Most Annoying Thing...?
One thing that aggravates me is the little lever on the back of the front seats that releases the seat forward.....mine kept coming off. Aaaaggghhh!!!! Nothing a little JB Weld couldn't fix.......but I still get annoyed at them!
I love my car, but the most annoying thing to me is resetting the seat and mirrors every time after my wife drives it. This sounds trivial, but her BMW has memory presets that will automatically adjust the seats/mirrors for each person at the push of a button. Great feature.
So easy to get in her car and push the button for my presets. Wish the Mustang had it.
I wish it had a gear indicator (for the automatic) in the dash, too.

back to the op, i think that the most annoying feature about the car is that i don't like that there is that the speedo's default setting when the lights are off have a very nice white, but when you turn the lights on, you can't have the same white light.
oh, the squeaky stock clutch, not the most fun. good thing there's music and engine roar. lol
+1 to:
- Rear window is hard to clean...I got a good laugh reading that one!
- Cheap rear seatback *****.
- Clunky driveshaft (gonna have to check out that post...)
I'd also like to add:
- Rain/humidity affects the feel of the clutch in BOTH GTs I've oned, although this latest one isn't quite so bad.
- The hiccups that occur while taking off after starting the car up (warm or cold; doesn't seem to matter).
- The computer just generally getting in the way (DBW throttle, delaying RPM drop when engine-breaking, screwing with the idle with the A/C on)
That said, I still can't help loving the car. It's madness; my friends can't understand why I love it, sometimes I don't even understand it, but I just can't help it. I am like a battered housewife: I just keep coming back, even when it does me wrong :-)

BTW Whats up with the trunk release wishes? There's a button on the keychain, good enough for me. God, I remember those horrible days of actually walking to the trunk, putting a key in and turning it, life was sooo hard then! LOL
And for the seat memory option, etc Thats why Ford offers the Lincoln/Mercury line of automobiles!
Wait, I do have one thing to bitch about...on the Shaker 500 stereo, no buttons light up at night, making it impossible to do anything without turning the dome light on! Minor complaint, but is annoying.

r3velation, if you have the mycolor gauge option, you can put your red, blue, and green all on level 5 brightness and then when you turn your lights on, its a really bright white light that looks even better than when the lights are off.
On an automatic I like when one can see what the heck gear you are in on the instrument panel. Dont like having to look down at the frickin shifter to tell if I am in reverse or drive. Guess I should have bought a manual...
I wish the front seat could go back and recline more so I could sleep in the car like I used to in my Toyota. The power seat is worse than an ordinary one in this matter. Right now in order to catch some sleep I need to climb into the passenger seat ( which is a non-power version ). I wish seats were more comfortable. I wish any drink inside the cupholder did not block the manual shifter - most annoying!!! I wish I could see the odometer and other readouts with the door open, instead of the sign please close the door.
PS: and yea, the hiccups driving right after the start - whats up with that?
