I am a pretty basic person... I don't understand why cruise control isn't at least an option, if not standard equipment.

1: A defeatable ABS/ESB/stability control switch would be nice. Try to plow out of some snow without wheelspin and u will want to be able to turn off the Nazi computer.
2: factory cruise
3: factory satellite stereo/gps (i know, the dealer offers it NOW)
4: a true automatic and/or manual transmission
5: factory arm rest
6: choice of rims/tire sizes
7: factory sunroof....the panoramic roof just makes me long to open the baby up a crack and not use the a/c all the time! no cabrio extra cost.
8: more than ONE 12v power port
9: lights in the footwells and rear cargo area
10: more powerful subwoofer
11: programmable LCD display (configure it to show h2o temp, speed, amps, individual wheel pressures, etc)
12: more standardized wheel sizes.... easier to buy rubber without going to the dealer
13: otherwise, its fine!

That`s what I`d want! The headroom is wasted on me anyway.

Maybe y'all should've bought a Miata? LOL (joking)
The smart is tall. It's a safety feature if you ask me, aside from sitting high, improving visibility and getting your head above most bumpers ... being tall makes the car more visible to other drivers.

I can't think of an improvement I haven't already made to my car. Better sound system, louder horn, cruise control. I do think those things should be offered as factory options.

I would just like the roof lowered a few inches, it`d have a much lower center of gravity and look more "sporty" I guess.
