All that would probably add a hundred pounds though, a lot in the usual extra drivers in a premium sound setup. I still have a set of seats with all the goodies from one of my other Neons and they weigh a ton. And I had to think hard about the heated seats. I also road trip in the car, so those are nice, especially since I like it ten degrees cooler than my wife does... I'll fix the stereo myself...

Really, I was very happy there's no useless crap I hate that I had to get.
Maybe a hundred lbs. if the “premium sound” included a subwoofer, larger amp, etc. Simply installing a good aftermarket head unit and keeping the rest of the system stock made everything sound ten times better with added functionality as a bonus... as well as actually being a bit lighter than the garbage factory head unit.
I don’t care if the seats are power adjustable... just adding manual lumbar and bolster adjustment won’t add anywhere near 100 lbs.
