Hi folks,
I think I've almost decided on a final spec. I was all set to go Crayon, then white... but we have white just now and it probably makes sense to change.
At the moment we have Lane assist, Lane departure warning and keyless entry, none of which I intend to spec on the GTS as I haven't been bothered about them at all.
For me the most important options have been 18 way seats, adaptive cruise, panoramic roof and bose. I've added a few over and above that like Sport Chrono.
I'm hoping these cars will hold a decent value in future, do you think the options I've went for are sensible with that in mind?

Critique my GTS build
Nice build
The only things I’d personally take out are:
- interior package in black (high gloss). The GTS comes with a nice black aluminium you can’t optio. On any other cars. Looks nice as well, better than gloss
- smartphone compartment with wireless charging. This is flaky at best and you need to move your phone around to make it work. Bit of a fad and defo not worth the money
- BOSE speakers. I’ve compared both standard and BOSE and the difference is not enough to warrant the £ in my opinion. The burmester is the one to get for audio quality but way to expensive. Personally I’d save he money.
I would get the GT sports heated wheel, think it’s around £380. Nice wheel and heated so you can remove the heated steering wheel option you added. So the difference is just another £200
If UK based, I’d add heated windscreen
If possible and if budget allows I’d go for full extended leather (£1k ish) or if alcantara is a must then deviated stitching in red to match paint, by doing so you get the full leather on the glove compartment, centre console and doors.

Oh it’s funny you mentioned that trim as I saw it in a German video on YouTube but I couldn’t find it on the configurator, that explains it haha

The standard stereo is excellent as is.
GT wheel is great too.
PDLS plus I'm not sure on the value of that.
The extended leather is a great shout though.
Read the subject of the post - he is asking for a critique. So that’s what he will get from the multitude of opinions

This was my other option exterior wise, most people seem to prefer it that I speak to?!

Yep I’m more than happy to have some food for thought slung my way, I’ve still got about 3 months until my spec is locked in and it’s interesting to see what other people deem as essential spec. Unfortunately there’s not enough crash to throw absolutely everything on it I’d like so I have to be selective.

If you can get away with red then that’s classic GTSjonnydrama wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:28 am A8EA1A2B-C092-427E-828F-16554E69D6E6.pngThis was my other option exterior wise, most people seem to prefer it that I speak to?!
