All the shakes and rattles!
Halogen headlamps
Stiff shifter
Narrow rimmed steering wheel
17" optional wheels look like they belong on a minivan

I know most of that stuff I can fix with simple aftermarket mods.
Other than that, this car kicks a$$.

However you look at it, the Mustang is built to a price, we have to live with that.
Cant say I agree with that, the bride has a Solara that we give around the same price as my Mustang and the amenities and quality of her car isMILES ahead of the Mustang. But we're both happy and I guess thats all that matters, besides, she cant run a 13 in the 1/4 or do a top fuel burn out either.....

tiny glove box, you can barely put anything in there + no interior trunk release.

Passenger seat too low - resolved by adding spacers
Trunk release - resolved by adding a switch
Telephone pole antenna - resolved cutting it down myself
Hood prop
Throttle response bugged the hell out of me. You know when you're
about to "punch" it, youkind of lean forward to anticipate it...I hated
hanging there for what seemed like forever. Resolved that by getting
a tune.

Lack of trunk release for sure and THAT FREAKIN BUZZ COMING FROM BEHIND BOTH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES!!!

I know, you'd think I'd fix em already?

that's why Toyota is now known for their quality and why an 05-06 Toyota isn't much less than a brand new one.

While I love the design of the S197s, I still think there is room for improvement....such as;


*Too big of gaps between the body panels
*Passenger seat too low
*Hood prop is ancient
*No inside trunk release
*Clutch pedal needs to be longer for short people
*No duals on V6s
*Quality leather seats
