Default help. decision with car

alright i know this has been brought up many of times. and i did the search button but...

im in between the 06 enthusiast and base
i live in co and there pretty limited with the blue. they only got base right now. and id have to wait for the enthusiast

what would u guys do? i know 06. has a lot more standard stuff with the base like xenon lights and 18" wheels..

also im not going to fix up the car just going to put springs/sways/wheels. nothing to fancy. and it will be my daily driver.

opinions? thanks

I'm kinda new too, but, isn't there a HP difference between enthusiast and base as well? That would be a deciding factor for me.

I'd wait. While you're dying to get into one don't settle for the one you really don't want. If anything it allows you to save up a few more dollars for your down payment while you wait.

i'd wait also...the TCS is the biggest difference...all the other stuff some people can go without...but i must saying having them has been quite nice...it's a big purchase...i wouldn't rush it just because that's all they have right now

I can’t tell you which model is best for you, but I can tell you the most popular models with 350Z owners.

I'd listen to Ky Z as well as many of the people here. You will not be disappointed with your decision to wait.
