Anyone who owns a base sixpack regret not getting the plus?

I researched the crap out of these cars before getting one. I don't regret getting the base but some of those features would've been nice. I actually like the ambient lighting and now I'm realizing I don't get the performance pages. Plus I noticed the passenger seat is manual, that's the only other thing that caught me by surprise. However I got a brand new base Scat for 42K. At that price point I couldn't complain or justify paying 10k extra for those features. Now the 5K I might've budged, but at an around 10K price difference I'll just deal with it.

Anyone with the base regret not getting a plus, or did you guys get the car more for the performance and don't need those extra things. Or better yet any of you guys get the plus and figured you could've gone down in trim?

For 5 grand more I got the car I wanted and it's awesome. I did not go any further with options cause for the money I got a lot. love the car and it's quick. later RJD

True you get a lot for that 5 grand too. At the price I got mine for though I’m like I’ll put some aftermarket lights in there. And I’ll make due with everything else

I bought the base Scat with just the Blacktop package. Generally, I uncheck every option except ‘big motor’ and ‘black paint’.

I have a base Scat with Blacktop package. No regrets at all not getting the Plus package. The base Scat is pretty well equipped as is.

Someone did that and it looked nice. I forget if it was on this site for a Sixpack car, or on a Daytona. I'll look.

I got the plus, and the only thing that sort of bothers me are the power moving seats. Waiting for that thing to go forward and backwards is a slight pain. The power hatch isn't the greatest either. I also had to have the ventilated seats.

What's so bad about the seats moving. You in that much of a hurry. And same with hatch,works about as fast as my Jeep no complaint. later RJD

Just waiting for them to move, as opposed to pulling the strap forward and back. Yes, I'm always in a hurry. Time's a tickin'............

Funny, when I was leaving the dealer yesterday, the tech manually pushed the hatch open when he started on my car!

I found this...

Want to add ambient lighting

I want to add the ambient lighting feature and noticed on the MOPAR site there are 2 parts for ambient lighting. Has anyone done this? Are these the only 2 parts necessary to make this work as a factory setting? Its MOPAR part # 68593353AB and 68593352AA. Much appreciated!

Nice find! Funny, I haven't driven mine yet at night, and I'm wondering if the glowing doors will bother me.

I had performance pages in my 392 Scat Pack. I might have looked at them 10 times the whole time I owned the car. That's just me though. They are cool but I never really used them.

Yes, exactly. I wanted to check the AFR only.
