Well if you want a leather interior you most certainly have to go for the LS model, I've never seen leather in other base models. Not sure if you can get the full gage set up otherwise either. However the floor shift is available in some of the more basic models. I would also seriously consider getting the 3.8 ltr rather than the 3.4 HP is 215 vs 210 for the 3.4 but the torque 235 for the 3.8 vs 215 for the 3.4 is the big diff here. Aslo I believe you get better mileage from the 3.8 from what I have been reading here and other sites, the best I have gotten is 23 combined w/3.4 I've read some here say they are getting 27-30 w/3.8 but I cannot verify that figure. Make sure you check the fit and finish of carpet, I didn't check mine and found it was cut short inside back seat area and in the trunk. Fairly good ride but not near as good as my 92 Lumina Euro. Might be because of crappy uniroyal tires?? Bigest or most often complained about area is the brakes, warpage of front rotors seems to be the main issue but then I've noticed no problem and could be driver habits being the main cause.
