Audio controls on my 05' steering wheel would have been nice, like the ones on my 04' Expedition.
Interior trunk release, at least on convertibles (which have no access to trunk from inside) just in case you accidentally lock your keys in the trunk, I Velcro'd one of my old remote fobs inside the center storage for my "quick and dirty" trunk release.

My biggest complaint is the cupholder and the panel that covers it, that just rocks around and doesn't click into place. Put your elbow or forearm on it and it's so unstable.

I have no complaints on the 06. Autolights maybe, but it's not a big deal. I prefer NO truck release on the inside. I keep stuff in the truck that I'd rather not let someone have access to if they broke into the interior.

Since many Mustangs are modded, Ford should have one all-incompassing wiring loom to allow you to install whatever you want. Then, all you would have to do is buy the module, plug it in, and enjoy. That would ensure integrity of the loom as well. I know Ford offers these things, because my Escape has everything.
I put the one-touch top and back window modules in and would like the thermometer and auto-headlights. I like the convertible top control on the BMW -- one touch does everything including locking it down and windows. Sure, this stuff is candy a$$ed, but my wife's Volvo has all the toys and you do get use to them.

Audio controls on steering wheel, hood struts, outside temp and direction, auto locking doors after you start driving instead of having to push the lock button myself. Have to add an aftermarket alarm to get this feature. Windows rolling down by holding unlock button on key fob. Locking fuel door would be nice too.
All things my BMW has, but not available on the 05-09 Mustangs. Glad they did add some of those to the newer mustangs.

I learned to drive a stick in a 1983 Porsche 944. The mustang has a ton more power, but the quality of the car in that Porsche is to that day something I miss. The tranny, the way it cornered, even w/o ABS and power steering. That was one awesome car.
This is more nit picky but in my 09 I cant put anything in the friggin cup holder because if I do it screws up my reach for the stick. I also find myself wishing the interior was better (2010+) quality.
