04 touring because I got a crazy good deal on it. Would have gone with an 04 track if they weren't so overpriced and hard to find.
If you ever plan on tracking the car, do NOT get leather interior!

I think touring is the sweet spot with a NICE deal.

I sent for quotes from 3 dealers on all models...see what they come back with. I figure whatever they email me i can go another 300-400 or so down...we'll see what they have to offer.

I got the top of the range (track), it costs a lot of money over here and a long term financial decision on my behalf so I wasn't just going to get the bare minimum.

I got the Touring, but if I had to do it again, I would've chosen the Enthusiast for the cloth seats.

Because I don't feel connected to the seat with the leather. Leather seats always feel slippery, to me, at least.

I got my new 08 GT /w nav and the extra airbags for $36k plus tax. Dealers are willing to move cars.

I got the GT for all the luxury options that come with the Touring, and for my purposes the rims and brakes that came with the GT sufficed. My reason for getting the car overall is I wanted a ~300HP RWD car with decent luxury options (leather, navi, bluetooth, 6 disc changer, etc.). If you want to put on a ton of aftermarket items, I'd go for a base of enthusiast.
