Its easy to argue, well I’ve got this and that in my current car so I need it in my new one and get carried away. The car before our X1 had 360 degree cameras, the cost of adding them on the X1 was a lot – so we did without. Do we miss them? – yes occasionally but not £20 a week’s worth. Same with other stuff. We tried to look at what we needed, not what we wanted. We wanted a panoramic roof on the new car until we test drive one and found only the rear seat passengers benefit so why spend another £1000. At the end of the day. It’s a different car – it will have different features some better some worse. A high AP is like rent – at the end of the lease there’s nothing to show for it!
Wigwam – Completely agree about the panoramic sunroof. I think I’ve said this to you before, but we have had one on two cars (including our current Tiguan) as standard kit but would never pay extra for one. When you are sat in the front of the car you cannot even see it. They are only beneficial for rear seat passengers (which we rarely have) and act as a greenhouse in the summer, even with the blind closed. The biggest advantage is the extra light that they let in, especially with a black interior, but we tend to go for light interiors. I think you are wise to save your money.
