-No lights on mirrors behind visors.. I had a Scion few years about for 2nd car with same thing, EVERY SINGLE girl who sat in that car noticed and complained.
-Manual passenger seat only, and no way to raise it, as mentioned before by another owner, the dashboard is very high.. seems silly you can't get an electric seat for passenger. Also as mentioned, when you flip the seat forward, you have to reposition it again, it doesn't remember how far back it was before you flipped it forward. So strange..
-Rear seats don't fold down. I have a bike I can fit in my current e92 coupe with the seats down. As well as skis, wakeboards etc from time to time.
-Small trunk opening. The actual size of truck isnt bad, but the opening is small, would be hard to fit even medium sized suitcases in there. And since the rear seat has such little room already, it would be difficult to get suitcases in there period.
I guess it may sound stupid to pick on small things like these, but the car is almost $60,000.. I find it hard to believe they let such small things like these happen. I know it's a "super fast" Mustang and all, but it still would have to be my daily driver, and as such I expect it to be able to do certain things.
Maybe it's time to start thinking about a 2011 ZCP e92 instead..

Actually I wish my M3 had manual seats, it wasn't until 2011.5 models that you get manual seats again. Also the GT500 starts out at $48.5K, fully specd out with the PP it is only $55k unless you want the glass roof in which you are now at $57k. Still not a bad price for what you are getting, is the interior as nice as the M3? In my eyes no..but still these cars have run 11's stock and can actually turn pretty good now and the amenities are not bad now.
