I had heated mirrors and automatic headlights on my Chevy S-10. I miss those features quite a bit and would love to see them on the "E".

Gosh... am I doomed to rebut everyone's suggestions? :wink:

So here's a vote against automatic headlights. I've hated them on every car I've driven with 'em. I will turn them on when I want them on.

Seriously, there are going to be a lot of "wish list" items that are purely matters of taste or personal preference. In some instances (especially on GM cars), these "features" are crammed down your throat whether you want them or not, likely in response to consumer wish lists that fail to consider that some people may not want the feature(s). Since I'm a "less is more" kind of guy, I don't want this prospective request list to Honda to not have any representation from the "rather not have" point-of-view.

What about heat seats and rain sensing wipers

One thing I noticed about honda. It may not have a lot of those "flashy" features other cars have but when you think of it, it is more that is going to break down the road. I'll stick to simple.

Auto-off headlights would be really nice. I left mine on one time and had to have someone give me a jump which was quite difficult because I was blocked on 3 sides and you cannot shift into neutral when the battery is dead (that I know of). There were a lot of E's w/ dead batteries on the lot I bought mine from as well, I suspect the lights to be the cause.

Heated mirrors? No, just something kinda expensive to fix if it broke, IMHO. Automatic lights? Yeah, I had them on my 2001 CRV and liked them.

Yes, yes, yes on auto headlights! I killed my battery the first week I had my E. Pure carelessness on my part, I know, but, as my DH said "For $20,000 I would have expected automatic headlights.."
