Best of all you are not paying for stupid technology (like the 20 different 'mood' lighting options in the new VW's). As for touch screens, don't get me started! It's illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving but apparently okay to be glued to a central touch screen when you want to adjust the radio or heating, or indeed your mood lighting. I would want the nearly black setting for Grumpy Old Man.
Plus - if you do want an option - say mood lighting for various occasions - you'll find that you can't have it without electric seats. And if you want just electrics seats, for some reason you're compelled to have keyless locking and the smoker's pack. Electric sunroof? - only if you have the special £2500 paint job. I saved a grand on my last new car because all the options I rather liked came with a further £1500 for things I did not - so I didn't bother with any of them.
