Default Tech Package?

I will be ordering an 2.0T Avant later this month and I'm wondering if the Tech Package is really worth it. I do have Xenons (low beams only) on my '02 1.8T QMS sedan and I like them but with the recent $600 price increase in MSRP, I'm starting to suffer from some sticker shock here.

Default Re: Tech Package?

You get:

Bi-Xenon Headlights - I think is great
Adaptive Front Lighting - do not use much
Memory for Drive side - Great
Color Trip Computer - Great
Bluetooth - have not used yet, but plain to

You just have to decide if enough of the options are worth it.

Default Don't have the tech package but the xenon is worth it

The adaptive front lighting is nice (but not a necessity) when in you're in the middle of nowhere where it's pitch black. No use for driver side memory as I'm the only driver, the colour trip computer is nice.

The bluetooth is pretty sweet. Makes the commute that much easier.

I'm a big fan of the Bluetooth and the Xenons are great. If your keeping the car for a while, and you value hands free and decent headlights, get it.

Yeah, but the premium package also comes with the color trip computer.

Default how can you not use adaptive lighting? I love that! Plus one has to use it....

I will not have another car without HID's. When I drive other cars now it is like the lights are off. And the adaptive lights are nice and look awesome. if you look where you want to drive, and dont look where you have already been, they are nice. They shine around the corner and light it up; plus it is probaly obvious to other drivers which way you are going since your lights are pointing that way.

Also, I love the dimming mirrors (is that the tech or premium package?). Thought they were useless but now when I drive my other car I am always blinded by light from the cars behind me.

Get the Tech package! you will love it and the car will have better resell.

They are things that are not appreciated untill you drive a different car.
