Colours are a matter of personal taste, of course. I found that leather is still soft and supple at -30, so if you want to go for it, you can. I have taken pretty much all the packages I could except for the Sports package. The feature I use the most is Bluetooth audio from my phone. What made a big difference in handling to me was the VDC/DDC package (Normal, Sport and Sport+). If you use it in Normal, the car has a funny behaviour when it starts - like a spool-on delay and hesitation. Barely noticeable of course, but it is there. If you go in Sport mode the delay disappears. This alone was worth the package. VDC/DDC comes with dynamic performance that also enhances traction and lateral stability - great for ice. It makes driving on a slippery road great fun.

I went for the premium sound system and I really like it. It is something I use often in my commutes to work and I appreciate its quality every day.

Everything ese is comfortable and desirable, but not vital for me.

Just my 2 cents, and to each his/her own of course.
