I can't believe nobody said heated seats
I can't believe nobody said heated seats
Since we're just wishing, i'll throw in some suggestions that may not appeal to many and may not be legal either.
A lot of these I have posted about already but here goes, in no particular order...
1) Offer a two door. Completely crush Fiat 500 and MINI sales. Completely.
2) Offer skirts/spoilers (body coloured, FFS) as factory options at every trim level.
3) Body coloured handles, mirrors etc at every trim level (even if it's as an option)
4) More choices for wheel/tire from factory
5) Reasonable suspension height.
6) Door locks that stay locked when you close door (without holding handle)
7) Doors that open from inside when locked, without locks being operated manually. (at least on front doors)
8) Remote release hatch.
9) Rear wiper can be an option, or at least a delete option if you're feeling generous.
10) Traction/stability control can be an option for all I care.
11) Anti theft crap can be an option as above.
12) Fix the passenger wiper stowage.
13) Fix the final drive ratio of 5 speed tranny and/or offer 6 speed. (I would pay 1K for this)
14) Make it so rear seats fold flat. Somehow, please.
15) Rear seat quick removal, like a mini van.
16) Greater range of genuine accessories. Available here, in Canada. I have to have that Indian market, Genuine Nissan tissue box holder.
17) Full coverage sun visors.
18) South American style rear seat head rests please. This is an easy one, just do it.
19) Factory roll cage option ala race prepped cars... just kidding ... I might purchase though.
20) Countersink the ignition key entry. This is really frustrating when half in the bag.
21) More room around the right side of gas pedal...to accommodate guys with big...uh, boots
22) Vinyl or faux leather seat option.
I've probably forgotten a few.

The car warms up fast enough even in our polar vortex. Heated seats aren't necessary.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

That's a nice 'shop job, I like it!
And the locks? yep...if I lock the door while inside, I have to manually unlock it to open door. This is the first car I've owned that did this, to the best of my memory. This is the first four door car i've owned and i realize it might be a good idea for the rear doors (kids and all), but it bugs me on the front doors... especially when I accidentally lock the door while driving and have a minor panic attack when trying to open door at my destination LOL.

Oh, and here's another one that would be kinda cool. Great for drug runners, secret agents or the perfect spot for a whoopie cushion!
And lets not pretend that an I phone would EVER inhabit that cavity. Most people couldn't bring themselves rest it on top of the passenger seat, let alone out of sight.
