Centre armrest
Touch screen head unit.
Alloy wheels (but possibly replicas rather than overpriced VW ones)
I dont think any options are a 'must have', in the way that say, NAV and leater are a 'must have' on a 5 series, but they'd certainly be nice to haves for me. Others i like are
cruise control
rear view camera
Convenience pack
flat tyre indicator
Fixed price service plan
front fog lights

I assume you are toalking about a new car? If so the 1.6 TDi engine is designed for economy rather than performance and as such is pretty good, I think around 60mpg is achievable. Maintenance costs will vary by dealer, find a good local expert and it will be reasonable.
There is a three year fixed price servicing plan available for £250 on new cars. If the car is going to be new i'd strongly recommend doing it. As you say, outside of warranty, any local expert would be best.

Leather steering wheel is a must have option if your buying new, the standard plastic one is cheap and nasty.
Yes I saw on at a local VW dealer with the plastic wheel and gear knob. I cannot believe VW charge a premium and don't even give you a leather or fake leather look steering wheel as standard. Kevin VRs said:

60mpg doesn't sound that great though - a friend has just got a Fabia vRS, and he's been getting around 55mpg out of a 130bhp car ....
