This is the true key about all those electronic gadgets - they can break, require fuses - these can blow out - they can require sensors, they can go out - and they all weigh something; the box they sit in, the wiring harness. It all adds up. That was the biggest (and about only other than underpowered) complaint about my bimmer - GD sensors and fuses and electricial issues.. The engine, hell it was stronger than the day I got it, seemed like. Electronics? Not so much..


If the windows went down from my remote, that'd be all good can't disagree there, but it isn't necessary. It's a luxury item, maybe in a package it could be added? Weight, and reducing that is key for a 2+2 like the Mustang, especially in the 05 and up models.

I would have liked them to design the engine so the headers were easier to change. Mustangs are probably the #1modded car and they should have known people would want to change the headers without it being a major deal

Why must I turn my cruise control on every time I start my car?

A light in the glove compartment. I dunno why there isn't one, maybe an oversight on the engineer's part but my 97 camry had one.

I think it's funny that they offered the silly mycolor instrument cluster, but didn't include automatic lights, which had been on other fords for years...

I do actually LIKE the cupholders tho... being able to sink a large coffee into that big cupholder so it doesn't get in my way is nice.

I would have liked inside/outside tempurature... again, something available on other fords for years.

Tie down points in the trunk. only the euro cars seem to do this. it's so nice to be able to strap/bungie down a heavy item in the trunk so it won't be flying around if you drive like a manaic.

2011's do have auto lights, and im sure the 2013'+s do too now, along with HID's stock.

Couple more complaint i have :

1. How the rev limiter works.. it seems to cut power for a bit too long for my taste.

2. The trunk floor material seems to be like 1/8th inch cardboard, its too weak and break if you put anything heavy in the trunk.

I literally drove all the way across town one night with my bright white LED dome light on because the broad didn't have time to put on her makeup LOL

I believe the 05's had the auto roll down feature.

I hate automatic headlights.

How about this

A "curtosy light" in the rear of the cabin like the classics had. It's like looking into a black hole back there.
