Just thought I would add my two-penny-worth...
I have had my (saloon) car for a couple of months now and have got to grips with the options:
1. I wish I had gone for the Sport Auto Box - it is a good and cheap option.
2. The standard lights are excellent and for general use just fine. I don't have to drive on country roads at night very often though...
3. It is true that the privacy glass looks slightly odd on the rear windows only. However, the cooling properties make it well worth having.
4. The folding mirrors are great. I do have to park in narrow streets occasionally and the reduction in risk of someone knocking them off is worth the price. If you had to replace a standard mirror, it would still cost a fortune.
5. 17" wheels provide a great, comfortable ride. You really can't see much difference when compared to only 18". Tyres might be a bit cheaper too (?).
6. DAB is fantastic for me - I like "Planet Rock" !
7. The light interior colours DOES add to the spacious feel.

That's it. It is ALL down to personal taste and what you actually value.
