Entirely up to you – however you order this thing, it is going to be a great car. The options do add up quickly though.

My .02:

I would consider the Bose essential as it seems to be the general consensus that sound quality sucks on the lesser stereo offerings.

The Xenons are nice – you might be driving fast, and good lights are a must

Auto Climate control and Nav were options I thought I could do without and saved quite a bit of money – especially nav gets expensive. My $500 Garmin works great and I can move it to the wife’s car, rental cars, etc…

Also, I did not opt for the 6 speed. At least for 2005, the gearing between the two were almost identical through gear 4, then fifth gear in the 5 speed was very similar to 6th gear in the 6 speed – basically the same ratios throughout, but the 6 speed offered an extra acceleration gear way up high. I figured without the autobahn nearby and the fact that my car would see little track time, I wouldn’t even notice missing that one gear.

let us know what you wind up doing - and congrats on your purchase!
