im very happy i did not get a base. i searched for over a month, put TONS of hours into finding a white, base, with sports 6 spd. couldnt do it! i really wanted white, and sports, and needed a stick shift (to deter the GF from driving it), so i settled for the only one i could find, touring sport with nav.
turns out, that is my favorite part of the car. coming from a truck with 420+ hp, that handles great, i found myself loving the leather, luxury, and nav. not saying i would not be happy with the sports, but in my case it was meant to be!

I've met only one girl who is very good with cars, but she's a tomboy and not the most attractive of girls. Unless the girl is God-given, the tradeoff is going to have to come somewhere...

I was ok with that. It was the image conjured up by the phrase "fowling up a heel-toe" that got me.

this is on a smaller level, but back in the day, the ITR was the "track model" for integras, but people still upgraded them to make them "track worthy". whether you have base or sport, if you're hardcore, you'll always want more. well, at any rate, i wish i could afford both touring and sport, but i'd really like the navi in my brand new car. having all the tech stuff in the interior just makes me feel more rewarded for all my hard work. i really wish nissan would allow us to just stick the navi into the base models though.
oh, and yes, the "S-mode" is the stupidest thing i've ever seen in a manual car. |

It's a good thing for teaching new people, and it probably makes stop and go traffic just a bit more bearable.

Ummm, it is a great way for those less experienced on the track to be able to jump in have one less thing in the equation to worry about. As you progress you can turn it off and learn to heal/toe properly. Remember the feature is either 100% on or off so if you do not like it just turn it off. Also, I will say that SRM is great for traffic in a manual, have to do less work (not the same as an automatic though).
