What would it be?

I'd change mine so it didn't have such a huge thick A pillar. It creates a massive blind spot! The thing is about eight inches wide. (Vauxhall Zafira)oh and maybe get rid of the chance that it might carch fire

I wish it was real

MerryInthechelseahotel · 01/11/2018 16:52

I wish it was self cleaning

That the dog's crate can fit in the boot.

It's a massive boot but due to the angle of the tailgate and the new metal cargo divider I had installed, the crate now doesn't fit.

Was going to get a new one for the dog, fancy a crash tested one but need to drive to supplier to check it does fit cos at nearly £400 I need to check first Blush

So atm Ddog is in his pop up DogBag tent on the back seat. He's very good, hasn't complained once Grin

The colour.

HardAsSnails · 01/11/2018 17:00

Heated seats.

FrogFairy · 01/11/2018 17:12

Five doors rather than three, plus if possible make the seat, steering wheel and pedals a perfect fit for a short, fat person.

Watto1 · 01/11/2018 17:16

I'd magically make all the little scratches and scrapes disappear.

BeautyQueenFromMars · 01/11/2018 17:31

It would have parking sensors. My judgement is shocking not yet used to the size of the car.

Haberpop · 01/11/2018 17:32

I'd change the mileage, I've driven 10,000 miles in 5 months.

Allice · 01/11/2018 17:32

That it has heated seats like my old car, I miss them so much

exorcisingarrrgggghti · 01/11/2018 17:32

Make it newer?

Toddlerteaplease · 01/11/2018 18:07

Have stop start technology.

TowerRingInferno · 01/11/2018 18:26

I’d like it to be a bit newer. There’s nothing else I’d change though.

safariboot · 01/11/2018 18:30

The ride is too firm. I'm that person you hate who slows down to 5 mph for every speed hump because otherwise I'll get a back injury. I guess that's what I get for getting a 'Sport' model.

MiddlingMum · 01/11/2018 18:45

The colour. It's blue and I don't like it. I'd like it to be dark red please.

Catmint · 01/11/2018 18:57

I'd make it waterproof because it is inexplicably damp all the time.

LBOCS2 · 01/11/2018 19:23

Have the mirrors fold in automatically when I turn it off. I have to turn the car back on to do it 50% of the time, and it's annoying!

ragged · 01/11/2018 19:30

The colour. It's black. I am so not a black car person.
Love my little car in every other way.

EastMidsGPs · 01/11/2018 19:38

From a bog standard Ford Fiesta to a lovely Audi

jmh740 · 01/11/2018 19:43

I wish I had 5seats not 4

Ragwort · 01/11/2018 19:45

A CD player, I can’t cope with the ‘entertainment system’, I don’t want to down load music I just want to play my CDs Grin.

pinkmagic1 · 01/11/2018 19:47

The colour. Love my car but it is a boring silver and I would like it to be in that beautiful flip paint finish that is the colour of oil and water mixed.

RollerJed · 01/11/2018 19:47

Armchairanarchist we had to wait a couple of weeks for a manual, everyone drives an auto is Aus 🙄

We've just bought a new car and love it. It's exactly what we need for now and it was cheap brand new. Everytime we drive it dh and I marvel at it.

sodabreadjam · 01/11/2018 19:53

More efficient windscreen defroster and demister (Hyundai). DH has a Ford with a heated windscreen.

Apart from that I love it because it is small and easy to park.
