I just came back from the dealer and I drove two base model, one manual with sport package, and one auto with out anything. and then I sat in a touring one with sport package. And I can personally say, I did not like the touring one at all. The leather was all hot and sticky, the suede wasn't all that I thought it would be. I don't really feel much of a diff because I would never track it and I didnt get to drive this one on the track so I dunno even if I need an LSD.

And can that Clutch pedal be any higher?! man I'm a pretty I guess average height dude at 6'0 and that clutch bothered me the most. Even more then the fact that I can barely see thru the back window. The Rev match made me feel like a pro. but that clutch really just URGH.. I didn't like the Manual one at all.

So then I tried the Base auto, with out anything it was so basic it only had wheel locks. And I loved it the seats were really nice Cloth it wasn't hot, it was well bolstered. I didn't slide around any where. and the Paddle shifter and manual mimicking Auto Tanny was just awesome. Without that annoying high Clutch I felt like I was driving like a Pro, Down shift and I hear a rev because the auto has rev matching too, it's just awesome. In fact it was so awesome I was going to buy it right off the lot. But it was in red which isn't good for my situation of no garage at all. Therefore, I'm waiting on their new shipment at the end of the week for a Brilliant Silver or a Pearl white in the same configuration. If they Don't have that I'll order one. Man NO REGRETS ON THE BASE MODEL AT ALL!
