I dont know about the 06's, but I think the rest of the years the base didnt have homelink on the mirror, and no cruise control. Im not 100% sure though.

Default Differences between models

The first thing to examine is the steering wheel: the Base model has deleted any cruise control switches on the steering wheel. The Enthusiast model has CC and the switches are clearly visable on the right side aluminum steering wheel spoke.

Besides that, you can look at the headlights and see whether the car has halogen bulbs (base) or HID (enthusiast). The Enthusiast also offers a LSD and you could jack the rear diff up and rotate one tire and see if the other spins. If it's an open diff- like the base model offers- you can spin one tire freely.

Does the seller not know what Z model s/he has for sale!?

enthusiast gets the lsd, HIDs, traction control, and aluminum pedals i believe. I have the base, I was so close to getting the enthusiast just because of the lsd, but the deal was on a base so..

To answer your question, yeah all enthusiasts have lsds and HIDs, thats standard

If your are asking about new cars, just look at the dealer sticker in the window. Used, it's the cruise control.
