I only see one option you listed, but I would want tow hitch, Bose, Premium Plus Pkg, heated & ventilated seats, and 19" rims so I can use all-season tires. I like the colored wheel crests, and thinking about the insulated glass.

Depends upon your driving ability and style. PTV will cause the back end to be thrown out in a turn, causing less understeer or push.

Air suspension can lower the car the most. Does the look and driving style appeal to you?

Would not waste money on Alcantera.

I do not find these options to be must-have options for my daily driving but here's my priority list if I had to rank them:
1) PTV - Self-explanatory performance/handling benefit for sub $1000
2) AS - Maintenance killer from what I've read...For a short term ownership, I'd get it
3) Alcantara - I like it until it starts to wear out
