Default For those with Sports Package

Still tossing around the idea of the sports package for the ride height and the alum trim. Has anyone experienced problems with the 1/2 inch drop? I wouldn't think it would be much of a concern (ground clearance) but since the midwest region is not going to order the sports package I'll never know until I order one.

My vote is for the sports package and my wife is looking for me to get the wood trim with the black interior.

Thanks.

I ordered the sports pkg because I wanted the ride height, firmness, and metal trim.
I ordered it with black headliner but we will see in Feb.

I got the sport package cause i want to put as little of aftermarket stuff on my car as possible. I love the aluminum look trim although it is pressed plastic. Only thing I like about the luxury package is the illuminated door sills. The pedals on the sport pacakge are nicer too but those are easy to buy.

The lighted door sills are also easy to buy, and cheap. There is info about this in other threads here.

Worst thing about the sport package is the rougher/stiffer ride. If the non-sport came with the metal-look interior, I'd take it in a heartbeat over the sport package. I'd rather have a smooth ride, even if it corners with slightly less ability.

The low profile tires are also noisey, but you can get those without the sport pack of course.
