As far as I'm concerned, what you got is the "everything" package. If you downgrade to Touring, you get power heated leather seats and all those do is add weight You are better off removing the cloth seats you got in the Sport Tech and using the ~$900 you saved vs. Touring to buy some proper racing bucket seats; you got an actual limited slip differential, a decent set of brakes and a more sophisticated transmission instead of heated leather seats.
Yeah, I test drove some g37s and the new q60 and they lack "spirit." They definitely don't handle nearly as well as a sport Z. I do like their lux feel but for the money I'd be better off with a new vette.
For full disclosure, I did get an automatic. It felt a bit blasphemous but I'm just gettin too lazy in my middle age. I did enjoy the Genesis Coupe's AT. Plus this car has plenty of power to support an AT. The FR-S needed to be stick cause it was lacking power. So, aside from missing out on the sycro rev match upgrade, the other sport upgrades are still way worth it. I also confess I had to have the Rays rims - they are quite possibly my most favorite stock rims on ANY car!
So, to address the leather, I am seriously considering having a cool black leather/red suede recover done. I just don't know where or how to go about it - it must be perfectly done! I don't care if it's expensive. I also considered some new sport seats too but, again not sure where to go. I also must confess I really like the retro design placement of the power seat controls on the Z - they are sooo Z! I'll miss them no matter what I do.
Thank you for your reply to my post. I appreciate the validation
And finally, back seats in a true sports car are just plain dumb! Lol.
