- Sound it makes...all the time.
- Lockable rear power windows via kid switch (have you noticed that the lighting on the rear window switches goes out when the rear windows are disabled??)
- 10 way power driver seat (with power inflatable lumbar)
- Power trunk release via remote
- Beautiful linear throttle tip-in
- Great highbeams
- Parking brake that seems to never need adjusting
Least favorite (that can't be fixed by recontenting):
- Trunk doesn't open wide enough, so I bang my head once a week.
- Bad headlights (lowbeams)
- Stupid sounding horn
- Rear split folding seats that don't fold flat (SVT)
Least favorite (that can be recontented)
- No rear dome light.

Favorite feature: Backlit SVT gauges. I can still remember eagerly waiting for nightfall the first day I had my SVT because I knew it was gonna be cool. And it was! Least favorite missing feature (that can be recontented): Heated exterior mirrors, hands down. Long term plans have the glass and heaters from a 95 being installed in mine. Least favorite missing feature (non-recontentable): Sunroof (on mine). Should have ordered that.  Favorite missing "feature": Traction control. Or ATX.

I haven't done it in a while, but as I recall you pull forward, then up (there are two metal prongs on the seat bottom that latch into catches underneath).

Faves: I think everything mentioned. Dislikes: Crappy stereo that I haven't had the time to replace and the buzzing front passenger door that comes along with it.
