You should also get sliding rear seats as standard on a 2016 model, which are now an optional extra, and probably the enhanced interior lighting package, which again is now an extra I think.

I've got the "standard" nav in my 2016 xLine, with the smaller screen, and I've found it quite adequate for the last 3 years. I would have liked the larger screen, and the accompanying Heads Up Display, but I couldn't justify the extra grand or so on the order.

One option we couldn't really do without are the electric adjustable memory seats, as my wife and I swap in and out of the car regularly. I also specced non-runflat tyres, along with a spare space-saver, electric folding/dimming mirrors, sun protection glass, a heated steering wheel and front parking sensors with the rear reversing camera. Those were our priorities at ordering time

If money had been no object then I would have gone for the larger nav screen, probably a sunroof, and a better sound system (ours is the Basic one). But those would have added probably another £2.5k to the cost!

The 2016 xLine already had LED lights as standard, as did the M Sport, and leather seats. I've got a PDF of the standard specifications for the 2016 models if you're interested? They did change slightly over time; I've got January 2016, July 2016 and November 2017 if it helps.
Hi Clive,

Thanks for your reply.

I do like the folding mirrors on my current car. Not too fussed about the electric seats, as it's almost always me driving.

I do like the sunroof, but honestly I think it could be a right pain as it gets older and seals start to go.

Those pdfs would be amazing if you could send them over!
