I love my base coupe. There is nothing "base" about it. I really didn't want the leather seats or cup holder. I didn't need power seats (another thing to brake) and living in south Texas I definitely don't need heated seats (another thing to break). As a matter of fact, I hate leather seats when it is 105 degrees outside... plus they crack. I also wanted a black car in manual so the base worked out great for me Who needs the luggage anyway??? I was just asking because I wondered if my dealer held back on me!
