For me, for the most part, spec options generally fall into either 'cosmetic' or 'functional' categories. Interesting to note @Jobbo that the three items you quote are all functional options and the one you quote as lacking is cosmetic. So it may be the way individuals see and prioritise what is important to them.
We can all comment on functional items to articulate our experiences (see above bunch of posts on ACC as an example) but cosmetic is purely subjective to the individuals taste surely. One person may like green, another hates it
Bottom line for me is for the OP to consider functional options carefully in terms of do they want it, is it of use etc. Cosmetic stuff? If you like it go for it. Who cares what anyone else likes!
What can I say - I’m clearly a tart :lol: I did say that I wasn’t so bothered about exterior colour over interior since you spend your time inside it.

Regarding surround view, I have used it previously in a BMW 5-series and that had more cameras than the Macan or my Audi. There were sideways-facing cameras in front of the front wheels which were really useful for giving a sideways view as you poked your nose out. The Macan and Audi systems rely on the fisheye lens on the central front camera and just don’t give as good an image. The display also looks too cluttered to me with multiple images on it, so I think usability is compromised. Overall, I wouldn’t avoid a car with surround view but I wouldn’t pay extra for it when speccing one new in future.

By the way, my comment was an observation not a criticism. Highlighting that we are all different with differing tastes and priorities

Unfortunately I have now missed out on the car and it has been sold and so the search continue :)

I still like the colour though :)
