difference between the S model vs. Base model hatch?

[thebox]

googled it... no luck. anybody?

[annn]

S just has ground effects,spoilers,etc....it's just a cosmetic option..

[mryaris]

The S also comes with a leather steering wheel and different seat material/pattern......but yes, it's only cosmetic. There is nothing engine-wise or suspension-wise that is different.

perfect... i was expecting "performance". thanks, i appreciate it.

S also has a tachometer in the cluster. Yes, no performance enhancements.

Thanks for the correction! I'll have to take a peek at those 2010s.

I think the tach is installed only if you order the Power Package.

Interesting.....I do have the power package but thought all 2010's came with a tach?

Just looked at the brochure and it shows the tach being standard on sedans but part of a package on hatchbacks that require a manual tranny or the sport package. It sounds like automatic hatchbacks don't have a tach, but I'm not 100% sure on that (mine's a 5-sp.).
