Add on extras you couldn't do without on future cars?

[p3asa]

My dealer is being a bit funny about me adding any further extras even although I only ordered my car 2 weeks ago. He said I couldn't as it would set my delivery back. I'm toying between a couple more extras and might go and see him in person.

Are there any extras folk have ordered that they now wouldn't be without on any future cars?
Or like wise wouldn't really order again if they had the choice?

Cheers.

Options I always order on my new cars where available are automatic gearbox, heated seats and sunroof. I have all three on the GTI and don't regret them.

Popular options which are of less use, IMHO (having previously had them) include xenon lights & leather.

Xenons!! You cant go back after!

Wish i had rns510, the mk6 doesnt come with the recaros but they are a must for me!

Xenons as Jules said.. not sure how im gonna go back to normal lights

but the most important bit of kit is the rns-510.... simply awsome!!  (but i wouldnt spec it )

[keelaw]

No regrets as yet but then again I haven't got my car yet

I think any upgrade to the rcd310 is essential for looks alone and the 18 inch alloys

One slight regret is the lux pack as folding mirrors don't work on the key fob, but hey it was cheap.

Other regrets would be (if I ordered them) the leather(the cloth is more special), sat nav (just too expensive) and heated seats (no need in london).

18" alloys - a must for looks - the 17s just don't look right and make the car look pikey

xenons - a must for visibility and also for looks - once you have them you'll never go back

leather - a must (for me) as its easier to clean (and looks better)

upgrade your stereo - you can live without this (but if you get it you won't go back lol)

and if you add stuff to your order it won't put your order back so don't worry about that!

and heated seats (no need in london).

Yeah im always boiling in the winter! London stays a mild 20 degrees throughout after all!

lol just what I was thinking Jules . . .

My heated seats are a godsend in the winter mornings.

Have to disagree there, mate: xenons look cool from the outside, but having owned 3 cars with xenons, I can't honestly say they helped me see the road any better than with good halogen bulbs.

Honestly, what a load of tosh.
