Sport exhaust, unless you are looking to get an aftermarket exhaust afterwards.

Heated seats - godsend in fall/spring.

Wind deflector - keeps the wife happy.

Well my choice would be ventilated and heated seats, convenience package, light design package, sport design steering wheel, anti-dazzle mirrors, sport chrono.

I'm envious. You better share pics when you get this beast. :D

I like having Sport Plus with PDK for the fastest shifts, if you plan on driving it like a manual the sport wheel with the paddle shift is another option I'm enjoying. Sport exhaust is nice as you can select when you want it to be louder but if you always want it to sound loud aftermarket is a better price offering.

The light design pack just adds mood lighting on the food well area and additional lights on the overhead console.
