Make sure you get the paddle shift wheel which is included in the base model. Heated seats are nice. I like the adaptive sports seats but our car has the comfort seats. Unless you are over 200 lbs or have very broad shoulders I would get the standard seats. Only get the expensive colors if you really love them...
Xm can't be added later according to my dealer, so get that if you want it.
make sure you have the ability/tools to be able to deal with the center lock wheels.
If you are in Philly as per your signature I may have a few leads on cars for you and you might get a good deal where we purchased our car. PM me for more info.

About the seats, I'm leaning towards the sports bucket seats. Is it offered in the US market?
Also, what's XM? Thanks.

With no multi-function steering wheel, the Voice Control is handy and not expensive.
My other options were carbon fibre door sills, garage door opener, heated seats and leather rear console.
The standard Adaptive Sports Seats are excellent and much more comfortable than the regular seats in my old Carrera S.

Ok, so I have a November build confirmation from the dealer the other day. Here's what I ordered for my 2011 Turbo S.
Basalt Black Metallic
Two tone interior (black and titanium blue)
Park assist
Electric sunroof
Sports bucket seats
Speed Yellow seat belts
3 spoke multi-function steering wheel
Universal Audio Interface
Like some mentioned above, the car is pretty much loaded and therefore not much else is needed. However, I really wanted the carbon fiber package but it had to be ordered with heated seats and steering wheel which would be insane to have here in tropical Taipei and more importantly it couldn't be ordered with the sports bucket seat. oh well........

and California. At 40K my passenger side piece that sits flat facing up to the sun at the bottom of the windshield, peeled.
Dealer replaced it no questions, but I am wondering if the driver side piece will peel just before or just after warranty expires. The part is around $800.

Wouldn't they ding you on an import fee if you bought the car in the US and tried to take it into the country?
And only $20K on add ons? I was trying to keep the 2010 TT under $170K total at the LA autoshow last year; non S model even!

Unfortunately yes.
Yup, something like 50~80% so you wound up paying almost the same price. Like many others here, just don't want to go through all the hassel of importing it myself from the US.

When I ordered my turbo S in March, I was told multifunction wheel was only available with the old style shift buttons, not with paddles. If you want the paddles, you might want to confirm with the dealer that you can have paddles with the multifunction wheel.
I don't know how hot it is in Taipei, but you might want to consider the ventilated seats. Seat ventilation is only available with the standard seat, but it was worth giving up the adaptive seats to have a sweat free back on a hot day.
