Default 2014 GT Initial thoughts. . .

Hello! I've already posted my announcement about recently taking delivery of this 2014 GT in Grabber Blue, and I am really enjoying the car. I've been dreaming of getting it since 2009. Part of me is glad that it was not the right time back then because what I have now, IMHO, is the prettiest and most finished design of this 5th gen. body-style before the change for 2015. I wanted to post my pros and cons here and maybe get some feedback if there maybe is a way to fix the cons. . .
BTW. . .Why can't I upload pics on the forum? I had to use a pic site and copy/paste the links to the images.

PROS:
  • Great ergonomics
  • elegant and classic styling
  • 5.0 sings a sweet tune (even with factory equip.)
  • Fantastic performance for the money
  • Love the Grabber Blue/white striping
  • Instrumentation has a classic and clean look
  • "My color" feature is fun to play with
  • Interior ambient lighting settings
  • Track apps and other features
  • Trunk space is nice for a sports car
  • Interior sound (of engine/exhaust)

CONS:
  • Emergency Brake in awkward position (should be on other side of stick)
  • Center storage console button (chrome) located where elbow rests and sometimes
    releases the top if you rest it just right.
  • Seats don't go back to original position after folding forward (need to readjust)
  • Rear view mirror cord is visible and not finished well
  • Rear window defogger contacts are exposed vs. hidden and get in the way when wiping inside of rear glass
  • Standard radio display does not show artist and title of tracks

Good write up but I have to say, for the car that you have those are some very minimal cons my man. Any future plans for her?

I was happy to see only a handful of cons! Pretty minor stuff. Sport cars are always that way!

Like the color. So your don't like the E-Brake because it's too close? Looks like it'd be easy access for some amateur drifting. LOL

Center console bugs me too, sometimes I hit the button to open it and its like nope don't want to open sorry.

Radio is a bit picky, if your going off Bluetooth it will not display anything. If you plugin and play from a USB cable it will show the artist/album. Not sure why it won't on Bluetooth kinda annoying but its how it works.

Seats never really bothered me I just do everything from passenger side they can deal with it.
