+1 to cup holder location with a manual +1 to the fricken lack of seat back memory +1 to the small gas tank, should have been 18-20 gallons. +1 lack of sterling wheel adjustments. Thankfully it works for me, but no bueno for the wife. New stuff... But mostly just niggles Small rear rotors. Not a performance issue, they just wear fast, had to replace at 30k. They also Look out of proportion with Brembo fronts. Lack of headlight indicator on dash (only high beam indication). In overcast weather the light on the **** is hard to see ( only an issue in auto mode) No raising the rear headrests, makes it a ***** with certain car seats getting the 3rd point latch buckle through and impossible for others No auto dim rear view mirror... Should be mandatory on all cars IMHO. Something I laughed at until I owned a car with one. The worst one for me though.... Base interior hula hoop. I refuse to call that offensive circle of rubber/plastic a steering wheel. Fixed by replacing with a boss unit which is a much worthier tiller for such a powerful beast. Sure it was functional... But Considering the steering wheel is one of the few things used/touched every time you drive I found the stock unit shockingly poor. The leather on the premium wheel was a bit better but still provided a poor grip for such a performance oriented car. Don't get me wrong. In the final analysis none of the above is all that bad in the grand scheme of things. Mostly they bug me because of how easy they are to have avoided or fixed. Regardless, I LOVE my '12 Kona Blue Brembo Baby. 45k almost entirely trouble free miles in and the **** eating grin I got driving off the lot is still plastered on my face every time I fire her up. I still find it amazing I got this much car for ~30k.

Like others have said, Cupholders, Seat folding, ect. Also visibility when backing up. I hate having to back mine up more than a few feet. Its big butt makes it hard to judge distance and see things coming up behind. I guess I need a rear camera lol

He has a V6, which is electronically limited to 112mph, where as our GTs are limited to 147mph from the factory. Makes perfect sense to me as well, especially since Ford isn't going to have different gauge clusters manufactured for the different engines(unless its a GT500).
(Obviously a tuned vehicle may/will not have a top speed restriction).

[QUOTE="Mrsuitcase;6838919"]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?[/QUOTe
I'm amazed you actually took the time to bash your own car... Lol.
Sell the mustang and go get a civic....

The thread is stated as "Your least favorite feature of your car (non-performance)?"
No car is perfect. It's impossible to find a car that you will just love through and through or a house or job. Impossible.

I speak on my behalf and my behalf only. There are certain things that to me, are just accessorizing more than "modding" like changing my license plate cover as another example. that's not modding to me. I'm sure others see it as that, which is fine.
