Hi folks,

I'm looking ahead and planning on replacing my 04 1.8t 6 speed Avant with a 2012 or 2013. I hope to get one more winter out of the old girl.

That said, I have been looking around to get a feel for pricing.

Looks like there are 3 option levels. I'm trying to figure out what I really care about, and what I'm willing to hold out for. So far, these are my observations: I would love to find a 6 speed manual, but that may be difficult. I have always driven manuals, except for a few free company cars. Quattro is a must. I don't really care about NAV, since I use my phone now, but that screen looks cool. The B&O sound system sounds like a nice option. I like the way the wood trim looks. A split fold rear seat would be nice.

Do they all come with heated seats? Are there other options that are really cool?

I look forward to input. Options are obviously subjective, so let the banter begin.

I bought a 2012 Avant for my wife went with Nav MMi+, BO, very nice, wood trim. The rear seats are all split fold, only front heated seats are available. You can only get the B&O with the Nav MMi+, which I believe also gets you the 3 zone climate control. Definitely get the Premium Plus.
