Wait.

What kind of engineer is doing a Technical Writer I or II's job? Problem number one...
My boss was like well you designed the product and you took technical writing at school so you should do it. :shrug:

I thought the memory seat was a frivolous option since no one drives the car except me.
But, the auto slide back on key off has made getting in and out of the car much easier.
For those without it, when you turn off the car, the drivers seat goes to a fully back setting.
When you start the car, it slides forward to memory position 1.

The Convertibles come with Active Security standard. It includes a locking console lid. At least the 16's and up, my vert has the locking lid just not a auto locking glove box.

Targa top would suit our body style quite nicely, I think. :cheers:

You wouldn't catch me driving a convertible mustang in a million years, but that targa is great. :love:

I thought that was stupid. Lid locked automatically, but not the glove box:shrug:

So... um... how do you get the key out of the key fob?

As I tend to leave the top down on the convertible while sitting at Starbucks and while I usually park where it'll be in my line of sight, I'd rather be able to lock the glove box just incase.

Things my Acura SUV has that the Mustang doesn't that I'm now missing:
-- Seat memory - I let very close friends and family drive it if they haven't been in one yet / have to run to a corner store and they always move the seat on me :(
-- Sunglass holder - the hidden compartment next to the steering wheel holds an Easy Pass...
-- Hood struts (I found them online, will probably buy)
-- Much better sound system, even over the Stroker (will probably fix this myself)
-- Blind spot warning - not a huge deal, but kinda got used to it on the RDX. Coincidentally, the wife got into an accident tonight in the RDX and she must not have noticed the big amber icon right next to the passenger window (she merged from left lane into right lane, into the drivers door of a Chevy Tahoe) that says, it's not clear, lol...

Things the Mustang has that the RDX doesn't
-- cooled seats - those are niiiiicccceeee.
-- a lot more power - the RDX isn't a slouch but the Mustang is quite a bit more powerful
-- I've had people literally stop me and tell me what a beautiful car it is. Never, ever had that happen in the RDX. A 50k SUV gets no love; a 35k convertible gets my neighbor whom has never said 2 words to me shout at me from 2 houses down - awesome car! It's happened at least once a week since we bought it a month ago. The first time was 2 days after I got it, in a parking ramp at 11pm coming out of a movie by a guy. Um... I may start carrying a weapon, just in case...

I wish it had the ability to have a digital speedometer in the center display to read the speed at a quick glance like my 5th gen Camaro had.

So... um... how do you get the key out of the key fob?
Look at back of key fob -
There is a small tab, press and hold that tab in, then simultaneously pull on the silver loop where you would attach other key rings. It may take a bit of effort, but be sure to pull the hoop straight up/outward. That is the hidden key inside of the fob that can be used to unlock the doors or glove box door.

It's a royal PIA to getting the key out of the fob...

Just for fun .. things I would add if I could snap my fingers --

  • Touch pad under the deck lip so I don't need to grope in my pocket for the fob to open the trunk.
  • I wish the pony hologram changed color along with the ambients and instruments
  • Lock on the console lid on convertibles
  • Gas cylinders for the hood instead of a prop rod

One of these might be fairly easy. Not sure about the other 3 ... lol

Any little features anyone else thinks are missing/nice to have?
Back on topic, as a matter of fact, yes:

A S550 that LOCKS itself automatically after the owner has EXITED the vehicle and is walking inside the house or walking across a parking lot to/from work or stores.

I've read TONS of threads on here where everyone says this feature is non-existent... WTF, why couldn't that simple feature have been implemented into the current "autolock" features?

Seat backs that cool like the bottoms do..

Height adjustment for seatbelts...tired of them rubbing my neck.

Has it ever baffled you how many man hours went into writing and then perfecting the manuals for cars which no one reads? As someone who writes tests and "manuals" (much much shorter than car ones) as part of my job it blows. my. mind.
If the manual just covered the car you bought instead of every different sub model and every conceivable option that you don't have it might just be readable.
