-While it doesn't bother me most of the time, the seating position could be better.
-Very difficult to clean up under the rear spoiler.
-Automatic headlights that cannot be turned off easily.
-I have to park on a college campus every other day, and the doors are impossible to deal with sometimes.
-The way this car shifts from 1-2 is ridiculous when under light throttle. Riding through campus is kind of embarrassing because the car jerks so hard in the transition from 1-2 and it shifts to second when you go any faster than like 10 mph when you're 1/4 throttle or less.
I love the car other than those things though.

Exactly, I'm glad I'm not the only A4 guy that goes through that, it's pretty annoying. Instead of leaving it in OD, I might try to shift it in 1st tomorrow morning when I get on campus, then drive through and see if that helps with the 1-2 slam. Does your car chirp into 2nd gear pretty good when you're going WOT from 1st by chance?

In this video here I'm pretty sure you can hear my tires chirping into second.

10 bolt 7.5 inch rear end it not as weak as stated. If you get a cam and bolt ons and a stall it might eventually break. I hate the rear end and the seats and i dont have a 454 lsx motor.

windows..
its a bitch for..******* bitches
gas mileage...or lack of
plug #8
Impossible to clean the inside of windows (hatch and front)
The immense differences between 98 and every other year
rear
passengers never fit comfortably.. chicks love it till like 3 of them all try to squeeze in, then i have to kick the fattest one out.
im pretty sure mine was wrecked and unreported...
theres a hole in my ******* rim...loosing about 2 psi per day.
chips, tar, various flaws.
mustang owners ALWAYS Rev at me and never want to race (i guess they know their place)
debating on keeping ground effects kit on/off...always ******* touching it up because of scrapes.

I'm surprised I'm the first one to post this. $hitty undersized clutch master cylinder, nearly impossible to bleed slave cylinder, seriously most people cut a hole in there car to do it. Also the 1yr old delphi fuel pump the PO put in wines constantly, and most of the speakers are blown.

Bad gas mileage? I get about 18/19 on mine in the city? Seems pretty good to me really.
I ALWAYS have mustangs intentionally edge me out, needlessly pass me, rev at me at redlight, do the ricer flyby for no reason in traffic.. it's annoying.
