The current-generation Mustang has better seats than ever before, with longer travel, and seatbelts are attached to the seat frames so they move with them. All models feature reclining bucket seats. Leather upholstery is standard in the Premium GT, optional in some other models. Running horses embossed on the upper portions of the seat backrests recall the deluxe "pony" interior of the mid-Sixties. The instrument panel, center console and headliner are color-keyed.For 2001, Ford has redesigned the center console, repositioned the front cupholder, made the rear cupholder larger, while adding a tissue holder and a power outlet. An electric rear window defroster, previously optional, is now standard on all Mustangs. The coupe interior is cozy, with enough seat-track length to accommodate tall drivers and just enough elbowroom to keep from feeling cramped. The Mustang's back seat is small, with only enough room for small objects or kids. The trunk is small with an even smaller opening. A split fold-down rear seat is standard on all models and handy for hauling cargo. An 80-watt premium sound system with both CD and cassette capability comes standard on all models. Serious sound fans can opt for the 230-watt, 10-speaker Mach 460 system, which comes standard in Premium-trim Mustangs and Mustang GTs, and is a $550 option in Deluxe models. For 2001, it can be ordered with an in-dash, six-CD changer.
