What did you get on your Z that you see now is no big deal?

Don't suppose you can be a tad more specific for those of us who like music but aren't sound techs?

have an audio guy install if for you. it's not difficult to do, if you know wat you're doing.

No real regrets but the touring package was a waste. Only thing thats left from it is the bose radio which is coming out any day now

The only thing I didn't get with mine that I wanted was the Illuminated Door Sills.

As for the comment about everyone not getting the sport package making the "wrong" choice... I'm not so sure about that.

I did get the sport package, however I have upgraded everything on the brakes, and added an aftermarket wing. The next step would be replacing the VLSD for a real LSD.

Sport Brakes - Upgraded
Sport Wheels - Sold
Sport Aero - Removed or not installed (front chin spoiler)
Sport VSLD - Planned Replacement

So it's not a far stretch for someone planning to mod these areas to not see the sport package as worthwhile... Unless you wanted SRM on the 6MT (I don't believe that comes on a base right? Or yes?) And that doesn't impact me due to being a 7AT.

Compared to so many other cars, we don't have all that many options to choose from (or regret), which is great!

For the money, I'm pretty happy with what I got stock. Exhaust would use an upgrade no matter what, but it's not like you can do that from the dealer.

If I had anything to add, it would be that I wish I had bought it gently used and not new, but that's a budget thing, not a car thing. Maybe a new head unit so that I can tell both the song AND artist when an XM tune is playing...and cleaner ipod access.

If you're the kind of person who replaces stuff on the car, you probably would wish you hadn't gotten whatever you replace. But that's on you.

did anyone not opt for the miata door option?

No regrets here either.

However, if the Nismo was available in the US with nav and leather, I would have probably gotten one. LOVE Magma Red. LOVE it!

Looking back though, I do like the look of my Sport Touring with the Nismo front bumper conversion and a ducktail spoiler. Maybe the Sport version should include a Nismo front bumper?

A bit off topic but related since we are talking about the unit Nissan put in their audio system. Audio section has more info about how "weak" the stock nav unit is. When you set up and tune a high grade audio system, you need to set your h/u and the gains in your processors and amps to reach their maximum clean volume output just before clipping (not max power). Typical setting is 75% of max volume of your h/u with all gains in your processors and amps set to flat. Then begin to increase your gains in your amps first just before clipping and backing off a tad. Do the same with your other amps, balance it off between your sub, midbass, mid, and high amps and do the same with your processors. This is called level matching and maximizes the efficiency of every component in the chain. The head unit has to produce clean signals for clean sound. 2 volt signals are basic and 4 volt signals provide clean output down the chain. Processors and amps simply reproduce and magnify the signal. This is why 4v minimum outputs on h/u are important for good audio reproduction especially in car audio where noise easily comes in. Excellent signals from your your h/u give you more headroom in car audio. Something the stock system cannot provide when compared to aftermarket units.
