Here is how I value the diffs that favor the sport for me:
color choice is
metallic orange (n/a on base): $300 (I want bright to be safer)
alloy wheels: $400 (assuming lighter wheels improve milage)
remote entry: $240 (much more useful than power windows IMO)
fog lights: $150 (we do get fog here a lot)
underbody spoilers: $0 (what are they for? to look snazzy? no thanks
)
rear spoiler: $ 50 (dont care but maybe, not sure)
cruise control: $200 (sure I always use it if/when available)
leather steering wheel: $25 (dont really care who knows)
upgraded stereo, equalizer, mp3 (I assume from CDRs),
aux input: $300 (nice to have all these goodies)
AT extras like paddles: n/a (getting a 5-speed)
not having to haggle for all of these individually: priceless
So the total value to me: around $1665
and the additional cost (an estimate): $1900
close enough for me
but the base looks good too!
