The seats have electric memory.  They slide all the way back when the car is off and slide back forward to your set place when the car starts - or something like that.  I forgot the exact details.

My 2015 GT started the production process yesterday.  I expect to get it late next week...I hope, I hope.

Thats a really nice feature!   Im still trying to gey my power van seats perfect...LOL   

My '13 F150 has that feature and lemmetellya, with my hip-bone issues that's a real handy feature.  It can easily be disabled if not desired. 

The older I get, the more creature comfort bells and whistles I require...wonder if I could incorporate those into the 'stang?   Hmmmm.

   Does your 2013 have the 5.0 BB?   Do you like the performance?

My 2013 has a v6-6speed-performance suspension-Recaro seats.  It handles very well, is quiet, gets 29mpg on the hiway, is very comfortable, and is really fast for a DD.  However, after several months of me driving it, my wife told me to get a new one with an automatic so she can drive it too - she can but won't drive a stick. 
So, I waited for the 2015 to get the IRS.  This time I cut for the 5.0 because a Mustang is not a Mustang without a v8.  The performance suspension is a little too stiff for me at my advanced age:-) (it is not available with a v8/auto), and the seats in the '15 are good enough that I don't need the Recaros - even though I love them.
Anyone looking for a low mileage 2013 Mustang?

3.5 twin-turbo Ecoboost...and I love the performance.  Pulls like a small diesel.  420 lb. ft. @ 2500.

Re: The 2015 came in today!

The memory seats are an option on the 2015 GT and they only come as part of a package that I did not see the need to buy.  I had to keep the price down and I did not want the side warning and crash avoidance red lights flashing in my face like they do on Sherry's MKZ.  I cannot back the MKZ out of the garage without a symphony of various warning bells going off.  I hate that!  Plus did not want the sensor buttons in the bumper.  I did get the big backup camera screen.  Now THAT is handy.  I wish they put one in front aimed so I could see the parking bumpers when pulling into a parking spot.  Maybe Bullet can figure out how to make a front camera play into that big screen for me. You could sell a ton of those!
I will likely unplug the seat's adjustment wires to keep the clowns at the car wash from messing with the seat when they vacuum the car.  Since I am the only driver, it only needs one setting.

Actually, I had the right side view camera on our travel trailer feeding into the backup screen on the new F150.  But, it would switch to the truck rearview camera when I went to reverse...not much help.  Before I figured how to make it all work we sold the trailer.

I think  you can feed vid into the navi screen through a aux vid input in the console...at least our's does.  In that case you just need a 12v camera and some hook up stuff.  I have a spare but may use it on the new trailer once I figure how to do it.  Butt (TS&T) they ain't real pricey...Google it.  Mine are wireless but you can get them either way.

They changed the front plate law in Texas last year. Now if you drive past a grumpy LEO without a front plate you could be out $200. I guess it depends on how important style is to you.
