What do you miss not having in the Mustang?

Manual rearview mirror dimmer lever.

I wanna like this twice!!!!

Missing oil temp sensor with factory gauge, also missing coolant temp sensor with factory gauge,

Both of those are available in the custom dash setup on the Premium, if yours is that.

Simple manual seat adjustment. The slow electric adjustment is a pain in the a** (and it doesn’t even have a seat memory on my 2016 ecoboost).
Oh, ragmopinkona has reminded me - a spare tyre……..

Power Sun Roof....really love those on my previous cars (SHO, F150)

Not on 2021+. They removed these gauges from selection list.

Make the Tremec manual tranny optional choice for purchase on all base GT mustangs that now only come with the marginal China made Getrag.

Major: a clutch that doesn't disengage cruise. My 2013 Cadillac manual could be shifted without having to re-engage cruise. Suspect even older ones did. Having to reengage ACC after shifting when traffic speeds vary more than a single gear range is stone age (Fred F. confirms).

Minor: (1) front camera, (2) seat/mirror setting buttons that work while moving. Ford creates safety issue trying to prevent another. On rare occasions, I'll lower driver side mirror to park close to a curving curb. If I drive off without resetting the mirror, I have none or have to focus on it in traffic while manually adjusting it or come to a full stop in a freeway middle lane in rush hour. Make the buttons work while moving. I promise I won't push the wrong one and Darnell myself.

Heated steering wheel in winter.

Adjustable lumbar support. It was fully manual in my 1996 Nissan, and since then I haven't had a seat that measures up to that.

A prismatic mirror. This "auto-dimming" thing isn't worth a shit. I don't know what causes it to dim, but it's not an SUV shining xenon headlights on my mirrors. On the occasions that it dims, it just tints the image a little bit green, when I'm used to a prismatic mirror cutting the brightness to 1/10th or something.

A much smaller RPM drop between 3rd and 4th gears. Ford gave us a fairly silly big-ass gap for the 2018+ GT.

CD player. I've figured out how to hook up a USB full of music and get it to play files in an order I want but I can't change folders once I'm on the road. Where my Nissan or my Evo's CD players would get done with a folder and move on to the next one, my Mustang's stereo will just go back to the first file in the folder. That's a software thing that Ford could fix...

Hydraulic power assist. I mean, I don't miss it in the sense that I have hydraulic steering assist in my old cars. That also means I'm paying property tax and insurance on a 240SX an Evo and a 2020 Mustang, because the 2020 car's steering feel is deficient.

Faster steering ratio. Feels pretty sluggish in parking, or on a twisty road.

Spare tire. I've seen photos of what happens when you use the emergency compressor and its foam canister.

1- A decent sound systm. I have the Shaker Pro in my GT and the rear speakers are barely noticeable.
2- A heads-Up display. My 94 Bonnevile had one

FRONT PARKING CAMERA!

I would like to have the numeric keypad entry if they conceal it like on my wife's edge. But I agree with others not liking/needing all the nannies and such.

That is a feature I had on my F150 that I do miss on the Mustang. It would be nice if it could be added somehow and not look like crap. Very nice feature.

 

[K4fxd]

Very nice feature.

I like just grabbing the handle and the door unlocking.

I like just grabbing the handle and the door unlocking.

That is true. There are times I don't have the keys with me where the number pad is handy. It is a rare occurrence so not a huge deal.
