An engine (current car has electric motor)
Sliding windows, they went forward and back rather than up and down

No rear seat belts
A clutch

I still have a Renault 4 at my home in Portugal.

My friend restores them. Parts are getting harder to find but my god those things are mechanically indestructible.
