Cruise control! Ever since I had it in my Fabia Vrs, I would not spec a car without it. Very handy for motorways and all the average speed cameras that are popping up everywhere.

Cruise control and parking sensors - always specced them where possible on past cars.

Well all of them that i have specced tbh, when spending a lot of money on a car i never wanna skimp on options you will only regret it in a few months when your lost (satnav), got a dent in your bumper (parking sensors), get court driving whilst using your phone etc etc
things like the 19" Luganos and sunroof are just somthing that sets your apart from a lot of the others that out atm
My car is now for sale, for just £16,000, fair price so please no silly offers :)

Leather and the Dynaudio for me, I hate cloth seats and I always have my music on in the car.

+1 :yes:

Though the RNS510 satnav is v. useful. I would have taken bluetooth if it wasn't for the fact the VW has such limited compatibility. Ended up buying a Parrot Slimkit as temporary measure, though not sure I use the car and phone together enough justify cost of the fiscon alternative...

Leather is nice. Cooled leather seats like in the Passat CC would have been nice...

Having just got back from an Oxford-Newcastle-Oxford trip this weekend, cruise control is a great boon, especially through the average speed roadworks, Just get to the requested speed and turn it on, then I sit in the inside lane, bang on the limit or 1mph below and I don't have to worry about getting nabbed. It's great when the road is clear too, just set it on what you want to cruise at and relax :)

The parking sensors are great for me too as I'm a bit rubbish at reversing!
