Can't decide between Pure or Passion

[mnext02]

great points. Maybe I will go with the pure. I guess I can get buy without the red seats. I am in mn so won't put windows down for six months of year and other months I will have ac on so dont care about power windows that much. Heated seats and ac is all I need. Mycar will only cost 12200.

#1, the passion starts at 17% more $$ than the pure

Here's what you get with the passion that don't come with the pure:
panarama roof ($350 for pure)
*I don't like skin cancer*
alloy wheels
*rather have the steelies, remove the hubcaps and paint them flat black*
cd player ($350 for pure)
*I plan to install an in-dash GPS, probably Pioneer so I can get real time traffic*
power windows
*power windows will weigh the car down and my arms still work*
paddle shifters
*don't need them, the car shifts so slow anyways I don't see the point*
air conditioning ($600 for pure)
*will be getting this*
electronic and heated side mirrors
*I live in LA...*

Here are the options you can't add to the pure at config:
black, red, beige or leather interior
*I really want gray cloth as it will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter*
paddle shifters
*ditto*
power windows
*ditto*
fog lamps
*LA again*
tac & clock
*stereo will have a clock and why do you need a tach in an AT?*
heated seats
*LA*
electronic and heated side mirrors
*LA*
Comfort Package
Power steering
*don't need it in a ~1800lb car, less weight=better mpg*
Leather seats
*hot in summer, cold in winter*
Heated seats
*LA*
Rain and light sensor
*I can tell when it is raining and when it gets dark*
Auto-off headlamps with exit delay
*don't need it*
smart premium sound system
*again with the GPS..*

Later...

The configurator on the smartUSA site shows you can order heated seats on the Pure.
