Base model interior?

Neo187H · 01-16-2009, 12:37 AM

Does anyone have pictures of the base model interior? From everything that I have read the base model cloth isn't nearly as nice as the touring's leather but I can't find any pictures to show this and no local dealers have a car without touring. Thanks in advance for anyone with pictures or more information.

Its not necessarily the look of the interior its more of the feel. The base model feels a bit cheaper but it is still nice for what it is. I just can't stand the base model door kicks. The plastic makes it look cheap as hell

i still rather get 2 recaros over the touring seats but it can get pricey.

do a search on ebay, theres a base for sale in TN with a ton of pictures of the cloth interior, and the wierd cloth piece on the door everybody dislikes.

Nice to see someone else from Albany.

wow, i am worried now. Is base interior quality that bad?

I ordered mine base + sport package.

I wish I had seen it in real life, but there was only touring version in my dealership...

Is base cloth seat that bad quality?

Here is one on Ebay that I think is not a Touring...

No its not bad... i was just saying it feels cheaper than the touring.... Otherwise it is great for what it is. Don't worry you will like it, if you aren't coming from a benz, bmw, or lexus interior it won't bug you.

Just get the illuminated door kicks or door sills or whatever its called lol

my biggest problem with the base is the door panels too. nissan used to same cloth seat material on the door and it doesnt look as nice once youve seen the touring. other than that id have no problem with the base since its cheaper and i actually like cloth seats

the head unit also looks kinda cheap, but that can easily be swapped.

I saw the base interior last week and sat in the car. It is more than ok and better quality than the 350Z.

You can throw a set of Sparco's in it, and get the interior doors re-done!

I saw the first base in person weeks ago and as already stated the only difference, material wise, is the seats and door panel...Seats aren't that bad, but the door panel is like none other I've ever felt before...almost like panty hose material or something...
