I doubt you really need the 4 wheel disc brakes, mine stops just fine.
Tilt would be nice, but again, I have plenty of room.
Sound system, well you don't have too much area to fill with sound now do you...
Gernade launcher and wings.... Now you're talking!!

2. Manually adjustable seat height. If it includes a way to lower it i'm for it too. This is precisely what I meant - the abilty to lower.

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... True. Just don't like that Contis are my only choice for OEM size.

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! Great minds....

I like number 2 above. It would be nice to see the stop light without having to bend over. Lowering the seat would be great.

I like number 4 above. It would be neat to have disc brakes on all four wheels.

It would be nice if the Pure had the electric windows standard. Since it is a narrow car and I have a wide body, it is not easy to roll up or down the windows.

A double pivot rear view mirror so I can see over folded cabrio top. At 5'7" I am not tiny, just not tall! and I too would like a tilt wheel to allow easier entry and exit from the vehicle.

That's to you. No two people are built the same, y'know.

Why do people insist on measuring other peoples' performance criteria by their own experience? Disc brakes are in general more reliable and have superior performance than drum brakes.

Just because *you* don't rallye or gymkana or otherwise push the performance boundaries of your car doesn't mean no one else does.

(...And notice how the word is spelled, okay? B-R-A-K-E-S.)

It is like an autocross. A timed event through a course marked by plastic cones. Like a road race course for one car at a time.
