Default New Here! Need Advice!

Hi. This is my first post, and I need your guy's help. I am about to purchase a 2010 Nissan 370Z from my local dealership. They have two that I am interested in. A black 370Z coupe with the sport package, or they have a white 370z with the touring package and the nav. I wish I could afford to purchase the sport with the touring package, but that is a little out of my price range. They both have things that I want. I have heard that the stock stereo is terrible, and the Bose is much better. I would like the comfort of having a nav, but do not really have a problem going and buying a portable one and sticking it in the in dash storage unit. Please advise!

It's a lease so I can't really mess with the car much...

get the sport and upgrade the head unit, you can put it back to stock when you turn it back in quite easily if you keep all the stock parts.

Auxiliary cord and phone charger. All the navigation you'll need.

I say go sport over touring. I've got the base stereo. It's not terrific, but it's not horrid, either. Then again, test drive them both and compare notes if it's vital to you.

What do you want from the car? It all depends on your goals and plans.

Sport over touring especially if it's lease...
As you don't want to change the items from the sport package (LSD, brakes, wheels, spoiler), but like others said, you could change the HU.

HU swap is simple everything can go back to stock in just a few hours. Keep all the stock stuff and good to go.
