SoftClose doors is a must have if you got kids.
for the Lane Change warning, if you drive alot of motorways I get it.

It's an option where the boot closes by itself when you press a button and/or when you continuously hold the boot button on your keys! It's great because when you're carrying something and you want to close the boot, you can just press a button and the car closes it automatically! Awesome stuff!

What? Arrggh, I thought it was a new device from MI6 to follow suspicious cars.

Yes, that was the absolute must option which I already chose.

I would not bother with lane departure. It buzzes the wheel every time you go over a white line unless you indicate. So you either end of being obsessional over indicating, becoming desensitised to the vibration, or turning the thing off...

You raised very valid points.

The difference between these two systems:


Lane Departure Warning System - uses a camera to recognise whether the vehicle is threatening to stray outside the limits of the lane and alerts the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate.



Lane Change Warning System - detects vehicles in the driver?s blind spot and vehicles approaching at speed in the adjacent lane when the driver has activated the indicator in order to change lanes. The system alerts the driver by making the steering wheel
vibrate and by a visual warning on the exterior mirror.


I was actually more intrested in about hearing also comments from that Lane Change Warning System.

Lane Change Warning sounds like a great option especially here in the US where we do not get the fancy European mirrors. I would definitely order it for added safety on the highway while changing langes.

In the US the Driver Assistance Package includes Automatic High Beams, Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, and Parking Assistant.
