If you could change one thing on your daily driver what would it be?

My daily is a 17 Hyundai SantaFe. I wish I could change the programming on the transmission. In the normal mode I think it tends to lug a bit. 50 mph up a slight incline and it is running about 1,550 rpm. If I place it in the sport mode it stays in the lower gears at much higher rpm than I like. Somewhere in the middle of all this would be perfect for normal driving.
 
5.0 - Have the stereo stay paused after shutdown. No option found to not have stereo play upon restart.
4R - Would like to have a rear view camera. It was about the only option that didn't come with it.
 
2003 Civic EX. 185k miles. Interior is in great shape, exterior is butt ugly. Faded, peeling paint, cracked windshield, two broken exterior door handles. It gets me to work reliably every day. Functionally, there's nothing I'd change. But if I could choose one thing, it's hard to say. I'd like the windshield replaced. But it's not critical (yet). I'd love a new paint job and door handles so the exterior looks as good as the interior. But again, not critical. Maybe get the crank seal fixed (it leaks). I have to add about 1 qt every 2000-3000 miles and I'm pretty sure most of that is coming out of the crank seal. Another one is a bluetooth capable stereo so I could listen to music from my phone over the car speakers. None of these are that important. It serves its purpose of getting me to and from work every day reliably.
 
2020 Ford Ranger and I'd like to have the locking axle.
When I bought it it was the only Ranger the dealer had but it was almost exactly what I was going to order anyway, even the color was right. Doesn't have the locker I would have got and has the bed liner I would passed on but otherwise it's exactly what I wanted.
