I've had 2 mk6 GTIs, my first was a very early 2009 car deliberately bought with no options as I wanted to retro-fit everything I wanted as a project. Partly to keep costs down and partly for the hell of it.
The second car was bought because the first car didn't have xenons and they were going to be a nightmare to fit.
So, from my experience I'd say xenons both make the car in the looks department and are very very useful. LED tails likewise.
I now have Dynaudio, I could happily live without it and am not speccing it on my next car (mk7 on order). Any improvement is drowned out by the tyre noise at sensible volumes.
I test drove a car with ACC and have quite happily lived without it for the last nearly four years. If a car came with it then fine but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
Nav is very good but rare on a new car due to cost. However it is easily and fairly cheaply retro-fitted.
18's make the car. And most come with that option.
Parking sensors are one thing my car doesn't have and I half wish it did but it's only about £200 to get a set fitted from VW.
Rear camera a nice gimmick and again can be retro-fitted for about £300
Late cars have DAB which is great for people like me who mostly listen to the radio. I retro-fitted a DAB unit into my car and am glad I did.
Sunroof? Well, a nice but a rare option.
Bluetooth standard on very late cars, my car has it and although it's not something I ever thought I'd use I actually find it useful at times. Easily retro-fitted.
Leather; my first car had cloth and my second has leather. I like both. I think I prefer the cloth.
