Meh, I don't even have a car anymore.
But coming from a Chysler Neon I want something that corners better, like for instance a Mercedes Sprinter.

I've got a 1.6 1997 astra, hardly the most luxurious car in the world. But I've fitted a sports interior, cruise control, electric mirrors, trip computer, illuminated grab handles.. there's more I'm sure 
But I'd love to have AC, that's the biggest thing, and maybe a C25XE

Only thing I can think of would be an integrated bluetooth/nav, but I bought a $30 gadget that links to my phone through bluetooth and transmits audio through FM so I probably have a more versatile solution through that.
Maybe a roof rack for my surfboards but I can fit my shortboard in with the front seat back so that's not an issue
*edt*
Actually with the summer coming up it being a convertible, maybe get the angle grinder out

The ability to properly switch off traction control - not the ability to "switch it off", only for it to switch back on when the car looses traction, lol.
6th gear seems a common want...I've just got my first car with one, granted it's only a diesel octavia but 2000rpm @70mph is nice. The cruise control is handy too.
My next car will have at least 6 cylinders, RWD and a convertible roof, other features be damned

Cruise control, heated windscreen and up to date disc for my sat nav! Sat nav I could sort but CBS, other two are wishes.

Hmmm
17" Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's with GD Eagle F1 tyres
Eibach springs
TTE back box and custom centre section
Apex'i intake
Double Din head unit with sat nav
Oh and a tard cannon so if anyone goes anyone near it, its automatically kills them

Oh thought of something, I would like that new-fangled radar cruise control and lane assist that keeps you in the right lane and a certain distance from the car in front, would mean I could put my feet up and read a good book on the trips to Bakersfield
I don't want anything extra on my car at all.
Actually, saying that, another 100BHP wouldn't go amiss
Heh, I'd be happy just having 100BHP in the first place.
My car is pretty good on the extras front with cruise control, USB/iPod integration, auto folding mirrors, climate control, bluetooth, voice control and all sorts of other guff I'll likely never use. However despite all the other junk, it has a leather interior and doesn't have heated seats which is somewhat annoying. I'd also like a heated steering wheel as although it's a bit gimmicky, a cold wheel in the winter months does suck. Not too keen on integrated satnav myself as it always seems to be a ridiculously overpriced extra and the map updates also seem to be significantly more expensive than they would be for a TomTom or whatever. If it was available as an option at a sensible price then I'd definitely go for it though.

Six gears and a bit more poke.
