same dilemna ...
don't know wihch to get.......

ill take what I can afford :) probably will have to wait until I can find one used. but if I were buying new the only thing I really car about is the navigation. IF I could get a base with navi I would be happy..... everything else is upgradeable. Perfect world Base+Sport package and Navi :)

Im buying touring AND modding. I figured the leather seats will fetch me more money to help pay for the new seats than would stock cloth seats. Moreover, if I decide I don't like leather...its easier to find someone who has cloth seats and will swap with you + $.

Im also going touring because of the bose system, I'm not audio crazy, but I do like a nice sounding system. I'm pretty sure the bose will be enough for me. The gripe that I have right now is whether I want the navi or not... I think that will come down to which graphite/touring/sports package car I find. If it has gps, great, if not then thats fine too.. Ill get something later down the road if at all.

The bluetooth does come in handy though, as does the aux jack in the center console...

Guys, don't forget the stock touring leather seats have SEAT WARMERS! :D Mmmmmm.... Hot butt at the touch of a button!

Touring + Sport

Like everyone said, if you're not modding the interior and you want it all setup turnkey, than the Touring trim is worth it. All things considering, the base is only 40lbs lighter and 40lbs can be made up VERY easily. Just changing the tires to lighter performance tires would free up that much weight (and would be a better weight decrease than any other part on the car due to outer spinning mass).

If you don't care about navigation, just know that the computer that comes with the touring trim has a LOT of really cool features... The voice command beats ALL the other systems I've used. I mumbled '106.7' and it changed the radio to 106.7 FM! It's pretty sweet IMO.

Absolutely love the heated seats, but my FAVORITE part of the TOURING package is the cargo cover.

^^ LOL, is that joke?
