Default If you could change something on the 05 you have

...what would it be now that you have had the car awhile?

I wish they had a white convertible top for us hotter summer states. It might go better too with my white Mustang lettering on the doors. Parchment seems to be a pretty odd color to me for any color Mustang. So why not white???

How about the amount of time it took to get one?

Guess you ordered one? We had our dealer locate the sonic blue one after we test drove a convertible they brought in for us the next day after test driving a used 05 GT they had on the lot. So actually it was the 3rd day after we even looked and first test drove one at a Mustang that we got ours! And that was about mid May 05

there are a few that I can think of (oh don't get me wrong, I still love my Pony), but the one that comes into play most often would be the position of the cupholders. I mean, seriously, anything bigger than a soda can and it's in the way. In an automatic I doubt it's a problem, but in a manual it's inexcusable.

Well they did say this Mustang is a retro car..My 2000 has that same problem, they turned around and fixed it in 02 I think and now they're back to the same crappy design?? lol.... bringing back the good and bad i guess....

ya, the cupholders is another general gripe...good point. Maybe have some holders come out of the dash and then go back in when you're not using them.

You stole the one thing I would change! I agree, when I have a bottle of water in my cup holder, I have to place my hand around the bottle to shift. It sucks, but I still love my pony.
