Just had a conversation with my gf and I realised that the Bose I specced on my BGTS was basically completely unnecessary. We're not big music fans, we basically only listen to radio 4 and classic FM. And besides all that, at cruising motorway speeds when we're most likely to have something playing, the general noise in the cabin from tyre roar etc almost certainly negates any advantage Bose may give. Thankfully, that's the only option I properly regret adding, although the PDLS+ upgrade runs it a very close second given that the car is not a DD and I'ved used it once in 6 months.

I'd probably just save my £1200 or whatever it was for the Bose and PDLS+, but if I had to spend (some) of the cash on something else it would have gone on auto folding wing mirrors, or if I was feeling flush and added to the fund, radar cruise control.

While we're at it, the best VFM options I have found on my car, in no order:

1) front and rear park assist (without camera!) - we live in London and parallel park lots!
2) bucket seats and GTS interior - mega money between them but makes the interior feel like that of a car twice the price for me
3) PSE - okay, standard on the GTS trim level but you know what I mean
