Default Well, they're not cheap but, boy, are they beautiful....

If you could swing a custom order minus the wheels and seats there wouldn't be a queston about it. I would still go for it.

BTW, the 17" wheels w/ that package are very nice.

Default Yup...absolutement!...but....

I had to replace a blown headlight globe in my A4 yesterday..cost me $9... I shudder to think what it'll cost if I need to do the same in my TT.

Default If you're getting a roadster, you'll love the heated seats (I'm in CA too)

The heated seats are fantastic when driving at night with the top down. I pop the top whenever it's not raining.... no matter how cold it is!

Plus, if you don't get the heated seats, you have two nonfunctional ***** on the dash... that's worth $1500 alone... /;^D

And my premium package cost 1650 I think... don't remember exactly but $1500 doesn't sound quite right.

Default Seeing is believing. However, there's a down side - nice guys like me (really!) feel guilty....

....about being flashed by oncoming traffic. I know they're self-levelling, but I wonder if mine are adjusted maybe just a tad too high. I'm going to mention it to the dealer next time I'm there. As for heated seats - superfluous to requirements here in FL, but they're part of the package. And the premium package 5-spoke wheels kind of grow on you, especially when it's time to clean them! (which is almost daily until I replace the OEM brake pads).

All of the above IMHO of course,

Default I'm in CA, too, and...

...I'm kinda wishing I had heated seats, 'cause as far as I'm concerned, any day with at least a moderate amount of sun is a "top down" day for me >;^)
and heated seats would sure keep me (and my new friends) a lot warmer. Also, I don't think that $1500 for xenon headlights are worth it. I've driven with both, and (maybe it's an LA climate thing) I didn't see enough of a difference to warrant the extra $. Sure, they look cool, but you'll look cool enough behind the wheel of a TT, regardless of what headlights you have.

Just a thought.
