How i would have made Saints Row IV better (SPOILERS)

honestly, i love Saints Row IV, it's a really fun game. but the fact is, i can see why it's so bad in the eyes of some people, and i kind of feel it too, so, i just thought i'd post a little something here about how i would have made Saints Row IV better:
1. superpowers are good, but not when it completely gets rid of any reason to have cars. so to give cars a purpose in this game, i would have made it so that kinzie can hack the simulation to make sure that any cars you get into would have a super-boost, so you could have super powered cars that can drive at superspeed or up walls, or even hover over any 3000 mile drop that could easily exploderize you, and be really super strong. this would also help to include more in-depth car customization, adding new features like add-on weapons or super-abilities.
2. a revamped city, to make everything new, one of the biggest complaints is that it's exactly the same steelport with just copy-and-pasted towers, so i would have kept the towers in because i can honestly say, i love super-powering up those towers, it is quite satisfying, but i would have given them a bit of variety. but back to the city, i would have revamped the city like they did stillwater between saints row 1 and 2, just so that i could be excited to see new sights in a city i know.
3. superpowered aliens, i know they already had that, but it was just a special type of alien, i would have had them ALL superpowered just to give the player a challenge, because once you'd pissed them off, they'd come after you, you'd Pwn them in the face with your super-sexy alien rifle, or your superpowers, then you'd just superjump away from the scene and they'd try to keep up with you, but your superjump and your superspeed means that if they spawn just up the street from you, you're already halfway across the city by then, i'd have liked to see that with the aliens because it just felt that they were there to just annoy you, and half the time, they were so insignificant i just completely forgot they were after me.
4. the common complaints, more in-depth customization. sure, they did include some new things, and things that didn't make it into saints row the third, but, it was still the same customisation method, which was downgraded from saints row 2. in saints row IV, whatever clothes you wanted to wear, you couldn't add another bit of clothing onto it or mix clothing, you just had to get your torso clothes or your trousers as one big clump. so i would have returned mixing and adding clothes to saints row IV
these are the few main things i wished to address about saints row IV, but despite the problems, i still have lots of fun playing it. and i get that having aliens in the game was quite honestly one of the biggest leaps to EVER happen to a game series, and i'm kind of let down about it, but i don't really care about it that much, it doesn't spoil the game for me. so what did you think of my "how i would have made better" post? should i do more?
