Anoying Design Flaws aka..pet peves
Im kind of curious about what people have noticed with there mustangs when it comes to design flaws...aka those things that bug the S*it out of you!
Ive had my car for a year and a half and I still cant get over the rear window trunk layout. I love the look of the floating glass but I constantly have to pick leaves out of the window.. or I have to open up the trunk and stick my hand into the crevis by the tail lights and scoop out leaves. I have had to throw handfulls of leaves away (same thing for the front windsheild by the wipers..they just get everything stuck in them)[:'(]
So, what is your pet peve?

1. Seat back does not return to its [former] position after you use the release lever.
2. Non-adjustable shoulder harness.
My 2000 Dodge Neon beater car has both these features.

No inside trunk release, no gas shocks for the hood (annoying prop rod), no painted mirrors.

1. the car interior has that cheesy "plastic" that goes on forever, especially that abomination shifter on the automatic
2. the leather seats aren't leather, 70% of them are non leather
3. as stated before, no trunk release, hood props
4. passenger seat is way too low

RE: Anoying Design Flaws aka..pet peves
my keys are way too close to my knee
It's sometimes hard to reach back and get the seatbelt
I got the crappy, non-leather steering wheel and I hate it

Every single item above, especially the cheesy plastic trim.
However you look at it, the Mustang is built to a price, we have to live with that.

First off, I love this car.
Pet peeves, (besides throttle response)... yeah now that you mention it, that key and fob is right at my knee if I'm not careful!
