Latest Gonzo on the other site has expressed disappointment that the real life mustang doesn't look as good as it does on the website :doh::doh::doh:
Sorted!

seems like a pretty positive and unbiased view, although I'm tired of hearing about the rear seating - every fastback style coupe has this issue and it's nothing new. Surely anyone with any idea would be taking this into account before ordering - needless to say why i'm keeping a four door sedan.
Seriously... is the rear seating a negative these days for reviews? What are they smoking? Who's writing these reviews? Whirlpool users?

Who buys a Mustang and complains about rear seating lol!!! I hate taking passengers... well... more than 1. Probably average 1 rear seat passenger a year. To get a 4 door car JUST for that one random occasion... yeah, nah :D

Rear seats are a non issue for this car, If you care about rear seats you are not looking for a Mustang, that's that issue solved.

Cup holders, and hand break are non issues, no food and drink in this car anyway, if it weren't for the key fob functions within the cup-holders I'd replace that center part with a cup-holder-less option anyway. I have had cars with the hand break on the 'wrong' side, it makes 0 difference.

The positioning of the blinker stalks. Who cares where they are, you get used to it. I am forever swapping between Euro and Aus spec cars and its not that big a deal.
Ok you might hit the wipers once, better melt the car down and put the metal back in the ground!

People get way too picky at all the wrong things for certain cars.

You're forgetting the lady that was bitching about the DRL for days (literally), and when I said there's a cheap fix... Says "are you high" :doh:

It's like someone saying I took a mates mustang on a fishing trip but found it lacked room for the fridge and got stuck on the beach....ffs.... How many people accidentally bought a mustang then realised its not a people mover?

Apparently not so uncommon.

2013 300C Luxury

No I'm keeping the 300c for a few more reasons- it will remain as the daily driver and shopping cart/ dent collector. Aditionally, it has all the other features the mustang doesn't (rightly) have- heated chilled cup holders, adaptive cruise, moon roof, 1000 watt harmon kardon home theatre, some rear legroom and fancy DRL's :clap2

I see the mustang as the project /toy and the Chrysler as the mobile lounge room

Must say I really love 300c and would miss it too much.

Credit to Ford, they have swapped our wiper / indicator stalks for RHD in the Southern Hemisphere (although not for UK??)

This really impressed me.

It is good, but unusual at the same time. They went to that effort and cost for a very small part of their market, but didn't make the effort on other things for the entire global car. It is even more weird when you look at say the Fiesta which is made in Thailand for the rhd market only and has the indicators on the left of the s/wheel. In the grand scheme of things it doesnt matter which side they are on as it is a lottery whenever you jump into a car these days anyway, so why did they bother just for a small sector. There is the possibility it is a requirement in Japan or some other area and we just lucked out.
