Electrical problems including top not going back up, A/C malfunctioning, vibration at speeds above 60-70mph, engine misfiring, poor shifting, severe tint scratching due to poorly designed window seals... probably more, but I am tired of listing them!
Fast and raw. Retro looks, retro build quality (read: poor).
Uncomfortable ride due to live axle. Noisy with top up.
Gas mileage reasonable for engine output.
Disappointing service from Ford dealerships.
Fun to drive in a straight line - V8 sounds great.
Archaic suspension setup is allergic to corners.
Very cheap plastic interior - lots of hard surfaces.

Once again someone bought a new car without looking at or driving it. All of your complaints, other than service problems from the dealer, should have been noticed during the first drive and inspection of the car. As far as service goes, there is a major problem in the auto industry across the board in that area so you'll find every brand owner with a bad service story. When you spend $30+K on a car you'd think a little more research and effort would be put into the purchase, but I have read too many reviews of people that complain about issues that should easily be noticed in the first impression of the car.
I'm VERY impressed with the new Mustang. Having owned a '66, '76, '81, '85, '89 and '96, I find the new one to be the best yet. As for the interior having lots of "hard surfaces", that is part of the retro design, and very appropriate. It's part of what I liked about the car. If I get one of the newer ones it will definitely be a V-6, as my experience has been that the 6's are far more reliable than the 8's. I also feel the 6 offers plenty of power for any driving situation.

A good thief won't go near a Ford.
FINALLY! Someone with thsame problem! I have vibrating too right at 70mph! It is ur drive train, but don't waste ur time replacing it because it will just do it again!!! The window tint scratches, OMG I paid 130 to have mine tinted, and one week later the tint is getting deep lines in it and they tell me they can't fix it!! So I gues I'm just suppose to drive around with juuts the back tinited!!! The plastic inside, hey it's a mid 20's vehicle not a Beamer. It's part of the style.
