I'm not a huge fan of either interior, but I would pick A.

The M Sport is mostly a subjective choice IMO. It doesn't offer any extra performance (unless it has the very rare M performance option), doesn't drive any better, the wheels are the same size/diameter, etc. You do get the M steering wheel - that's about the only upgrade unless you consider painted wheel arches, door trims, etc., and upgrade.

Keep in mind regarding 2012 & 2013 M Sports -
-they don't have Adaptive drive standard like 2011's
-due to package re-shuffling with 2012MY, the Technology package offers very little, only HUD, side-view camera, and headlight assistant.

Adaptive drive is extremely rare (as is 3rd row, if you need it), and makes a noticeable difference when driving. Many people on here swear by that, and the multi-contour seats, saying they'd never buy one w/o those options. And being you're in NO, I would think the ventilated seats would be nice.

Are they similar in mileage?
