Default A Few Questions about Trim level and Seats

Well I'm still searching for a Z, since I've decided now to get a 6MT rather than a 5AT . However, I found one that had the cloth seats and navi. Which trim could this be, because unless I'm mistaken, navi is only available on the touring and up, and must be pre-wired at the factory. Would it be a performance, or what (no brembos)? Which brings me to my next question. Because I was looking at 5AT's before, it was pretty much limited to enthusiasts and tourings. I wanted a touring because they are pretty much the same price, just with a few extra perks, but now that I'm looking for a 6MT my options have opened up. I've heard that VDC can be very useful in some situations, so I would probably opt for a Z that has it. But I'm not sure which models have it. I know base and enthusiast don't, and touring does, but what about the other trims? And last question, now that I'm looking at pretty much every trim except for base, I need to decide whether to go for leather seats in the touring or the cloth seats. This is a pretty subjective question, but which ones do you guys like more in terms of looks, comfort, how easy they are to keep clean, etc.? I just kind of need some opinions on this to help me consider the choices. I suppose heated seats would be nice, but I doubt they would see too much use in socal. I wanted to get a SB with black or BO leather seats before, but this seriously limited my options, so I doubt I'll let these two things hold me back.
Thanks.
And sorry for always posting really long threads guys.

performance (which they don't make anymore) and up has vdc.
don't let cloth seats keep you from buying one you like. you can easily get leather in the aftermarket. i got leather (aftermarket) cuz it looks and feels so much better, but that's just mo.

The most popular model is the Touring. So yes, owners chose VDC and leather seats.

Navi was offered in Performance, Touring and Track editions. If it has nav and cloth seats and Brembo's its a track model. If no Brembo's its a Performance model. FYI-VDC is standard on Performance up....

VDC comes on Performance, Touring MT, & Track. VDC does NOT come on Touring AT.

I refuse to buy any car with leather. I hate sliding around when I take a corner quickly.

That's why there are bucket seats
