Yes, great commuter car. If just for the street, I probably wouldn't stress over a Performance Pack equipped car either. It still drives like a gem without it.
The only reason I mentioned upgrades before is to widen the potential market. Many gravitate toward the lighting-package equipped cars because the standard lighting is quite plain looking--some might even say awkward. IMO, the lighting package on the MK7 is more visually impactful than the RS lighting on the Camaro 6. LP lights have the stripe through the housing and the U shaped LEDs: 1 U per side for GTI with red stripe, two Us per side for Golf R with silver stripe.
My suggestion is, don't worry about the lighting package when looking for a car--used or new--as this might limit your choices somewhat. If you find a standard lighting car for the right deal, as the lighting is easily and relatively cheaply fixed via aftermarket if you are so inclined, and you end up with flexibility in the cosmetics (number of Us and stripe color).
I believe this is only an issue with the GTI, as the R models all come with the upgraded lighting as a standard feature.
On another topic, if you're interested in Android Auto/Apple Car Play, I believe those were added to 2016 and up models. The Fender system in the SE and Autobahn is very competent for a stock system, with or without the AA/CP.
