[Euro] Worth upgrading to the new Luxury-Red?

Let us know which way you decide to go. I'm interested in knowing. :)

i like the red in the luxury as well.

I can say that a dirty red euro doesnt look that bad at all. I have to clean one every 3 weeks for a customer. I say go for it mate!

HID's - good but you can get a kit for less than $500.
17" rims - get some branded rims of your choice for $2K with rubber.
Leather - easily retrimmed for around $2K...maybe less.
Heated seats - gimik.
Rain sensing wipers - gimik.
Sunroof - good on sunny days. Can live without cos I live in Melb.

$5K to make a std Euro into a Luxury. Add a full OEM kit for $2500. Still $2.5K left. Enough to get coilovers, swaybars AND maybe a CAI. There is so much you can do with $10K, trust me. Keep your change and do something better with it.

Why would you spend that sort of money to make a standard Euro look like a luxury Euro? It's even a bigger waste of money since when it comes to selling it, it'll still be a standard Euro. Nobody except a few car nuts buying privately will care if you have mods or not. Therefore, it's the worst suggestion anyone has ever made here. IMO, just stick to the standard Euro since he's bought one already and save the money.

BTW, standard Euro owners will never know how great the heated leather seats are. They call it a gimmick because they never had the luxury of using it in cold weather. :thumbdwn:

The heated seats are great especially in cold bitter winter. The only grip I have is that the passenger side seat is not fully heated, only your ass get heated. I wasn't even told when I bought the car and I thought it was faulty until I read the manual.

once your ass is warm, your whole body is warm. That's the general idea.

Heated seats are really useful at this time of the year!!

But but, we don't need seat warmers in the first place because our seats are not cold in winter! Now, all I need is a gear knob warmer.

lol...

I wish we had heated side mirrors. Miss that feature from my old car, but the heated seats are damn nice, keeps u all nice and warm with the aircon as well. Just don't make it too warm and comfy or you'll fall asleep inside the car ;)

So the driver side's back is also heated?

What does it do? Stop the side mirrors from fogging? So far I haven't experienced side mirror fogging yet (coldest that I've brought my car to was 3 degrees in the Blue Mountains)

Handy for when you'd otherwise have to scrape ice off them mirrors. Try a few -30c winters and you'd really appreciate them - the number of times I scaped my father's then-cool Toyota Camry back home when younger makes me think they would have been great.

It was so cold we needed to run an engine warmer system off the garage's mains in order to be able to start it in the morning. My little 50cc power castrated moped didn't have such luxuries and doing morning paper runs it'd at worst take me about 15 minutes to kickstart the thing. Quite fun to ride in the snow and on the ice though!! :)

Man, I'm glad we don't have -30 C winters here. Is there anywhere in Vic that has that kind of temperatures?

I think Australia does not have that cold a temperature, so they omitted the heated mirrors to cut costs.
