Platinum or SR?

I cant' decide which trim I want. I would get 20 inch wheels for the Platinum since I like the memory feature and sunroof. I also like the suspension settings and the 19's on the SR plus the camel interior. What should I do?

It's personal preference. I went with the Platinum because it had a smoother ride and Michigan has terrible roads.

No right or wrong answer here. It comes down to preference as Viper786 said. I test drove both and preferred the Platinum. It also offers more features.

Viper and FattiesG are both right, I went with the SR, the open roads here in NC are wide open and the control on the curvs is great for country back roads. The SR didnt feel rougher or harder to me when i drove it but most complain about it. The SR comes with 19" and there is plenty of tire so its not like your riding on "low pros" so you have more than enough tire as long as you dont go put it on 20" But like they stated and i agree its all about preference and your feel of driving.

I wanted the around view monitor and sunroof. I also wanted the SR wheels. So I bought a Platinum and the SR wheels. WIN

Drive both and see which one you like best. I bought the SR because I wanted the sport ride and I couldn't be happier. The car is a blast to drive around on back roads.

DUDE, Platinum all day!! you will regret getting the SR. you can change the suspension on the platinum for a couple g's and have a better ride with the platinum.

I bought the Platinum because I wanted the sunroof more than the shift paddles and special wheels. In my younger years I might have gotten the SR. My older Max ('97) is the SE model with the 5-speed stick.
