See... I am kinda leaning the same way. It seems like most of the premium stuff is all stuff I could change later anyway and actually have some fun picking the stuff out and putting it on. I am kinda leaning towards base and picking my own steering wheel, shifter ****, door insert, dash panel, etc out at a later date.

Drive both cars before making your decision. All the goodies are well worth the premium price, and it'll help with resale value. My friend's GT is a base interior and it feels like driving an entirely different vehicle. I guess I don't see any reason to skimp on the interior when it's where you sit 100% of the time you're driving.
Resale value... not the $3K you spend on the Premium package.
My 2c.

im not knocking you for wanting a base over a premium, but "wait till the power seat needs replacement"? lol C'mon thats a stretch, my current car is 11 years old and the seat motor is still going strong

I just don't see the need for power this and that that gets used once or twice a month. Honestly, how often do you adjust your seat? And do you really need power to do it?
Some people like this sort of stuff and there is nothing wrong with that. I'm not one of them. Ford did not give me the option on my '08.

If I could have ordered one with manual windows, I would. I have replaced a few window motors in the past and it wasn't fun. Maybe these will hold up longer.

if you guys like it thats cool too. i guess in the end there are ppl that want/need all that stuff and there are ppl like us happy with the base model.

I noticed the local dealer has a couple new 2010s on the lot... one loaded up GT manual and a base V6 auto. I may have to go look at and see how they do the seat on the V6. I like the other little trim niceties that came with the preimium package, but I considered powered seats a must have. If I can get past that, it might save me some bucks next time.

The ones with memory are useful though if it gets moved, too bad that's not an option at all, that would be worth it.
btw: all '05+ driver side seats are height adjustable

power seats are about as useful as a power clove compartment door! I adjusted my seat once or twice the week I got my car and haven't touched it since..

If your dealer can find a way to get it done on a retail car (Its supposed to be a fleet option)....
18R Driver Ornamentation Package is the Leather Steering Wheel and Shift **** from the Premium for $195 MSRP.
Base Cloth Seats - 2007 GT Deluxe
Driver Side - Power Slide / Power Tilt / Manual Recline
Passenger Side - Manual Slide / Manual Recline
I think the 2010/2011 is the same way but I would confirm.

When I ordered my GT, I asked the Fleet Mgr if I could get the 18R and he said no. He also said that even if I did, it would delay my order since they only do fleet orders at certain times of the year. Not sure if true or not?
