Worst design fault on the S?

My vote is the exhaust as there is no easy fix

...but also remember it is probably the best sounding exhaust on any of the ford V6 engines...

Agree, this is one of my biggest worries about attempting a reroute, don’t want to lose the music.
Wondering if a side exit might do the trick.
There’s no way I’m raising the suspension, and a new (stock)exhaust will get trashed just the same as the old one.

Most of the other items are maintenance/repair issues and don’t spoil the driving experience. Should have been more clear in the original question.
Fixed the indicator warning thing with LEDs higher in the dash.

It needs a more powerful engine, stronger transmission, better suspension and brakes. It was definitely done on the cheap compared to the models before and after it. Or to put it another way - the later models built on the success of the S.

Wouldn’t have been at the same price or be the same car. I take your point on the brakes though.
