Nice pick, I'm afraid you would have regretted buying one of the other ones you were looking at since you had what you really wanted in mind. It took me 4 years to buy a MINI. I found an MC40 that I really liked but it was missing some options I wanted. I kept looking for the next 4 years and this one fell in my lap. It had what I wanted and I knew I could add the little things that it did not have later. Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride, it's an E ticket!

Those two options were important to me, and the marginal price difference will be unimportant over time.

Congrats on the new car! I live in Raleigh as well, it might not be as cold here as in some places but love my heated seats, you will be glad you ponied up for them. The sunroof on days like yesterday and hot summer nights is nice as well. Sounds like you made the right choice.
