Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Touring worth the $4.5K premium over Base?

The Sport Package is a must option for me. But I'm torn between the Touring and Base models.

Touring:
--------
Pros: I love the Leather/Suede interior of the Touring. That's the main thing I want. The aluminum pedals and homelink are wants as well.

N/A: Bose, Bluetooth, power & heated seats - I don't care if it's there or not.

Cons: The price premium and worst, the added 46 lbs of weight.

So my question for those of you who went for the Touring option - do you think it was worth it and why?

Base:
-----
Pros: Cheaper. And lighter, which should mean slightly better performance.
Cons: Black material looks like it will show lint like crazy. No aluminum pedals! (that sucks)

For those who went for the Base, if you had to buy one again, would you stick with the Base?
