GT Package Yes or No?
IMO:
The GT package is worth it, but MANY others disagree. So let's pick it apart and provide newbies and those yet to place their order with some friendly insight. . . For me, if the GT package is the only way to get that two tone leather interior with the door trim . . . get it. It is awesome (quality and look) This is how I see the GT package being justified: Leather: $1750 (even base leather is over a grand in most two-seater sports cars) Moonroof: $700 (usually a $1000 or more option, but it is small and does not open all the way) Power & Lumbar Seat: $300 (well it is lame that it does not include both seats, so I hammer Mazda on this one) Heated Seats and Mirrors: $400 (work well, good for a few months here in Altanta). Xenons: $500 (very cool, as good as any other car company) Fog Lights: $150 (not a very expensive option in most cars) Mirror with Homelink: $150 (if I can get it to work with my garage door opener, day/night is nifty) DSC: $300 (approx. invoice of other sports cars) BOSE $0 (useless in my opinion, no changer as originally promised) Total: $4250 SO, even if I screw Mazda on the power seat and Bose issue, the GT package comes out well worth it. What do you all think? |
GT is the best way to go.
It will also help its resale value (not that I plan on selling mine anytime soon) ;) |
Okay I pulled my notes on this one.
To me, the essentials are covered in the Sport pkg. for man/auto models. BUT considering use and "luxury" (nice stuff) BOSE radio - no highs no lows, thats BOSE (just kidding) homelink (had to erase mine to get working but great feature) heated mirrors (for fog and dew) THESE ARE USEABLE ITEMS Fluff - see below moonroofs are okay but heated seats are well, FL is a hotbed. Leather eh, looks good but cloth is okay too. Cloth holds you in better (I think) I would either consider the Sport or go all the way for the GT as I did and have it all except NAV (don't travel distance enough) Final Verdict GT yes unless I could not swing the extra $2800 (less spt pkg) but I would not do without the sport pkg PERIOD. |
this i agree
for me, what really matters are the high-power motor, 6-speed, HID, foglights, and DSC. the rest are all nice extras that i don't mind living w/o. curiously, i'm beginning to not like the sunroof so much, after seeing one w/ it open for the first time today. and lots been saying that the BOSE isn't so great? being that i'd add and change things when i get mine, it's nice to save a little $. just one man's opinion :D no doubt it's a pretty good value, tho, and the two-tone leather is hot, although they only come in all black w/ yellow anyway. if they also offer black/yellow, then it'd be different |
