The 12 has a cheap oil cooler that may or may not work depending on how you drive which means you still need the 34row cooler if you plan on using your Z car as a sports car and not the I have the new car on the block car for everyone to look at.
Other than that its the same sh1t. You get clearance price on the 11 while the 12 makes for closer to MSRP pricing. If you are interested in nav? Good luck all around...

Is a good source for features. They may still have the 11 link to go with the 12 link? Check it out... then test drive one... then come back and ask more questions.

hmm... yeah I'm having an issue finding a 2012 with NAV and sprt package. The reason I ask is because I talked to a dealer today that has a 2011 with both options. So I'm debating on just picking up the 2011 touring manual.
And you're saying the Oil cooler in the 2012 is worse than the 2011? Damn, i might as well do a 2011

No, there is no stock oil cooler for the '11. You would have to add an aftermarket one. There has been *one* report of an elevated oil temp in a 2012 during the break in period.

Besides, the majority on here will tell you that unless you track your car you don't need the oil cooler anyway.

2012 has heated side mirrors to prevent fogging?

That basically sums it up, and a not a very good one a that, more for a spirited drive rather than for real track use.
