IIRC, the D4 HSE is the only one with them. You can't just add the armrests on the lower spec models - like you could on the D3 - as the seat frame doesn't have the mount for them in the D4. :mad:

Electric seats with armrests come with MY12 SDV6SE.
MY12 also came with traction control upgrade.

I noted from my trip to SA this year that MY12 SDV6SE performed better in sand than my D3 with ediff.

Big screen that comes with stereo upgrade also gives you better phone management.

My MY12 SDV6SE came fairly well optioned.

I think the only things missing from HSE were:
Memory seats
Sat Nav
Front parking sensors.

The above would have cost me extra $8 to $10k

And as I was up at the end of my affordability I was well pleased with the deal.

The free corporate servicing is good.

Cheers

With a 270mm difference between wifey & I - memory seats everyday of the week. It's a real pita when she drives my bmw with manual seats - I can't even get in to move the seat.

My non-electric seat's adjustment lever must get pushed down getting in and out as it requires regular height adjustment. One day I might look for an electric one - perhaps when the broken stitching in the centre of the squab gets too bad.

Ill agree there I've had a few cars with the memory settings and they are invaluable especially with the mirrors seats and steering wheel my wife is about 150mm shorter but likes to sit up higher and the steering wheel and mirrors changed haha so its easy to when we are on long trips just swap over bang hit the button and your all set no messing around, so yeah we use it almost daily aswell!!

Armrests in the MY13 SE too.

I've read the TC has been improved in every model to the point "e-Diff makes very little difference anymore".

Big screen also gives you better ipod/iphone management once you plug it in. It is BT but gives more menus once connected via the USB iPod connector.
