If available, What would you have been willing to pay for on your car?
Me I would have paid for that Green colour sported by Jimcat! Maybe even a S/C option, and 4 wheel disc brake.
Let the drooling and dreaming begin.

Fly to Japan, find a Vitz Turbo M and bring it back here as a "parts" car and just fudge the VIN - err... oops, that's not legal! :laugh:

conversion to a flat bed (no rear seat).
Thicker guage metal for the firewall, floor boards, and wheel wells.
One of those cool shark fin antennas
Oh yeah... intelligent cruise control that you can program to have the acceleration and deceleration properties that you want (Think auto-pilot hypermiling for long trips)

60/40 rear seat. Mine originally came with the bench seat, but I was fortunate to find a 60/40 one from a local board member.

I was thinking about the factory leather that adrian has that would have been nice to get.

A factory sunroof would be worth the cash too!!!

An option for a better paint job would have had my money.
I’m not sure about the 1.0 Bailout, there would have to be a new gearing option to go along with it. I’d like to see the 1.3 gas or 1.4 diesel as an option available in the US. Speaking of gearing, a few options as far as gearing would be great also. The road warriors could have their speed and we could have our economy gearing! For economy driving, first gear has got to be the worst thing ever (at least in the manual tranny).
The 60/40 rear seat would have been nice, or at least make the other back seat fold flat.
A more adjustable driver’s seat or an option for a different seat. This one can be a little hard on me if driving for more than a few hours.
I’m used to the steering wheel now but a few inches of adjustability would have been better.
More aerodynamic front end. Something slightly more aero than a bowling ball would be nice. I already have my plans for one but need to wait until it is paid for. How about a whole economy package? Full underbody panels, front dam, wheel skirts… As it is now I need to wait 4 more years before I can permanently modify anything on the little bugger.
I do like Toyota’s idea on the Yaris that everything is an option. Here is a car, take it from there.

Not in specific order:
1. Diesel engine or maybe a 1.3 liter gas engine
2. Better paint
3. Much better manual transmission (I got an automatic because manual transmission on the car that I test drove was just terrible)
4. Cruise control
5. Most of the safety options on the market
6. 4 wheel disk breaks
7. Better seats
8. Center arm rest
9. Better(well much better) quality interior
10. Sound deadening materials
11. Side and rear airbags
12. Better(well MUCH better) quality speakers
13. Sunroof
14. Better crash test ratings
I think I would be willing to pay an extra $3,000 for all these options.

Here is mine, in order of preference:
Power Moonroof
Heated Leather Seating (Height-adjustable would be great too)
XM Capable Factory Radio (Mine is an 08, I know they have it now)
One touch up & Down on all windows (like my previous VWs)
and some better colors. A nice vivid yellow would be sweet (like my old 02 Mazda Protege5)

Nothing, I quite happy with my setup.Ditto. I'm on the opposite side of the equation...there were a lot of things available that I didn't opt for.

Option to have the rear glass open not just the entire hatch
ScubaSteve

My choices in order
1) Turbo
2) 4 Wheel Disc brakes
3) Sunroof
4) Better Sport seats in the RS (sit lower and hug better)

EXACTLY what I had in mind. Plus a lowering kit and a cool looking hood scoop, just for effects.

sunroof
heated seats
6sp MT
a tach in the gauge "cluster" (since it's not really a cluster, just a speedo with some warning lights)
auto up and down on both windows (I have the 3dr LB)
RedRide

Yeah, that woud be nice.
I would add to that a tach (HB, manual), Even though it's easy to install one yourself, it woud be better if one was in the gauge cluster
Also, water temp and oil pressure gauges.

- 1.8 L engine
- Internal hatch release
- 6 speed
- upgrade the manual transmission so it feels less notchy, smoother
- tach? (although I discovered I can live without, actually)
The rest, I can handle, as is. Interior is a bit cheap but that's fine for an entry level car. I would definitely pay for some mechanical improvements if the option was there, and the internal hatch release should come standard IMO.

After a run today, I'd like a better clutch option!!
