Some people noticed the fact that the steering does not provide for the telescope aside from the fact that no manual-automatic mode was provided for the V6 version. Some drivers also found interior controls which have no use. They feel that it must have been incorporated haphazardly. The space at the backseat of the 2011 Ford Mustang might be uncomfortable for adult passengers.
