can someone tell me the best ways to look at a enthuasist and tell it from a base? i need to know b/c im going to look at one on a lot in the morning and i would like to know how i can tell the difference before i drive 100 miles to look at it..

 

cruise control on the steering wheel, drilled pedals, hid headlights (bluish color), tcs button on the dash by the gas cap button

 

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.

 

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!?

 

i didnt ask him b/c it wasn't on my mind it was just that i found a ppw auto in my price range and i let it slip my mind but i am happy b/c it is an enth....b/c ican clearly see the buttons on the right side of the wheel.......but all enth have hids and the lsd correct? what int features are standard on the enth and not the base anything special b/c i no the car is not leather but can it have anything else?

 

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

 

yeah enthusiast comes with LSD but he cant tell if it has it just by looking at the car

 

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