Nothing wrong with the base. I got a 16 base 2 months ago. It was certified pre-owned (was a dealer rental) with 10440 on the clock for $26k.

With everything we do to upgrade these cars as far as performance and appearance goodies, why start with above base model? That was my reasoning, anyway.

Enjoy your new car

Why start out with a model above the base? A sports packaged Z just offers an incredible value vs a base. Why get a base when you can get a sports packaged Z for about 1.5k-2k more? In a base if you wanted to upgrade the brakes/differential you would probably spend about 2k+ not to mention you are loosing out on some of the other things the sport package offers. But to each their own and congrats on the purchase OP I will be looking forward to the next trade in thread

You are right that a sports package is great. I used to have a gun metal 2014 sports package. However, age, city traffic, using it as a DD and finding a trade with a Miata with under $4k difference was difficult.

At my age, it's more for aesthetic pleasure. The Blue color of the car is different from the blue offered in previous years and is quite lovely.
