Yes, because it's a company car and tax on a manual is much less (nearly ?100 a month). Otherwise I'd get the auto, or SMG if available (sadly not).

Wow, more tax on an automatic than on a manual?

For me the sport seats, included as part of the sport package, are great. I do not think that the comfort seats are worth the extra bucks over sport seats.

If I remember correctly, this is the order in which we decided on the options:

0) TiSilver
1) Light Grey Interior
2) Anthracite (car came with Poplar-it was already at the port)
3) Steptronic
4) Premium
5) Sport
6) Adaptive Xenons
7) Parking Distance Control
8) Logic 7
9) Active Cruise Control
10) Fold Down Rear Seats (car came with this)
11) Sat. Prep (car came with this)
12) Custom Clear Bra (this was installed within a week)

NAV and HUD weren't available. I would have ordered them.
I should have ordered the side/rear power shades and the comfort seats. Cold package isn't really a concern in So. Cal. I will put sheepskin seat covers to keep warm when traveling to the mountains occaisionally and for more comfort. No kids so rear heated seats aren't a concern.
