Premium is tempting but doesn't have any must-haves for us. The only interesting features are PDLS+ and the heated wheel. LCA is a don't care, as is the rest. At $3,500, not hard to pass up.

I wouldn't mind memory seats but as Josh said, I'm not paying $3k for that. I'd prefer manual seats but obviously not an option these days. Between only two drivers (and realistically it'll be me most of the time) memory is not critical. And I definitely don't want the full buckets. Call me soft. The RX-8 has a Kirkey so if I want my fill of brutal power and minimalist seats I've got that.

For $1200, the LED lights with PDLS+ as a standalone option is tempting. Adding the heated wheel adds another $800. Ugh. equ has me thinking.

edit: Marisa says the LED headlights look stupid, so they're out. Heated multifunction wheel is in, as are ventilated seats. Deletion of model designation on the rear as well. Rear wiper is out. Total is just over $92k. Almost seems like a bargain?
