I plan on keeping this car for a while and since I do not know what lays in lifes road ahead - the extras make it worth the added expense, and does not impact the payment amount by much.
On the flip side the NAV is a perk. Although I am familiar with where I live, I know that I could travel anywhere and have a perfect map route at my fingertips. A cheap portable NAV runs around $200 but then the moutns, battery, case, etc adds more to it.
My thoughts - if spending some decent coin on a new vehicle (that you intend to keep for a good while) then get the added value of the factory add-ons and enjoy the equity they build into the car.
Hope this helps.

I agree...go with the Nav. Also with the Nav you have the ability to control stereo funtions and bluetooth funtions through it. You also get a mileage consumption screen (I think that's what it's called) when you have the Nav.
I factory ordered mine and had the ability to pick and choose options.
