I got the touring edition for the stereo and the other nice things, sat radio, the car just looked better with all the add ons. I can't stand GPS units installed in cars, my verizon navigtor phone does all that and stays with me wherever I travel, I have yet to get lost in any vehicle driving to and from work, kills me to see local folks getting a GPS installed in there dash when all they do is go to and from the grocery store.
Now if you travel extensively and "Tour" around the country be honest is this the car your going to do it in. I like the car without nav, because the little cubby they left with the cool door, I put my IPOD or my sunglasses in and call it the bat cave... D |

I will say this. A few years ago when I bought a 350Z, I decided to 'settle' for the Enthusiast model because I didn't feel justified in splurging for the Grand Touring. I wouldn't say I had remorse over it, but I will say that every now and then I'd wish I had gotten the Grand Touring for the leather seats, larger wheels, etc. So this time around when I got my 370Z, I decided to get the Touring so that I wouldn't have to go through second-guessing myself again. Not having to second-guess, post purchase, might alone be worth going ahead and getting the full meal deal. Something to think about anyway.

If you had ordered the same car in Six speed I would trade you straight accross for my 7AT Touring. That should say something about making your purchase. I took what I could get early on, but I should have held out for the one I wanted. I want/ed Touring+Sport+PG+6Spd=my car.
If you plan to drive this car spiritedly you'll crave that third pedal. Don't get me wrong you will still very much enjoy driving the 7AT, but it just isn't the same.

i was going to go with base...but i love how everything is so intergrated with the screen....so gotta cough it up and get the nav/touring.

I strongly suggest that buyers who wish to suffer less or potential buyer's remorse please review the Owner's Manual located here by AK370Z: 370Z Owner's Manual
I can say that we purchased the Touring package without the nav, and I like the center console better for its styling, but the Owner's Manual really caters to those who buy the nav package, and sucks when it comes to the other choices. The nav unit also has some of the car's features that can be adjusted on-screen: p. 4-6 (p. 129 if you input a page). |

Great thread guys. Planning to buy in about 6 months and I think I will go back and forth btwn base+sports or touring+sports until then. Not going to be my DD, but if i drive for holidays or weekends I will be driving for over 2 hrs at a time, so the leather seats would be nice, but maybe not 4k nice. I live in Cali so heated seats aren't a big deal either.

It was an easy choice when I bought my Legacy, it was only about a $2000 option for the leather and the gigantic sunroof. Can't really fork over $4k for only 2 leather seats ![]() Last edited by b534202; 02-26-2009 at 02:43 AM. |
