My dealer didnt add any of those things, and was very willing to deal...I am a weekend drummer and the CT carries all my gear with ease, and I have been getting 25 to 27 mpg highway so I have been very pleased with mine..had mine since Jan 28th..just in time for 2 of the worst snow storms to hit Northern Virginia ever, never got had any problems. As for not seeing any...I prefer that, better to have one of the few then to see one every 5 cars. just my thoughts Good luck with your choice!!
