Hi Folks. Wanted to ask a question about packages and certain options. I am from Canada and so it may be different for Americans. This is more about specific options.
In Canada we have five packages available. Two interest me: The Touring and The Ultra Premium. The difference between the two is $7,000.00 in Canadian bucks.
The only options that interest me (not sure if I have 7 grand interest!) are:
1) Mark Levinson sound system. Really that much better than 12 speaker? I LOVE music.
2) What is intuitive parking assist?
3) VDIM. Worth it?
4) Heads up display. LOVE this in vettes that I have rented.
5) Wide view side monitor? Helpful or just a gimmick? I really like rear view cameras for parking lots.
6) Premium leather seats. A LOT nicer than normal leather?
7) Front seat power thigh extension. I don't have really long legs. Much use?
8) Front illuminated door sills. Just decorative right?

I would like to hear from people that have these options and whether they are happy they forked out the bucks. I am taking a test drive tomorrow in an Ultra Premium.

Thanks for any input!

See below...
1) Sounds better than the other 2 systems. Worth it for me
2) Sonar sensors on front/rear of car. Diagram of car in nav and center display (between speed/tach) shows proximity.
3) In US only available with Sports package. I wanted Luxury more than sports.
4) Have it and really like it.
5) Camera under right sideview mirror. Helps with parallel parking occasionally. Nice but not as great as Lexus makes it out to be. Infiniti's system is much better.
6) Definitely.
7) Not really.
8) Yup.

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure that five or six of the above options are worth 7k to me though. have to wait and see for tomorrow.
