Do you guys think the savings for not getting touring is worth it in the long run / worth the trouble considering if one would want to upgrade sound systems and cloth seat swap?

yea, i really wanted base+sport, or base+sport+touring, however i only paid 26k for a brand new base+touring 7at, a deal i couldnt pass up

The touring package is good for the WAF (wife acceptance factor).

Yeah, I did the same thing. Got a deal I couldn't pass up on touring and nav.

I think you lose a bit you can't replicate with aftermarket if you don't get touring+nav, but what really matters is what you want to do with your car.

If you like to mod the interior, add on accessories, etc. then it doesn't make sense to spend extra for Touring only to take it out.

If you just want to drive the car, then Touring is very nice.

I wasn't looking to get touring/nav, but it was the only PG/Sport/6sp I could find, and had to drive 400 miles to get it, at that. I was able to get it at invoice with VPP, though. I don't know if I would have spent $41K for it, but I have been happy with the Touring/Nav extras.

I bought a base sport because I intend to have a fully custom audio system and I will be purchasing high end recaros. The only thing I will be buying from the touring is the tonneau cover and rear cam/homelink-mirror that's available at my dealership..

I hate buying a new car only to find out later I could have had some neat toy, but I under bought.

The sport package is a deal. The touring adds luxury that is of more questionable value. I got it all and am happy as a clam. I also paid $32900 new, so I did not really pay top dollar for the extras.

Yea I mean for me, SPORT and 6MT is a must. I'm just debating on if I need touring or not. If the extra cost can offset the hassle of trying to find someone on the forum that would want to sell me their leather/suede interior. I fully plan on upgrading the sound system as well as I'm not really that into performance; I'm just in love w/ this car *_* I just dunno if I'll be able to deal w/ not having the leather/suede seats / door pieces and dealing w/ the shitty stock speakers b4 I get the upgrades done. Also Homelink mirrors, I can buy that cheap anyways so I'm guessing it's not a big deal.

I'm still in my search for a 370 in North TX but most of the ones I can find are just 6MT w/out SPORT. Blah few more months.

It seems like prices for the sport and touring packages are backwards, based on how much you get. Although if you get both it doesn't really matter.

what door pieces are you referring to? pictures?

The suede pieces on the door

damn! that is pretty hawt! not an extra 2-3k hawt though.

I'm pretty sure I'd you add it up,it will be hard to get all the features for 2-3k, you just be wasting as much if you plan to replace anyway.

That depends, what would be the point in the sport package if you will get new wheels, a proper LSD, and could do without SRM? That is what I thought at least, but I think it is much easier and cost effective to skip the sport package and add all that back compared to skipping the Touring and adding all that back with Touring parts or getting a new sound system, seats, and door inserts.
