I think I am a magnet to low option cars. ...no a/c, no PB, no ps, no radio, no light package..... so a lot of loading and unloading groceries in the dark.
If its that low optioned, then power at idle may not be a big deal. If you're sitting stopped in traffic for long periods of time with the lights on, wipers going and/or the heater blower going, then better output at idle is nice.
