Really wish I had the blinds (electric blind for rear window).
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

I didn't realise the armrest was an option! I love the two stage position, very comfy for "cruisin' innit"

Seriously, you guys rate the armrest?!?! Single-handedly the worst optional extra available bar none.

The only reason to have one, was if you wanted a hidden phone prep... that's it

Wouldn't have a car without armrest - horses for courses, different stroke for different folks - I don't find it gets in the way but on a track day it can be moved

+1

I spec'ed it as it was an NCO, but I use it no more than twice a year on long French autoroute drives and for holding our coffee cups while we're in the Channel tunnel (I fitted the optional in-armrest cupholder).

When down it obstructs the handbrake and makes getting to the gear lever hellishly difficult.

My car was too good to turn down, but sadly doesn't have sat nav, does have ss+, black optics, auto boot, arm rest. Having no sat nav doesn't bother me as the car was the best one I looked at (looked at 14 others!!) I believe the sat nav isn;t that great anyway??

Depends what you're running. 2011 discs are a huuuge improvement over the 2007 ones I was using before.

Possibly may retro fit a sat nav in the future

Out of interest whats the difference? Just the accuracy of the roads etc or more features?
