And you cannot add TCS later.

When you order a car, you do not pay for it until you drive it off the lot. A deposit is usually required but, in most states, it is refundable...for any reason... by law.

Listen to this guy. he 's so right

If you upgrade the wheels to aftermarket wheels this somtimes messes with it , mine it thinks the wheels are spinning so it comes on, like if I take a hard turn even though the wheels are not slipping the TCS light comes on manily because my setup is same size wheel on all 4 I think this confuses the computer.

Get the Enthusiast, its the best bang for the buck. You can add the other stuff later but that money comes out of your pocket. Buy the Enthusiast and finance the extra money. What's $40 a month? Spend the money in your pocket of mods or save it!

Oh yeah, don't settle for something just because its what the closest dealer has in stock. Use the Internet and find a dealer that has what you want. There are dealers around Atlanta and as far as Alabama that will deliver the car to you and do the deal on your kitchen table.

Or find the car you want at another dealer and tell the dealer close to you to go get it. You're the customer, you're in charge. Remember, they aren't doing you a favor by selling you the car.

the TCS computer expects there to be a stagger in the wheels front to back so if your have a tire thats the same size or smaller in the back it will think your rear tires are spinning faster than your front tires and kick in. Most people mess up the stagger when they upgrade their wheels... I would say 90% of the wheel /tire combos sold in the private for-sale section have a SMALLER rear tire than front tire which is really bad for your TCS. They go with something like 245/35 in the front and then 275/30 in the rear b/c so few companies make 275/35.
