Oh yeah, I want a tazer that zaps the idiot in front of me every time I push the button. Touch your phone, ZAP. Eating a burrito, ZAP. Asleep at the light, ZAP. Doing anything other than drive your car, ZAP!
I would be willing to drive the crappiest car in the world for that one option.
Outside temperature. I use that so much in my other cars, but the minvan doesn't have it. Adding it seems to be impossible.
Heated seats.
In reply to pinchvalve :
I had an aftermarket auto-dimming rearview mirror that I installed in one of my vans a few years back. It came with the temperature sensor that they recommended you mount behind the front bumper and gave an outside temp display on the mirror. I think it would cycle between that, the compass, and just blank with the button that was on the bottom.
Antihero said:I'm (apparently) the only person in the world that doesn't want heated seats, steering wheel or anything. Even when it's cold as hell my heater isn't on for long.
Realistically I wish my winter car , 00 explorer, had a much better stereo system and one day I'll get that done. The summer car, 02 zx2, I wish I could figure out why the a/c is bitchy.
Wife's car has heated seats. I never use them.
My DD has one option, air. I would gladly trade it for cruise.
One thing I do like when driving Mr's fly's car is being able to connect to my phone and not having to carry around a bunch of music, though the aftermarket does that very inexpensively now.
Big wish: autonomous driving so I can read the GRM boards while I commute
Small wish: auto dimming rear mirror, had it on my E46 and not on the Jetta and surprised I miss it.
Mazda CX-3.
I wish it was available with a manual (European & Asian markets get them, just not the U.S.).
Also, I wish it was available in silver. I had to pay $200 extra to get it in white (tons of pearl) to avoid other colors that I disliked. The candy apple red is amazing (better than what Porsche, Lexus, etc. have IMO) but it requires some crazy five step process that I understand is impossible to duplicate at a shop so if you ever get hit, it probably will never look right.
Heated steering wheel, other than that nothing.
The only option I would add to the Jaaag is a true limited slip differential. And maybe delete the sunroof. I hate sunroofs because they're just a controlled leak that eventually becomes uncontrollable.
I'd like the Levorg option please;
When I was young, dumb, and full of cum, my dd was 67HP, 4 speed manual, fwd.
Reading all magazines and stuff, led me to believe, real men drive RWD. So I always dreamed of RWD for my DD. I then bought a RWD, but dreamed of having a convertible. Then realized, I am not a dog, and hate my hair in in the wind, and I only want a glass roof. When I bought a RWD, I dreamed of mid engine RWD. I bought mid engine rwd with glass roof, but then I wanted heated seats, and more power. Then I got cars with more power and heated seats. Then I wanted cup holder, so I got a car with cupholders. Then I wanted wagons because cool BROS drive wagons, got that too. Then I wanted to overland, because cool BROS are all overlanding, got that too.
Then I wanted a car with Carplay and got that too.
Now I have ALL the things I want in a DD, too bad none of those things are all combined in ONE car!
UGH. So I am still dumb, though these days its accompanied by being old and no cum
Turbo.
I waited and waited for Mazda to make a turbocharged RX-8 and it never happened.
Bill still sad.
I have heated leather, power seat, Sirius/XM, sunroof. Wish I had heated wheel, cooled seats, auto climate control
I have heated "sport" seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, AUX, and AWD.
I wouldn't have minded cooled seats, but I would've loved if the US version of my wagon was able to have a slick top AND/OR the option when new to go RWD.
Instead, I'm gonna have to make it so, which in turn will make it less of a DD and more of a weekend wagon.

I only got 88K on my first engine and 157K on my second engine.
Honestly, with a turbo, Mazda should require a rebuild at some interval (to get the housings back before they’re trashed) and incorporate extensive use of quick disconnect couplers to get the R&R time way down.
I’m not joking, rather than trying to increase longevity, accurately predict when the engine is about to go (don’t just use the odometer, instead, include measures of RPM levels as an indication of stress and/or have real time compression analysis) and mandate the rebuild when certain criteria are met as a condition of the warrantee.
If Mazda prorated the engine rebuild for something like $3,000 at 60K miles under typical stress conditions, I’d buy another RX-8 in a heartbeat.
Turn key reliability would be pretty nice. I've never had a daily with working AC.
I'd really like to try that heated steering wheel stuff, and while I hear good things about cruise control, I've rarely been in a position to make use of it.
I like Toymans zapper idea, but I'd settle for machine guns behind the headlights.
Unlimited POWER!

If I was president, I'd mandate lsd as standard on all vehicles sold here. Open diffs are the devil!
'18 Mazda 3 Touring, wish I had been able to get a Grand Touring or the Bose/Sunroof package on the Touring. But when you're buying used and have to buy it NOW, can't always get what you want.
Android Auto would be nice, and I could retrofit it, but I have no desire to put any money into the car I don't need to.
But it still has leather, heated seats, bluetooth, etc, etc.
Manual steering, because it has a 44/56 weight distribution
11:1 final drive instead of 9:1, because 120 MPH is OK and 140 useless in an EV
A more accessible 12V outlet for an electric blanket
and finally: A TRAILER HITCH so I don't have to use an 18-year-old Oldsmobile to tow for 5,000 miles every year
I may be the only one who would have wanted a '98 Buick Regal with a manual transmission and limited slip diff. OK, the limited slip diff might have been a popular option if they'd offered it.
I like the option combo of my Versa Note (stick, crank windows/locks, cloth, Bluetooth, aux input, basic radio with knobs). Only thing that I would like is a 6 speed instead of 5 speed for highway driving..
I just want to steal the wife's daily for a daily. Comfy seats, bluetooth radio, steering wheel controls and auto. I love my 3 pedal cars but stop and go traffic for 30 minutes sucks.
I have much different needs for a comfy daily than I do a fun weekend car.
Air suspension.
