after having driven the standards at work for the past two years and now my brand new Touring #3 I have to say yes....for me anyway. The firmer and tighter suspension makes it well worth it and more fun to drive,

plus I did not have to upgrade to package #4 to get the High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps and integrated fog lamps......my aging eyes need the HIDs at night and the foglights look cool
