Ordering my new car next week and totally undecided on how to spec it.
I was thinking of going for a cloth interior as if i get leather i want heated leather and it soon all adds up. Also contemplating a comfort pack as that included auto lights and wipers, cruise control and front parking sensors. Not sure if i should funk the comfort pack off and plump for the leather though. Spoilt with my current Audi that has full heated leather, a comfort pack and loads of other extras as it was ex demo.
Only thinks i am set on at the moment is larger optional wheels, a ipod cable and bluetooth.

what car is it
I have had leather in the past 2 cars - last one had heated seats current one doesnt and in all honesty I havent missed them as your body heat tends to wwarm the leather quite quickly
I tend to get leather as it allows to have a different colour to black as black is so dull so it depends on what colours are available
I would also spec auto wipers there great for drizzle conditions and also parkign sensors and cruise etc so if that comes in a comfort pack then get it
sounds like an audi your getting as they offer a pack like that

right you many options
Go part leather
You get parking sensors for the rear as standard so just get Auto wipers and cruise
Leather for sure as you can get lemon lether or coral red if its a coupe
Why not get a 120D and get them all as its more than quick enough

You have to get Coral Red Leather if its a BMW. Looks awesome IMO and it's the same price as the black leather.

I don't have them on mine but if you can afford it why not. The rear window is quite high in mine so would be handy having parking sensors.
In my Corsa I could back that thing up within millimetres of a wall and no exactly how much I had spare

I never use the heated seats. Hate the feel of it on a cold day, it's like you've pissed yourself

My car will be as follows:
Alpine white,
Coupe,
18" wheels,
123D i think although as someone said i could get a 120D and everything instead!,
M-sport comes with rear parking sensors as standard.

I'd rather have a fully loaded 120D than a few options on a 123D. It's a car for comfort not speed.

Parking sensors are good, we have them in the jeep, makes reversing a lot easier.
It has cruise control and I think its only been used once! Don't like it at all. You can feel the car speeding up and slowing down trying to keep a constant speed Its very annoying!

i would be going fro 120D with Coral red leather
123D is a cracking motor but you will get 80% of the 123D power available and the rare times you can use it doesnt warrent it especially when you could have a few other options

Leather is £990 in any colour,
Heated seats are £260,
Comfort pack is £475 (auto lights, wipers, front parking sensors extended storage, more cup holders, auto rear view dimming mirror, cruise control) Its £215 for cruise, £90 for auto lights and wipers, £210 for parking sensors at the front, £90 for the extended storage on there own.
Now from that list all my Audi has is the Auto lights and wipers which is only £90 on its own and that auto dimming rear mirror which comes with the M-sport. So i am now thinking fuck the comfort pack off and get the auto lights and wipers and then add the Leather instead without heating.
