Ideally, sure, having all the options is best. Nobody can argue that but like anything in life. Having the best optioned house, the best optioned TV, etc. but it comes down to $$ and budget.
True. $30K is a major outlay, and unless money is not an issue [for all you 1%ers out there], it will give anyone pause.
But the thing to consider is that if you keep your car for only 5 yrs, that $5k difference is only about $3 a day, the cost of a cup of [overpriced] coffee.
Given that most of us spend a lot of time in our cars, and most of us enjoy the time we spend in our cars, it's worth it to me to spend a little extra to get the best I can afford, one way or another. That's just my priority.
