Do you have the NAV? If so you can train it to your voice.

I did that last year and it has only missed like 1 command since. Even with the windows down.

How do you train it? Treats and positive reinforcement?

It's an option in one of the menus. Takes about 10 min IIRC

I trained mine. When mine messes up it's usually because the POI i'm looking for is not in their database. It sucks when places that have been around for years and years are not listed, but are found in my Garmin.

Had a similar problem with 2003-04 cobra hoods. The paint on my immaculately maintained 20k mi. Cobra is more chipped than my 1997 gt daily driver. Ford recommends putting 3m paint guard on it. What a bunch of crap!

Its hard to get in and out of and I'm a small guy. Also I don't have an Aux input, but I can't blame the car on that one.

For me it is. It has long doors. In a tight parking lot its hard. I just find it easier to get in my truck.

Tight parking lot... I can see that. Definitely a PITA there.

The doors are actually shorter than a lot of other coupes.

I'd take a mid sized station wagon provided it was based on Mustang mechanicals. It doesn't have to look like a Mustang but such a wagon would be made of win none the less. Especially with a big 'ol honk'n 5.8 trinity motor for err ummm... towing purposes.

Glad I saw this. I’m doing a little pre-purchase research.

I also own an S2K (2007). I find I have problems being comfy in my S2K haha. I'm 6'2 with a long torso, and I find that if I have my seat far enough back to accommodate my legs, the back of the seat must be uncomfortably upright and I get to hear the leather/Vinyl rubbing against the roll bars.

I also wish that the seat would be about 2” lower. I feel as though I hardly fit into the seats and that I’m riding in a truck! My 93 MR2T felt much lower and roomier. The S doesn't allow for tall hair.

I did find the standard 2013 GT power seats can get really low to the floor pan, but I’m seeing that you opted for the Recaros. Maybe they have a lower rail you can grab – like the Backyard Specials for the S. It really seems like there's no perfect car – just a perfect compromise. I'm looking forward to being able to haul my guitar and amp around (at the same time)!
