If you set up the reverse dipping wing mirrors properly you will find that you won't need the cams, I have them as well and while I have used them off road the thing I would miss if I didn't have them would be the trailer assist that you don't seem to get unless you have surround cams. TBH the side cams are not that great at night, the saving grace for the reversing cam is the brightness of the reversing lights.

Heated front windscreen. Only had to use it once, back in January.

Just commented on this in another thread: http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-34-2MPG-In-My-Si4. Bottom line is that it's for convenience rather than economy. However, if you're not naturally an economical driver and your speed tends to unintentionally vary a lot then it can improve your mpg.
Agree that I'd like to see adaptive cruise control on the Evoque though, surprised it wasn't an option as JLR already have the technology and contracts in place. I guess they're still wanting to keep plenty of differentiation between the Evoque and it's bigger siblings.
What's the CO2 emmissions graph thingy (sorry, not got my Evoque yet but I've never heard of this)?

+1 for surround cameras - but I wanted the tech pack, so I'm not bothered that I haven't used them much

Hmmm, let's see...
I've never used the Park Assist function yet and doubt I ever will.
I find the Blind Spot Monitoring pointless albeit it is always on.
I never use the dip mirrors function since it interferes with how I park my car in the garage and prefer to use the cameras anyway - and the rear view camera engages in a second or so which makes me one of the lucky ones I guess given how many of you find yours slow.
I don't use the Dual Screen function really since the TV is useless when driving. Stopped, the TV is fine, so no need for Dual View.
Things I've grown to use regularly are: Keyless entry, electric boot and cameras (even though I thought they were a gimmick when I first got the car).

@NightFox - The CO2 graph pops up for a few seconds when you use cruise control just shows you how much CO2 the car produces at certain speeds, eg 70mph = 182g/km CO2, can be deactivated from in car menus.

The iPod socket... I don't have an iPod!
(although it works for USB!)The DVD, as I don't have Dual View and I don't watch sub 10 minute films...
Everything else used... although keep forgetting about SWYS
