i can see going with cloth in heat. i had cloth in my 2000
and it was fine, but i went leather with my new one.
i don't like sunroofs at all. more noise.

i have to have quattro, for snow driving. and it makes the
car really tossable too. i've found ESP only to suck for fun/spirited
driving, if not making things a little dangerous. i usually turn it
off.
