hey guys I did some searching to find out what model 8 i have...

i have:

-leather heated seats
-moon roof
-9 way driver adjustable seat
-Bose

i drive a 05 white water pearl MT, so basically i sorta concluded that I may have a GT

so my question is was the Navi, and "advanced keyless entry and start" an optional feature because my 8 has neither, leading me to believe i have a dressed up touring.

i thought those items were standard in the GT?

You have a GT.

Definitely a GT. Touring did not have leather. Navi has always been an option regardless of trim, not quite sure if the Keyless ignition was standard or an option on the GT.

thanks for clarifying.

the GT's all had leather, Bose, and the moonroof.

The card key came in later GTs as standard equipment.

thanks for clearing that up guys, i was still unsure myself!

with that answered, somewhat related question? Is there a definitive way to tell the difference between the Base and Touring? I thought the Base didn't come with TC and the 18" wheels but I'm not sure if I read if that was an option.

all MT have 18" wheel. optional for auto. leather seat with moon roof is GT base don't have moon roof, and leather seat is optional. Navi and start are optional, the flip key came out later in 05.
