Payless Car Rental: Experiences of model options in Compact/ Economy category? Advise

On a compact/ economy category weekly / bi weekly booking rental out off Off-Site SFO lot.
I received a (I think its 2013) Nissan Versa - White - 11.5k Miles. Seems decent.

From some fueleconomy.gov its probably pretty good in terms of Mileage - 31 City / 50 Highway. On the fuel economy list for regular gasoline based vehicles, it's only topped by Toyotas, Hondas and Scions and Ford Fiesta 2014 in terms of mileage

Note: Since I need to do almost daily 25-30 x 2 miles commute for 3-4 weeks for starters it might be good to have a fuel friendly car.
I am guessing daily fuel burn to be 3-4$ x 2 ?? based on gas mileage.

This Versa doesn't have the following, but it would be nice to have if possible since I'm doing long term rental:
- USB Charger
- Car Bluetooth
- Steering Audio controls

What would be other/ better options that I might be able to SWAP and get from PAYLESS in the same or just above category without changing or paying extra?

I am not trying to or want to swindle them or something.. so please lets not get on a moral debate.

What are the EQUIVALENT options in the PAYLESS FLEET?
What could I ask for / request from them?

PS: The driver seat recline is busted and wont adjust so I will have to go in for a swap anyways.
