Many of those features will add weight to the car, which will hurt fuel economy to some extent. It will also (slightly) reduce the already low performance of the car if you add much weight.

That said, it's pretty neat to try to make a very efficient vehicle nicer to be in.

Universal cruise control kits can be found in various catalogs, like JCW as was already mentioned. Similarly, there are universal kits for power windows, power door locks, and so on.

I would very very strongly recommend against trying to fit ABS onto the car. There are just too many ways for it to go wrong!
