Comfort is really handy for when your parents want a ride, or if your wife doesn't like sporty cars like mine doesn't.

It used to be called SILK Nappa leather. IT is very smooth. Don't know if I would describe it as soft. But it is thicker and more luxurious than the Dakota leather used on the BMW 3 series. That stuff looks like vinyl. In fact it is hard to differentiate it from what BMW calls leatherette which is vinyl.

I'd say keyless is very nice to have. I have it and the wife does not and I hate having to dig for her keys with groceries or the baby etc....

The only thing I wish I had added was the adaptive suspension.

I am happy with everything else in my car.

Nothing wrong with leather, it's nice.... easy to clean. I enjoy tracking/autocrossing, the leather doesn't hold me in as well.

The only things I would change: I would go with Monsoon Gray, love the Ice Silver but it is my second choice color.
I would add the ADS and 19" wheels but considering that I bought a stock car I'm very happy with my choice!

The things I would never give up: Sports Differential and manual transmission! Love it!!!

FALSE. Manuel's faster, YouTube it for proof bud
