It depends on what you mean by "noticeable". In my case, I definitely wanted the Xenons, I liked the rain sensing wipers, and I could take or leave the "premium" Bose sound. The cost difference was worth it to me- YMMV...

Here is an entire list of the differences...

True, but I don't think thats what he was wondering about...

I know the site diffs, just meaning like to people who own it, like do u wish u got the GT is it worth the extra money, like i am more likely to afford the sport then the GT right now, is it really worth waiting few more months to get a GT ?? dont care about the bose or rain sensor

I really love the leather with the alcantara, the xenon headlights and the led taillights, so I think its worth it. Everyone is different though, you have to make the call on that!

very true, just hope i dont regret buyin the sport and being like shoulda spent like 2k more for the gt

Glad I got my GT:
HID
Rain Sensing Wipers
Leather
Bose System (not all that really)
LED Tail Lights


I was thinking the same thing the OP stated... will I regret it later or not? Besides, at the time, I figured, a limited production car?!(yeah right lol) I'm going all the way mang... I left out the Navi since I have a TOM TOM which is far more superior than the one offered, and its portable.

Go with the GT, you'll be happy in the long run...

god will all this for the GT seems like i am going to have to really think about it. Also another thinging i have been wondering, when do u think the latest i can wait to buy a new one?

you can reserve one in your name, and custom build it... go to your dealer, and use a CC to reserve it... that way later on, if you decide to cancel, they can't keep your cash, or check if they try to pull a fast one... with a CC you can just call the CC company and tell them to cancel that transaction.

as for how long? not so sure bud.

Every time I turn my lights on at night brings a smile to my face. I love the HIDs. That's why I needed the GT.

I think I would have seriously regretted not getting the GT version, there is just so much to the package that adds to the ownership/driving experience.

Well, from my experience I didn't have to custom build it because they had already ordered one to the specs I wanted (there are only like 4 combos or less I think). Its a good chance you can reserve one that has already been ordered and you still should get a good price. I reserved one and I still paid under invoice.

I was emailing 2 dealers for a CWP GT with sirius and one wouldnt go under 24800 and other offered 24450 but with tax and dmv was like 26xxx, seems like a lot to me. and parent are way against me on buying it.

Well the sticker prices are usually 27+ (from what Ive seen). Are they against you buying it because you can't afford it? I find its always smart to listen to my parents advice, but obviously I can't comment on your situation.

well they are more like why do u need, u have a car already. They like hate buying new things. and want me to start saving since i just spend all my winnings.

True, I think there are some things that parents just don't understand... (or remember when they would have understood)
