I would've said the auto 'box, paddles and air con are worth more than leather seats, certainly in terms of comfort and resale value anyway. I'd also consider the cruise option, it was worth every penny.

They are also expensive to replace if anything goes wrong, I learnt the hard way when I accidentally left a screwdriver in my back pocket and scratched up the base cushion, it cost £260 to replace.

I've finally sold my roadster so I might miss the heated seats come winter, I won't however miss the money I used to have to spend on it. I certainly won't be buying a new 4-2, I think they've ruined it.
