Now that this forum has helped my wife and I agree on the color, I'd like to hear some thoughts on some of the upgrades. Our plan is to order the CXL in Red Jewel with Ebony leather and the following options:
- Driver Confidence Package
- Entertainment Package #
We were going to pass on the confidence package originally, but with the Ebony interior, I thought the remote start (with A/C on) would be nice plus my wife really liked the rear park assist feature. We also both really enjoy music, so if we didn't get the Bose, we would have almost certainly gone with an aftermarket audio upgrade.
Other options that I am not including are:
- Luxury Package ($925 and not sure there is anything to justify it)
- Engine Block Heater (we live in Ohio and the Enclave will be garaged)
- Trailer Provisions (have no need to trailer anything and I don't want to disturb the Enclaves lines)
- DVD (I'm sure it is a great feature, but my kids each have a portable DVD player for long trips)
- Nav (I have a Garmin that I use for long trips, but I really like the thought of the backup camera - I might be convinced to go for Entertainment Package #3)
- Sunroof (seems like a nice feature, but not sure it is worth the expense)
- Chrome Wheels (look sharp, not sure if $900 and the fear of my wife scraping them against a curb in the first week make it a wise investment)
I need to draw the line somewhere and the vehicle I describe above will still be an excellent vehicle. I also realize there have been some similar posts in the past but I was hoping to revisit this a little.
Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts.
