New or used mk7?
The only “must have” I can think of is a PedalBox from DTUK or similar importer which you add yourself anyway. Without it you’ll wonder where the extra 100 horses are much of the time.
Spec wise all the essentials are covered in the newer cars. Even the early ones had all the basics. Depends on what you want from the car.
As for tyre noise. If you get Bridgestones they’re noisy! Contis are quite noisy too. There’s a good few of us on here who had mk6’s previously and I’d say road noise was probably similar between them.
