. A mustang should be halfway to racecar that's driven on the street. That means actual gages and physical controls.

Not an infotainment center, automatic rev matching, auto parallel park etc. I just want to make the beast with two backsin rip shifts and replace tires.

I've seen in some BMWs you can twirl your finger in the air in front of the screen and the volume turns up. So maybe next is make believe you're steering a wheel and make vroom vroom noises and the car will go and steer  laughingdp

I'm glad I got my '23 Jeep Wrangler for the same reasons. The '24 Wranglers are going to bigger dumb screens and more tech too. I hope accident studies show that these screens are proven to be the distractions that they are and they're abolished and the screen fad dies so we get back to controls we can use by feel.

That interior killed any and all interest I had in the '24+ Mustang. My '15 might be the last one I buy new.  Cry
