3. A stereo that isn't an embarassment to 1960s technology - with rear speakers. i think i can do better than what they could come up with.
4. 4 wheel disc brakes. yes yes yes!
5. Tire/wheel combo that offers more choice. cant beat aftermarket on that...
6. A proper warranty (don't give me that garbage about cost). If the manufacturer/importer doesn't have faith in the car, why should i? bless you! You took my thoughts and feelings on this one!

Personally, I'd be plenty happy with the additions of:

A) The cdi engine option
B) The mhd engine option
C) A factory trip computer in place of the analog clock pod
D) Cruise control and an armrest added to the comfort package
