armrest never got in the way of the hand brake -- I've pulled it on auto-x once or twice to see if it did anything (not really considering it doesn't really LOCK the rears on the disc brakes).

the armrest is sooo always on my way when i try to shift and thats with a short shifter....the thing is made so cheap so whenever i flip it back so its out of my way, but if i hit it with my elbo or if there's a big bum that #$% thing opens and everything falls out :(

So it's a design flaw that the armrest gets in the way of a short shifter? I'm pretty sure ford wasn't really thinking about that.. they were probably thinking about how people will be able to reach the shifter from the armrest position... and made it tall enough to reach.

And if it's opening up when the armrest is raised, you may want to have the dealerhsip check that out. That's not supposed to happen.

I would suggest that you guys in this thread don't bother looking at mustangs. The cupholders are useless on the MTX, and the passenger-side wiper sweeps to about midway on the driver's side, resulting in a line down the middle of the driver's side after repeated use... Oh, and there's no delayed wipe after spraying, which means the wiper fluid just dribbles down the window (I sure do miss it when it's gone).

Not to mention that the convertible top isn't one touch down (or up)... and the wheel sensor bands are single use.

Oh, and absolute lack of visibility on declines or inclines (parking garages!)...
