I think the main reason why the versa doesn't have a lot of the fancy features is because, it wouldn't be as affordable as the cars in its class. Trust me I wish they made a versa se-r with the 2.5L 200hp motor, with navigation, climate control, rear disc brakes, bigger factory wheels, you name it. But then it would be way up over the 20k mark.
However. It wish it came standard with a watertemp gauge, outside temp, everything you have listed in #2.
