I wonder what mine is...keep in mind, im in canada

04 VR 6mt
cloth interior
fog lights
6 disc in dash
says bose on the tweaters, but not on the door speakers like ive seen
No DSC
No sunroof
No spoiler
And I was also wondering, it has the little plastic cap things under the headlights, like it has some sort of headlight washer,but i cant for the life of me figure out how to work them, or if those are just there on every model. (i would look in the owners manual, but i dont have one...joys of buying a used car).

I was originally under the impression that its a GS because of the cloth interior and no sunroof, but now i dont know...

no,

it depends on the year..

if you have a mt you have 18" wheels. done..

if you have a mt and no fog lights you have a base.

a sport adds fogs dsc and zenons.. this is related to a 04 or 05. it gets fuzzy after that..

Can you have a sport with leather and a sunroof? Or does that then become a GT?

TC, I have a '04 Sport Model.

OK, you folks now have me curious what exactly I bought...

2004 Lightning Yellow
6-speed manual
NO sunroof
NO DSC button
TPMS
Strakes, curved spoiler, different front splitter. (see avatar)
Color-coordinated spare tire kit (?)

I'd been assuming a base model with appearance package.

I was under the impression that the sport did NOT option a sunroof. (Hence why its the lightest model). If it has a sunroof then its a touring. Leather is a GT.

To me everyone is making this way more complicated than it is lol.

That is completely wrong, there was base, sport, touring, and grand touring. Each of which offered in auto or manual. Screw Edmunds.

Hey Greg.

First, Headlight washers:

Pull the wiper stalk TWICE quickly to manually spray. And, every fifth time you use the window washer they will automatically spray.

Second, Owner's manual:

Here's a 2004 manual: CLICK HERE

Enjoy your 'new' car!!

Headlight washers? I was thinking your 8 was base/sport but.. I don't think it has bose.. I'm guessing the owner before you added the fogs and 6 disc changer afterwards. Or something..
btw, spoiler, and the appearance package is an option on every model.

If that is true, the dealer is an idiot

They had a silver and a black one there
Silver looked completely stock
Black had some body kit and stuff on there ..

He said the Silver is Touring, and black was GT ..

I guess he thought the black was the GT because it had a body kit .. ???

But anyways .. I got the silver one
