What features would you put in your metro to make it more luxurious? |

Nice front seats (leather) out of a Porsche or somesimilar and 60/40 rear seats Sunroof Heated mirrors, Rear Defroster, Rear wiper. Tilt steering wheel A drop-in locking dock for my droid. A better suspension. Lightweight aluminum body. A horn that didn't suck. (meep meep!) |

power steering, cruise control, heated leather, a heater fan that works on more than 1 speed "snail". |

Nevermind the power steering. I would settle for a window crank other then a vice grip:) |

mountaineer, I'm glad you said never mind the power steering, because mine has that feature, I consider it fairly unnecessary

Hey Bogs, lets trade the power steering for keyless entry with remote start. What do you think? |

I would really like comfy seats....possibly a small bench seat for the front. keyless start and locks would be very very nice. no oil leaks would be a good feature too. |

Yeah, what's the deal with terrible oil seals around the cam, crank, and distributor? At least they're easy to replace. |

Any system or feature that can make the engine more steady and very quiet will be enough for me. |

As stupid as this might seem: I'm actually trying to do that of sorts with mine. I'm planning on buying a LOT of sound deadening/insulation to do the whole interior. I'd also like to try to find a set of GTi seats and have them recovered with grey leather. I'd also like to install power windows and get a VERY nice sound system together. |
