Another two interior questions for you lucky guys: How bad is the glare from the aluminum strip accross the dashboard???? And how comfortable are the headrests? Every time I look at the interior pics I think the headrest angle looks like it must push your head forward.

In all seriousness,
the clutch is very light, I have been used to heavy clutches with long travels, if anything, that is what surprised me with this car, the fact that is was actually easy to drive with a manual. This is not a car that would give you a sore left leg after spending time in rush-hour traffic.

So I take it that the headrests are not movable? That's the position I would have 'em in, but I'm just interested if you tried moving them(I've sat in two now, and that is the one thing I didn't move in the interior...)

Didn't use the headrests as I drive with my head slightly forward (I think most people do), but it was in a very nice position if you wanted to rest your head. Definately functional.

Sorry Frank, we didn't try. I think they raise/lower but not sure about tilt.
ETA for the video should be sometime tonight.

That is just too cool! Great info and you guys certainly deserve the perks for all the work y'all do here. Jealous doesn't even begin to describe how most of us feel. Thanks!

We are lucky we live close to the head office and the people there recognise the work Brad has done.

Thanks guys ! Your review is excellent, and it is so great of you to share it with us. Bet you were blown away when they called you to do this. You sure must have impressed them on the original interview ! Can't wait to see the video.

Great job, guys. I know everyonr here is green with envy, especially me, since I won't be getting near a new Mustang until maybe next year.

The worst part about driving the '05 is that driving my cars is even more depressing.

Great review guys! I especially like that you confirm there's plenty of space for 6 footers in the '05. Too bad it wasn't a Redfire Dan. I't would have been cool to have your opinion on the color (looking pink or not...)

Great review guys.What a thanksgiving present :-) Loved the pic with flag 
If you get a chance,could you maybe ask if there is a option to have the V6 ordered without lower stripe.
questions:
-where there cup holders in back
-what was left hand blind spot like (do you need to take double take)
-is spare tire full,or space saver type
-does gas cap have release lock from inside
-with rear seat folded down,could you carry skis,snowboards etc (is there room)
Thanks Tom

-The mirrors are huge, and there is no real blind spot
-didn't check, but I am positive we have a space saver in the trunk.
-the fuel door is manual. There is no fuel-door release from inside the car.
-never even thought about checking the fold-down rear seats.
