Buying used the trade off is a newer car vs. lower miles. I picked low miles, and haven't regretted it. In terms of options the car is perfect stock, everything else is just nice to have. I wouldn't even consider traction control an essential option (except door speakers, you need those).

It all depends on what you want/need. If you have to ask, you probably don't need it.

If you plan to drive it in 50F weather with the top down, heated seats are highly recommended.

Wind Blocker. Can be added afterward purchase but its pricey.

I also like upgraded stereo with either DSP or Bose.

Litronics for the pretty eyes.

Heated seats for those cold morning drives with the top down.
