Default touring or sport package?

I havent been on a test drive with either just yet to make a firm decision but wonder what you all think. I wish I could justify both but my bank account is telling me to pick one or the other.

Depends if you want luxury or sportiness. I'd go with sport over touring if I could only have one. On the flipside, if you plan to upgrade things yourself, you could go touring and then upgrade anything you like on your own. Keep in mind that SRM for the 6MT can't be added later and the sport package as a whole is a great deal.

You can get the 2010 370Z roadster as a touring version with the sport package - you can have both.

Pretty sure he knows you can get both...he's posing the question of, "If you could only choose one..."

In that case get the touring. You can add wheels, brakes, and other suspension mods later when you have the money. Most of them are bolt-ons. You can't add the touring features as easily.

Sport, don't care for the Bose system and the other stuff. If they would include NAV with the Touring package then that would make a difference.

I went base to build. Don't regret it at all, but there's a big $$ diff between sport package and custom. But here's my wish list: Good 4 piston brakes $4k, ssr or grams $2.5k+, tire upgrade $1k, aero a few hundred more, coilovers $1.5-2k, etc.

Audio upgrade $2k and live without leather.

Sports is better value, IMO if you're keeping stock and then upgrade front speakers and hu as you can.

$2K in audio???????

With all that money you could get the Touring with Sport Package and have some money left over.
