Ordering a new company car and have always had Audi's.
3 x TT and currently A5 sportback 2l tdi.
The A5 is excellent with a 2 & 4 year old in the back so going with a 5 door but what extras are necessary as Pure 190hp manual will be the chosen one. So far gone with 19 wheels, zenons, privacy. Torn between fuji with black rook or firenze with black roof? Also cannot decide on black leather or cirrus as always had black on the Audi's!
Why so much choice!
If the budget will stretch, cancel the contrast roof and go for the panoramic roof. Your kids will love it and it almost gives you a contrast roof as well. Only thing that you should order are the front fog lights to give you the LRX look rather than have grey plastic fillets in their place that come standard on the Pure. With the pano roof you can safely go for a black interior and not have a dark claustrophic interior too. You might also find the remote tailgate release useful. The heated steering wheel sounds a bit if a frippery but it's really useful in the winter if your car has to sit outside overnight
You folks are lucky that you get company cars and get a choice at that. In the US, only sales people get cars and they get compact cars in base form.

Couldn't agree more, see my sig.
As Tim says Fog lights are essential and if you can stretch to it tech pack and pano and both will help hugely with resale value.
I have cirrus interior and really like it - interior feels much more spacious than black
Many thanks for the advice and will definately go with the front fogs as you suggest. Still to decide on colours but attracted to fuji with cirrus albeit might just be too much.
SPARE WHEEL!!
It has been said in many other threads in this forum, but a can of goo can do nothing for a sidewall tear in a tyre.
The cirrus interior is very light, and yes it does mark slightly, but most marks come off with a damp 'soapy' cloth, or leather cleaner if reqd.
