Default How to identify Touring package?

Hey guys, considering buying a 370Z. When I'm looking on autotrader and the like, how do I identify a touring model? I thought I was looking for leather/power seats but all of the ones that I see listed as Touring have cloth and manual seats. Since I probably have to drive a couple hours to find what I want I would like to be sure before I go.


Thanks for your help!

Those are incorrectly marked, then. Touring adds the heated leather seats (power) and Bose sound system.

Lol... That makes me want to laugh again.

He believed the sales guy it was a sports and got shafted when he saw others with the bigger nicer brakes. Then he made a thread asking to buy aknbonos

Looking at the head unit of the stereo is the easiest to tell for me personally.

This is the base stereo:



This is touring:

I think I see my confusion now. I assumed power seats would be 100% powered, but I guess the controls are on the inner side of the seat and they all still have palm knobs on the outer side.

Touring also included the homelink transmitter, correct?

How can one identify the Bose system from the base system?

Thanks again. I'm a corvette guy who knows every last detail but just started considering a Z and have a bit to learn.

Is that true even for a 2010 model? If so there are a TON of mislisted cars on autotrader.

The easiest way to tell base v touring:
On the exterior, look for the bump on the roof near the rear glass. This is the antenna for sat radio & such that only comes in the touring.

It's easier on the Base to upgrade. I think the Bose system in the Touring complicates things a bit.

Sort of like this local ad:

NISMO? I think not. AND FWD (front wheel drive). Or is it Four Wheel Drive:

2008 Nissan 350Z NISMO Coupe

As far as I know, it holds true, but in all honesty, I harldy ever ask what MY any particular Z is.
