I wish that the drink holders in the center console were offset towards to the passenger side. I like to carry a bottle of water with me and anything large or tall interferes with my forearm when shifting.

Oh, yeah...and the hood air extractors are a PITA to keep dust free.

But in fairness, these are very small prices to pay. I'm enjoying the snot out of my GT.

Doesn't really affect me (the driver), but the complaint I hear most is about the down-in-the-basement passenger seat.

The headrests on my 2014 constantly right on the back of my head. I have to consciously jut my head forward while trying to sit normally.

The folding rear headrests. I know it's for safety but having those things up gives you literally no visibility out the back.

Hmm... After almost 8 hours of deep thought, I've actually come up with something.

The back seats are curved and as a result... a baby seat or booster seat will dig into the leather?


No?

Windshield wiper/turn signal stalk

I've lost count how many times I've gone to make a left turn, and ended up turning the wipers on.

I'm not sure how I do it, but I do.

Other than that, the dash. It's black, and in direct sunlight reflects really badly in my windshield.

Oh, thought of another one. Perforated leather seats, they get crumbs stuck in the perforations constantly. The only way I've been able to get it out is a thumb tack.

Ok 1 more. No rear cup holders. With the front ones being pretty much useless with a stick shift, rear ones would've been a nice back up.

BUT I LOVE MY CAR!! She's the other beautiful pain in the @$$ I have

Steering wheel is too **** big! It drives me nuts because it feels like it belongs in a cruse ship and not a sports car! Also the cup holder door keeps opening when my arm rests on it. Gas cap keeps opening with the slightest bump, should have come with a locking gas cap! Other than that I'm absolutely in love with my Mustang!

Lack of storage for anything larger than a wallet also the cup holders are horrendous if you have a manual. Other than that I love my car.

The lack of a "memory" for the seatback has been mentioned-let me add to that. My 1998 F-150 XLT has it, for crying out loud. So, second-lack of storage reachable from the driver seat. Console is miniscule, the door pockets are too narrow. I store my wallet in the inside door pull because anywhere else is too small. And what genius came up with putting beverage holders right where you reach or you rest your elbow? Trade him and his contract to GM.

When gas goes up $0.40 per liter in the last couple of years, it is an issue. I bought a $35k car, not $100k. I'm not rich.

They do indeed. I had to put thick memory pillows back there with the seats on top to prevent them from digging into the leather.

I don't like the 'no memory' for the seat backs and the passenger seat belt locks up a lot (wife doesn't like that)

+1 on the seat back position.

Next on the list is lack of a telescoping steering wheel. I feel that I have to sit more vertically to keep my elbows bent, and it's not like I'm overly tall (5'10") or have long legs (30" inseam).

Grab the headrest and pull it all the way forward then release. It is adjustable. My kids sometimes push them forward when they are getting into the back of the car and I have to reset them.

True. I am fine with 18 inch rims and like the style of the base GT rim but why can't they be 9 or 9.5? I really want 275/40's on my car but those little 8 inch rims won't do for that.
