i will not own a car without a sunroof. i am so glad this isnt even an option! i use it DAILY. i am one of those weird people that use stuff others dont, like firplaces.

You're not alone Craig, I use my sunroof daily too - what ELSE is SoCal known for anyway? (not women - they are MUCH hotter in Miami, trust me).

My eyes tend to water from the direction the wind comes from when the sunroof is open. Allergy issues. Plus, it's hotter than h e double tooth picks in the summer where I live.

Gotta Have - Wish I Had:

Heated Seats - cheap...this is a big one...for use in winter when sunroof is open.
iPod - cheap...only for the USB port (I have this)
Sunhades - cheap...helps protect the interior (don't have this)
Rear side airbags - cheap...you never know (don't have this)
Sunroof - use this everyday...would never want a car without one...I don't think you can get one without this (I have this)
Premium - (I have this)
Sport - (I have this)
Navigation - (I have this)

Don't Care Anything About Having:

Automatic Transmission - I can't stand the car deciding when the gears will change
Heads Up Display -
Logic 7 - I really don't listen to the stereo
Comfort Access - don't know much about this
6-Disc CD changer - no brainer here...USB/ipod is where it's at
High Beam Assist
Lane Assist

Must haves (in no particular order):

Why bother
- Night Vision (others may disagree but for me it was a total waste of money)

I wouldn't mind getting the Logic 7 sound system, all the other wants I have are coming via mods anyway so I am not at all displeased with my car.

mods can include stereo's. Add your own system, it will be a lot better than the logic 7. replace speakers, upgrade the subs, and replace the factory amp. Pretty easy stuff and you can get a lot better sound for a few hundred dollars.
