There is a lot of Love for the Mustang on this board (obviously!). We all have real problems with the cars, some serious, and some minor. I thought that if we put them down in writing, others might know a quick fix.

My main two problems are :

1) when you crack the window when it is raining, the water drops straight off the roof onto the armrest / window controls (this REALLY annoys me!)

2) Crappy headlights.

Let's see if anyone else has problems!

 

Yea I never like the water dripping in and the seat wasn't centered on the steering wheel

 

Uncomfortable seats
Ride height

 

I second Brad's and will add driveline slack and a seatbelt that won't retract well.

 

Yeah you would think that if you buy a cobra, they would at least address the seatbelt issue, but even in SVT's they still wont retract well.

 

I concur. Ride height.
poor quality interior.

 

Wooo hoooo! GT member!! :dance: :headbang: :spin:

 

I hate the creaking noise coming from the back of my vert. As for the seats, I like em but I'm sure that's because I had a Jeep Wrangler before this and it beat the crap out of my body. The water on the window controls does stink,hope it's water proof down in there,lol. Other than that I still love her!

 

Material on my 97GT seats is ugly and wears easy.
Headlights
Seatbelts retracting also, I just thought it was because it was older.

 

Main complaint - I don't have one

 

I'm not fond of the hard, flimsy plastic all over the dash.

The fake scoops bother me a little, but they'd look nice if they WERE functional, so they're ok.

 

Interior room. I don't know how anyone above 6' could be comfortable in this car.

 

My only problem is that I have broken window that some hineyhole broke. Oh yeah, and some scratches he/she/they made when they broke into the car.

Other than that, the Mustang is running strong.

 

I would like longer visors on the convertible that could turn up to block the sun. Right now I have to wear a ball cap on sunny days. :notnice:

The open trunk button should be a key on the inside of the glove box instead of a button. :notnice:

Rain coming in bothers me too. :notnice: I just open the rear windows since I have a vert.

I wish that the plastic do-hickies that hold the belts were not there, or easy to remove. The belts dont retract well, and when they do the latch goes through the do-hicky and will not pull forward. :notnice:

The seats are confortable enough. Leather

I would love a boot for the roof that covers the back seats as well. Or one that I know will not blow off at 100mph. Mine has not blown off at 100 mph, but I worry that it will someday.

 

6'1" 225lbs here and the front has ample room for me...now the backseat,well it might as well not be there,lol

 

99' GT, 162K on it, runs & drives like new. One of the best cars I ever owned. Only problem, had 2 coil packs go. Looking forward to putting another 150K+ on my 05.'

 

Inconsistent overall quality. You can get one and never have the first problem, then get another and have all sorts. i guess it alll depends if it was built on Wednesday or Friday.

 

or monday..............if your was built on tuesday or thursday you are probably okay. the seat are comfy enough if you dont take a turn over 20 miles per hour. they just need to take to recaro and get a deal hooked up for the mustang. havent had any real problems with any of my cars. dont like the plastic on the dash and everywhere else..................could be worse. heard GM's plastic stinks more

 

trying to drive in inches of snow, not great mpg, not the finest refined in seats and passenger room but i love my fox(i sold it last week and bought a mach 1)

 

Don't like the stock 5 spd shifter position. feels like you have to reach... I now know why so many people swap them for after-market.

Other than that, I really like about everything on my 04, except the interior looks exactly the same as my 96 did (dated)
