Is touring worth it?

DNadar

i took the grill out of my hood scoop, and the grill that was on it still had holes in it. i liked the interior, and i love the front! lol, to each his own i guess!

body roll was present, but it still handled very well. 370z will be much better all around though.

I changed my mind, i'm getting touring. I should be getting it either tomorrow or within the next week

Please don't do this.

Is touring worth it?

I choose no, I took all items listed (check Semtex's post as he has the complete list), and ranked them on a scale of 1-10. 10 being will use daily or at least every other day, and 1 being used very rarely. The list was very bleak for touring as it seemed only a few items made it past 7 on the list for me, so I found the need for touring to not be a best buy.

The only option I wish I had gotten, but could not, was the stock navigation, but paying the extra price for touring just to get navigation was not worth it.

I've been considering the whole sport + touring vs. sport base. I am also an audiophile and for this reason I think I have decided against the touring just because of the Bose stereo. My plan is to get a 2010 sport model and then get some Cover King leather seats covers (I love the ones in my Xterra) and then go aftermarket for the whole stereo. I figure I'll save a lot of money vs. getting the touring and still having to upgrade the speakers/amps.

I'm not sure what you mean by flattopping - are you refering to clipping or roll off? If you are trying to tell me your built in laptop speakers are better than the 8 speaker system in the car that is actaully driven by amps I'm not sure why we are having this conversation.... clarity maybe but if you want more than 20dB of audio out....

Hmm ... laptop with 4 speakers plus an actual, separate subwoofer? The Qosmio line was designed for gamers. If I need personal +loudness+ I put on a set of Sennheiser 'phones without bothering neighbors. But here on the Jersey shore, where everyone thinks they're supposed to like (or be like) the Boss, I'd rather have accurate than Pontiac blow-it-out-yer-paper-cones NOISE.

As to the comments about driving with ear buds, etc. -- well, I don't do that. But most of the time driving I don't even listen to the radio, because it's (b)anal and because I'd rather hear traffic around me. There are parked times, when one really wants to hear music, and the Bose shortcomings are just too much in the way of it to make for an enjoyable experience.

I thought earbuds while driving is illegal in every states?

It definitely ought to be if it isn't.
