I am very happy with the build does it have more than I need, probably but I have always wanted a car with no blanks where you are missing features I almost accomplished this but windshield heater button is blank but not avl in US.
It's too hot here in TX to need any heaters so I didn't bother with the cold weather package but did get the fancy mirrors as a standalone add on because I wanted the "anti dazzle" auto dimming functionality. I hate it when trucks get behind me at a traffic light and those bright headlights shine in my eyes via the side mirrors.

Part of me wishes I got some of the driver assist features but I had to make a cut somewhere. I am upgrading from a bare bones R50 so my current car has no cruise control, no bluetooth, nada. So it'll be a good upgrade.

Do you like the dynamic dampers? I like the fact that I will be able to adjust the ride quality because sometimes my passengers complain about the stiffness of the ride of my current car.

Judges still out on Driver Assist I like that it shows speed limit on the HUD, I used the cruise for like 30 sec to check it out, but it does show a red car when you should be hitting your brakes but not tested the collision mitigation yet (gladly). I don't know if it is worth 1k but some things are nice about it.

Heated seats a must in MO during the winter.

Dampers are nice and you can def tell the difference between Green/mid mode and Sport mode. Gets stiff and you can feel every little bump in the road and it feels nice when spirited drive.

I am pretty happy with all the features I chose, driver assist is the only thing I would really have to drive one without to see if I missed it. I would def miss HUD, bigger screen/HD, and all the parking sensors (I think part of park assistant since all around the car). Sensors really nice for a car I am not used to that sits pretty low and can def rip up the front on a curb, pretty cool onscreen too.

I got the HUD and the backup camera/sensor options as well. I think my HUD will display speed limits just like yours. I think one difference is that my backup camera and sensors will only show objects behind me but will not show how close I am to an object in front of me like yours. I kinda wished I had the front sensors but it was another $1000. I will have regular cruise control but it won't show me how close to follow or have collision avoidance auto braking.
