Welcome to NAM and it truely depends on what is important to you. I went with 3 packages that pretty much covers anything that I want...plus I got the factory arm rest which works great if your tall like me...but if you are short then its almost useless. If there was one thing that I opted for that my MA suggested was sport seats. They are so worth it and if you have the funds the upgraded leather from there is awesome as well. I am sure others will chime in soon as well. Let us know your thoughts so far on what you like.

Welcome!

3 words. READ THE BOARDS!

I basically built my dream car on miniusa.com. Then took each spec and did a search here on NAM. Depending on what I read (knowing that most is opinion) I decided whether to keep it or go back and rebuild. Most things stayed the same but many changed.

From: In a state of confusion....
Have gone on a test drive yet? I would highly recommend it. A good dealer will have a bunch of different cars/features for you to try out. I also second getting the sports seats they make you feel pretty secure in the car driving on the twisties . I like the lumbar supports in them as well. I also didn't think I'd want the heated seats but they are great on a cold day or even if you have a bit of a twinge in your back. I have an S and love the pep and handling the car has. I have stated elsewhere that I have never felt this way about a car before but I hope you take some time and do the research to become another total devoted MINIAC!!!

Definitely test drive one. Chances are you will put your order in within days... Of course after going through a bagillion different configurations at miniusa.com
