Definitely would like to see a new/updated transmission, like the six speeds everyone else is using. I would prefer the front of the Yaris to be less beak-like. Push it in a little bit and cut out some of the overhang. Add some colors! Blue and grayscale are so bland. Move the USB/AUX out of the glove box and closer to the radio and then add a radio-side cubbie for easy storage.

1) A six speed manual with a whole lot less whine than the current 5sp box. Even a quieter 5sp would be an improvement.
2) Hinged, pop open rear side windows on the L model, actuated from the center console.
3) An on-off switch for the hatch light control, ie hatch open - courtesy light off.
4) Diesel engine.
5) Courtesy ear muffs to quell the myriad of rattles.
6) Lower roof profile.

Did you know that just to the left of the aux/USB input there is a secret cubby for your iPod? I have mine hidden in there and no one would know it..

Some way to defeat the hatch lamp would be nice, especially when tailgating or lengthy stereo install! Pop out windows on two doors would be cool too. My old 89 Civic Si hatchback had them and we used them all the time.

I have yet to hear any dash rattles from loose wiring.
