Your least favorite feature of your car (non-performance)?
A nice wheel/tire combo on any car can make it's look, more than any other bolt on part. The most rusted, beat up clap trap will turn heads with shiny rolling stock.
IMO, Ford fell short in the wheel selection department for the S197 with the exception of Bullits, the Boss 302, and Shelbys. The aftermarket does a much better job. To their credit Ford has done a bit better with some of the S550 wheels.
I'd love to see someone do a reproduction of Magnum 500 wheels in larger diameters. There's a very good reason why every car manufacturer offered them in the 60's.
You may now have your thread back.

I think more attention to the passenger side comfort would be in order. Lack of seat adjustments (hight for shorty). Seat belts alway grabbing needlessly (for shorty) Amongst other things (for shorty), A Happy wife is a happy life as they say. Or future wife. 
The Car should be road trip worthy and adjustable for a five foot woman or a six foot woman.
For me it would be the cup holders by the shifter.

The cup holders location! I find it very uncomfortable going through gears while I have a bottle of water placed in either spots. that's the ONLY thing I don't like the car which is good considering...
oh. I hate it when People slam my door!
(not really a flaw in the car)
Ford. Everyone has an automatic trunk shutting mechanism and Vans have side doors that close. Make a mustang shut automatically passenger doors as well lol.

Lol I really don't understand this whole trunk thing. It's super easy for me to close...
it does seem sturdy though, and I like that for when you park on an incline, it doesn't shut on your head. My 00 and 03 required much more effort.

Guys, I think the lack of memory on the seats is so that you can adjust the seat angle while standing from the outside before you get in.
Otherwise it could be a literal pain when you slam your gut into the steering wheel after committing to the jump in.
It's not so much that it's "hard" to close.
It's more like, you have to follow through to close it.
There's no "my hands are full, lemme just use my elbow" allowed. Hell there's not even, "I've got a grocery bag around my wrist and I don't want to slam this gallon of milk into my rear bumper."

Since I have Prime and it's only $15.00... I think I'll give it a try!

My child is coming back from Summer vaca this Saturday. I ordered one of those, it seems to be a quality piece. I also ordered a kick-back for the seat that secures to the back of the passenger or driver seat (comes in packs of two) so I won't be scrubbing off her foot prints. lol.
My wife's Prius is still out of commission for a couple more weeks
Oh, i've tried every position possible. The problem is that your upper back/shoulders sits deep in the seat pocket while the headrest directly above protrudes forward. So I can't sit up straight and sit naturally. I sort of wish I had Recaro's but mine's a GT/CS with the Miko suede heated power seats. I may try the MRT or TMI aftermarket headrests one day to see if they provide some relief.
That's unfortunate but that's more an issue brought on by using aftermarket parts, not really a design/feature gripe from Ford.

Perhaps you'd be better of posting in the 2015 section where criticism of the 2015 is not allowed. :P
