Default How to tell an enthusiast from a touring model

I was looking to buy a Z very soon and I have looked at two very nice used ones.. my question is, the seller of one of the cars says that it is the enthusiast package but the car has leather and bose... i thought only the touring model came with bose... could this person just not know what they are talking about or could those options have been added? I could you tell the difference? Thanks.

Key is heated seats; if it has them its a Touring; if not its an Enthusiast with Bose & leather added later.

Also Power Seats On Driver And Pass Side And If You Also Notice There Should Be A Vdc Off Button Instead Of Tcs Off Button. The Enthusiast Does Not Have Vdc ( I Know I Had 2 Of Them) But My Touring Does!

I was deciding between a 2003 and a 2004, both are good deals for the year and mileage, would you suggest one year over the other as far as known problems or recalls?

Also the tour model has that stupid little spoiler on the back, the enthusiast ditches that crap (although that crappy little thing could have been added aftermarket). If you couldn't tell I hate that little spoiler.

Mine came that way too. But I broke down and got the spoiler afterwards.
