Options

Is Winter Pack worth the £355 ?

[JoeGTI]

The keyless option is the one I am most happy with. It adds a nice premium effect to the car. Not having to fanny about with the key to get in and start the damn thing is so pleasing. Would recommend this as an option over anything else.

Sorry if this confuses your options again

Agreed. I'd have it ahead of the camera no question.

No options are worth the money. They are luxury items that may enhance your ownership experience but are unnecessary. If you can afford it then go for it. Your effectively paying the money for heated seats and that's about it.

It's not the best value option on the list, but if you want heated seats then you have to make the call, nobody else can (or indeed should) decide for you!  I went for it as I want to be kept warm in winter.

CraigW is kinda' right, but I disagree on some things like the camera and park assist that if specced, are cheap, effective options.  Taking it further, the entire car is a luxury so I just look at options as part of the cost of the car and be done with it.

  We are never going to agree on this camera subject. If your fit, healthy, can look behind you and the DVLA have agreed that you can reverse park (i.e. by giving you a license) then you don't need a camera

Haha!   

I didn't say you need a camera.  It's nice to have, just like the entire car is nice to have.  Is not about being unable to look behind you, or about reverse parking.  It's just convenient to be able to see exactly what is behind you when reversing as opposed to the usual restricted view.

Every option can be argued for or against by those who bought or chose not to!  Far from not needing a camera, I don't see why anybody would need pro nav over basic nav (or being pedantic, any form of nav at all). Rinse, and repeat!

It's the same old-same old.  At the end of the day, I doubt any of us can say we actually "need" any of the options, so it comes down to what you would like, and are happy to compromise on with respect to your budget.  Certain things like pro nav, leather, pano roof, and 19s were struck off the list straight away in my case.  After adding the performance pack due to comments made on here, I promptly took it off as it would just feel like a grand down the drain.  Each unto their own, right?!

[MM087]

I guess I will see what difference it makes to the PCP and make my decision based on that

Hmmmm

Gryzor and I have our moments.

Gryzor thinks he has picked the right options. I think I have picked the right options. We argue until we both agree that I was right all along and then Gryzor forgets and it begins again
