No particular order here:

1. Goodyears
2. Push button start (totally agree OP)
3. Back up camera (totally agree OP)
4. Stereo- it's OK but for the add $$ for ShakerPro should be better IMHO!
5. Larger gas tank - seems like I'm constantly filling up even averaging 16-18mpgs!

One other item but to be honest haven't spent a lot of time on it is all the various nanny, traction control, launch control modes. Seems it should be simpler to set it vs. holding the brake, pushing the button x times, etc.. Seems either the joystick on the wheel or a single button should allow you to scroll thru and select one of the settings and those settings should display exactly what the parameters are. Again I admit I haven't messed with it too much but it just doesn't seem as simple as it should be.

I have a 2014 with the pony on start up, not the snake

1. Unfortunately: The power delivery (Too refined, I don't know where you guys get the feeling it's raw. Long gears. Intrusive electronics, etc)
2. Skinny tires
3. Stereo
4. Ride Height
5. Door handle double-pull

this is the greatest vehicle I have ever driven, let alone owned but if I had to pick anything:
1. awkward center console compartment, you have to turn around backwards to look into it.
2. paint quality
3. speeding tickets
4. speeding tickets
5. speeding tickets

1.) Goodyears - should be MPSS
2.) Wider wheels F and R
3.) Hard plastic center console - would be nice to have leather in this area
4.) Replace hard plastic on the doors w/ leather covered

That is really about my only complaints

[Daffy]

1. rear wheel/tire size, both from factory and aftermarket fitment flexibility
2. see #1
3. the gas thimble instead of a tank, MPG aside it is what it is, it just needs to hold more
4. see #1
5. Either keyless or move the key a bit, my right knee tends to hit the key in the ignition and no way I could ever have the key on a ring with other keys, must've been test with dwarfs.

Of course, there are 1,000 things I love so these are all overlooked .... easily, but since you asked.

 

[Willie2]

1. I keep hitting my right knee on the steering wheel adjuster...hurts bad!
2. Nav isn't as good as the other '13's in Fords lineup

 

[Mackey]

1. Base Stereo is definitely lacking (no Shaker Pro here either)
2. The clutch protection which cannot be turned off (maybe biggest gripe)
3. Tires could be better
4. Needs more supercharger whine
5. Clutch is on the heavier side for being stuck in traffic.

I have trouble finding whats wrong with the car. I'm really happy with it and consider the above more of critiques.

 

[jsdeweyusmc]

I like every thing about my GT500

 

[BCPD199]

1. Interior Upgrade Package - I liked the leather dash pad on my '08. And as someone else posted, leather on the doors and center console would make the car feel as rich as it is expensive.

2. Back up sensors and/or camera. Between the 'vert's small rear window, the spoiler and the rear being jacked up more than the front, it's like playing Russian Roulette when you back up.

3. Get rid of the Goodyears.

4. Get rid of the second gear crunch.

5. Get rid of the rear end whine.

I'm going to get flamed for this. But I was spoiled by my 11' gt auto. I'd like to see an auto. I think it would be killer as a drag pack option or something. The track pack is cool, but I don't have much use for it.

 

[yosemiddysam]

1. Lack of Blower whine
2. Cup Holder placement.
3. Small Gas Tank/Fuel low light at half 1/4 Tank
4. No Rear Camera/Sensors
5. Skinny Rear Tires

 

[Devious_Snake]

1. Small rear tires
2. Stereo
3. Limited color combos ( interior especially)
4. Gas tank too small
5. clutch spring, intrusive clutch parameters

Plus 1. Changed numbers 1,3 and 4 myself. Do a lot of around town driving so only average around 13 mpg. Also don't understand why my Honda accord has hood struts and my Shelby doesn't but fixed that with Red Line.

But all above is nit picking and love the beast.

 

[tw0scoops]

1. No jack in the trunk. I can understand not having a spare, since the stockers are runflats and the wheels are staggered, so one size does not fit all. But many use winter tires. Also if I had a total blowout, I wouldnt like the cars weight to be sitting on the wheel while i wait for a tow.

2. There's a bar running across the base of the oil filter. Gunna make a mess when I do my first oil change. My '11 explorer has nothing below it for the oil to drip on, which is nice. Although I remember someone suggesting placing the filter in a ziplock baggy then start unscrewing the filter. Might help.

3. Wider rear wheels/tires.

4. CD player sounds fine, but for some reason the radio sounds horrible....can't get the right combination of bass/treble.

5. Hood struts. Good call Phil. These cars should have these by now.
