Now, the good news is that this includes\u00a0 the Summer Tire Performance Package\u00a0 with the 19″ Polished wheels with summer performance tires, HID headlamps, fog lamps, performance cooling system, sport performance suspension, limited-slip differential, and performance brakes.\u00a0 The summer performance tire package also triggers the FE3 sport suspension.<\/p>\n
What you don’t get<\/strong><\/p>\n
For true sports car appeal, these prices include the 6 speed manual transmission; the automatic is $1,300 extra.\u00a0 The Recaro Sport Seats are a tempting, but they require that the Performance Luxury Package and a number of other options, including Automatic transmission be selected.\u00a0\u00a0 The Performance Model does not include the Navigation system, although you can add options that include it.\u00a0 For weight savings stay away from the sunroof option.<\/p>\n
