Feature differences on Base vs Sport vs Touring on 7AT.

Bluetooth is worthless to me. Leather seats would be nice, but I can survive without them. The LSD and Brakes are the thing that I'm teetering about. I didn't have

I didn't have those on my 350z and this car is a daily driver for me, not a track car. I do like driving it somewhat hard though, so I'm not sure if this is something I will really notice/car about.

Well one thing about the touring package, is you get the home link auto dimming mirror, heated side mirrors. I see you live in FL, so who cars about that But with the leather seats you get more interior color options than just black which would go great in the FL summer . As mentioned , the sport package is definitely worth it. It comes down to what you really want. & I say get the trim level you want, or otherwise you be wishing you did everyday you get in it.

Agreed.

The sports package is the no brainer part. A great value. Touring is for guys like me who are older and softening.

I got everything. When folks complain later that they wish they had some option, I'm never in their boat.

Talk is cheap, I also got mine for $32,900 so I got more for less.

Tam - I don't think you know what old is yet!

Young whippersnapper.

Definition of old - when it hurts to go to sleep. I joined the club last year!

Ouch. Thanks. I'm not that old, true. It's Good to be young again. Old enough to be some 370Z drivers father, at any rate.

Young whippersnapper - I have not been accused of this for some time.
