Things I wish my S550 did

[samd1351]

So, one of things I love about the car, is the sequential tail lights. Why can't we get sequential turn signals inside the car, just like the outside?! I hate that little arrow. So basic. I would love to be able to see the same turn signal display in the inside as the outside.

I know it's weak and I'm weird, but I'd almost be willing to trade up to get that feature.

I wish my car would stay clean.

I wish it could fold/unfold the mirrors automatically upon locking/unlocking the car, like other Fords do.
I wish it had not just global opening, but also global closing, like other Fords have.
I wish it had not just rear parking sensors, but front ones as well, like other Fords have.

It amazes me that things they've been offering for more than a decade on various other lesser and cheaper models are not available, not even as an option, on a fifty thousand dollar Mustang.

Remember, you bought a $20,000 car with a $15,000 powertrain and a bunch of glitzy options. It's a cheap car to start with.

Wish the seat back was electric. Even my lowly Fusion has it and my 350Z did.

Could be, but still, other $20,000 cars in the Ford lineup do have those options. A friend of mine payed around 17,000 euros for a Focus, and he's got everything I mentioned, and more.

I wish it had a force field around it to prevent door dings. I'm up to four now, a divot and two scrapes on the drivers side, and another scrape on the passengers side. I've never had so many on previous cars. Have people become so inconsiderate???

But he didn't get 400+ hp!

And I wish the mustang still had a cable from the gas pedal to the throttle body... The good ole days... sigh

No, he didn't, but why do we have to choose? Why can't we have them all? After all, it's technology that Ford already has laying around. They've been using it for over a decade now in their entire lineup. It's cheap, its R&D costs have been long payed off, it should cost next to nothing to put it in any car that already has the rest of the hardware in place. So why don't Mustang owners deserve it?

I also wish it had a bigger tank.

Don't Euro cars get power folding mirrors?

I also wish it had a bigger tank.

We all do

They do, but they only fold/unfold with the button on the door. Every other Ford vehicle equipped with power folding mirrors can fold/unfold them automatically when you lock or unlock the doors.
It's not a show stopper, I can live with it, but it would be nice if it did that. With the Mondeo, whenever I'm not sure whether I locked the doors or not, a quick look at the mirrors gives me the answer.

It's not R&D, it's part tooling (each that has a ROI) and variable cost to the vehicle that they didn't expect they could recuperate. It's not next to nothing, believe me.

I wish my car was about 600 lbs lighter.

I wish it had not just rear parking sensors, but front ones as well, like other Fords have.

A front parking sensor would be nice, especially with these cars having a long hoodline and a low front spoiler/lip (with some models having one that really sticks out). At least it seems __most__ parking stops clear the factory ride height and there's always backing in

Our DD/RT has front and rear, and like a wide angle from the corners specifically for parking.

How much weight can YOU lose

My car on scales, 4100, with me in it, 4600 ...
