Heated seats in my erstwhile BMW 540 sedan was a $500 option, and there were THREE settings, low, medium, and high. As you all know the Mustang comfort package is $595. (IIRC) and has only ONE setting. 'Nuf said. 
PS - I really like the Escape V6. That is all.

For the headlights, the far right option is Auto-on. Turn the switch to that and don't worry about turning your headlights on and off anymore. It's the "EASY" button. hah
A lot of people having been using the FRPP springs on stock shocks/struts. Some people say an adjustable panhard bar is needed, some don't.
I recently ordered the FRPP "K" Springs, but I'm waiting til after install to see if the rearend is too far off center before anything else is ordered.

It seems a bit odd yes...However, if I never get to fully utilize the power (I live in a city, with a cop on every corner) it seems useless. Per my calculations over 5 years it's about $750 in difference between high end/low end. If the engine is fine with 87, there isn't really need for higher octane. It just seems like a waste IMO.

fuel ratings
horsepower=Regular Fuel: 402 @ 6.500, Premium Fuel: 412 @ 6,500
torque=Regular Fuel: 377@4250, Premium Fuel: 390 @ 4,250
why on earth did you buy a GT to save fuel...why didn't you just buy the V6?

The seats in my '07 are great on cold days (not many in Vegas), but thankfully not nearly as hot as what my mother had in her Saturn Vue. Her seat burned a hole in a brand new jacket she had a couple years ago. She switched to the new Escape this summer, we'll see how those seats handle the Iowa winter this year. 
And yeah, my seats are heated both bottom and back. I feel it mostly around my belt from the back, and all over on the bottom. Heated seats rock!

I'm glad I went with the 1.5" K springs over the Ps.

I installed the Roush Rear springs on my car to level it off ... I also bought an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear since on my 2006 it was pretty far off after the same springs. My 2010 is only about 1/8 - 1/4 inch off center AFTER the springs so I didn't bother installing the bar. I'll check it again in a year to see if it has settled and I need the bar.
