1. Cup holder.
Does a 20 oz coke/pepsi bottle actually fit in the cup holder?
While having one in the cup holder can you still shift or adjust temp. controls or radio?
My cavalier sucks for that.
2. Water shedding.
When you turn on the window washers, do the windshield wipers push the water to the sides and then down your side windows. Is there a little piece of trim or something around the door frame or windshield to prevent this.

I'm just not sure they could turn on the wipers or have a 20oz pepsi with them to test those theories....

When I was shifting I wasn't really paying much attention to the cupholders, but I don't remember them being in the way. I think they were offset just enough to be out of the way.
I couldn't tell you about the wipers, they wouldn't let me have the key.
There was so much I wanted to check out on the car before I got there, and when I saw it, it amazed me so much that I completely forgot everything I wanted to look at.

Almost unbelievable that we're discussing what we can put in the cupholders when the important question is how many quarters will the ashtray hold.

can you say "SCOTCH GUARD"
I had that rule for about 2 years in my new car. And then last summer me and three friends all piled in my car to go to an A's / Giants game. We stopped at a 7-11 to get drinks (drinks were always ok) and candy. We'll if you've ever been to Oakland in the summer, it was a bazillion degrees outside. Luckily for me it was my candy bar that dripped on the cloth seats. but it is very rare that I go thru the drive thru.

well, here's something else to consider since we're talking about 2nd tier stuff: what will we do to keep the blazing sunlight from roasting the interior of the car from the huge fastback rear window. this may sound nit-picky but take it from someone who had an alfa romeo with a rear window very similiar in size and angle to the 05 stang. it will definitely need window tinting or a shade. jackg 90seville 94k

8 positions and general soap will do. Don't use anything basic, or it will react with the acidity of the fluids and create toxic gases. If the smell of the fluids is too overwhelming, use Febreeze.

We've discussed almost every aspect of the new Mustang, I've seen those pics before, and I know there's no ashtray.
Guys, it was a joke.
