Welcome to the FTOC!

Couple of others I would add and a few other bits you might like to consider (depends on the model and colour you are going with):

Stainless pedal pack
Upper environment in alcantara (Suede)
Sun visors with vanity mirrors
Car cover
CTEK charger (not the Jag one - buy direct)
Assuming it is a 6 and not a V8, then the design rear diffuser
Super Performance brake package
20'' Wheels
Black pack
Powered tailgate
Sports carpets (cheaper than the other type)

FWIW, I have had early cars with both the 380 and the 770W systems. I would say that the 380W one was sufficient, however on out new MY16, the Meridian issues seem to have been ironed out, and it sounds brutal, but then again it's just a stereo!

I didn't go with the Vis pack, as I thought it was a bit gimmicky, had smart key as well, but didn't bother on our latest model.

There you go, bit of food for thought....

Welcome.

I have the following:

Parking Pack
Memory Seat Pack
Panoramic Roof

and they are all worth having.

I can't say that I miss these, but then again this is a weekend toy, not an every day car for me.

Visibility Pack
Performance Seats
Dual-Zone Climate Control (depends how often you have two people in the car)
Meridian 380W

I also like the Blind-Spot detectors.

Thanks !

Parking pack = essential.
Pano Roof = also good when waiting at traffic lights!
Heated seats = if you're going to use the car on chilly winter mornings.
Heated screen = if you're going to use the car on chilly winter mornings (alternatively you can just use the remote start).

I have the standard sound system, which is good enough.

The memory seats are probably good if you change drivers often (also comes with the dipping mirror). But it seemed like a lot of money to avoid me having to move a seat occasionally back and forwards.

My car came with the standard floor mats when delivered.

I'd also have the side sill extensions now, which I think are part of the black/design pack

And the service packs are good value.

There is only one option I wish I'd gone for
The electric tailgate.

The problem is the manual version only opens fully, which in my garage hits the garage roof, so I end up using one hand to hold the tailgate partially open, and the other putting stuff in the boot.

I believe on the electric version you can set it to stop opening part way up.

I know very much a first world problem.

I did not select any pack, I chose each option individual individually.
Radar and rear camera
Memory seats to get all the adjustments and the diping side mirror
Sport seats as I wanted a camel interior
Panoramic roof is a real saviour if you are tall as the upward visibility is poor
Mirrors in the sun shades
Automatic windscreen wipers came standard on my AWD
Stainless steel pedals and foot rest
Bluetooth to connect phones or media players

I think that it sums up my feelings.


I regret not taking the keyless entry

I'm glad I did not take
- the NAV system (which also meansend you do not get a CD Player at it is essential the NAV system's hard drive! !!
- the Meridian system
- the active exhaust button

We had this Paul on our first V8. We left it off the options list on the R as it was just pointless IMO as we always use the key fob even when it's in our pocket to unlock the car.
