the steering wheel tells you alot, if it has cruise control options it's an enthusiast, if it's got brembo's it's a track and if it's got volume control/cruise control options on the steering wheel leather seats and brembos you're looking at a grand touring, gl with your purchase my man! ALSO look for HID's if no HID's it's base no matter what he's done to the interior.

I don't think there was a grand touring in '03. Just touring. I wouldn't buy an '03 myself, even with low mileage, unless he had every tsb done, the alignment done with a certified nissan machine, and the tranny checked. 20K for a 4 year old car is a bit too much, unless it's a track model.

Cruise control, its at least an enthusiast. 18" wheels, HID, Bose 6 disc, no Brembo, chances are it's a touring. Brembos, its a track. None of the above, its a base. Looks kinda weird, it's actually an RSX

Steering wheel is the easiest way. If it doesn't have any buttons it is a base, if it has anything on it it is at least an Enthusiast. Performance I know has the TPS, VDC/VCS, HID, cruise control, 18" wheels.

Y'all need to stop bashing the 2003s.

20K for a 4 year old car is a bit too much, unless it's a track model.
Bah. Mine had 32,500 when I got it last May. It is now almost a year later. 20k over 4 years is nothing.

I see Cruise Control, but nothing else. That looks like leather to me.

Touring model says I


I thought that Touring had stereo controls on the wheel though, or is that just Track/Grand Touring?

none of the 03's come with steering wheel controls

thats definitely a touring... its got power seats, bose sound system, heated seats.... Somehow he got the 17's on it though....
