To LSL or not to LSL that is the question..

[Matt007b]

Ok some of you probably have seen me lurking around the for sale section..a little about me.

I'm dealing with an illness which I think is caused by food intolerance (embarassing but true) so i'm hardly working and doing this trial by error diet as the doctor ordered and having *some* sucess, and to pay off the medical debt I just got the parents to buy my miata 99' (lowered it to blue book..hopefully they'll keep good care of it, my dad always wanted a convertable, I was hoping to sell it to someone else so I wouldn't have to play musical chairs with cars here or watch the parents destroy it but the market for cars selling wise.....sucks.)

Anyway to my question... so I'm looking at a few SVX's around the country online...willing to fly there and drive one back, always wanted one since they came out in the 90's, I'm A HUUUUGE FAN OF THE CAR, such great design and styling...looking for clean, low mileage..good condition, and once I start working and feeling better i'll buy one (hence i'm looking now) but I have a question.

I know the 92 Svx LSL (touring package) has a variable electronic controlled rack and pinion deal that the LS does not have..also the LSL has power seat/leather/6 speakers instead of 4..heated mirrors..

I like the pearl white with black top a LOT..but sadly the one i'm looking at is a 92' LS model with cloth seats/4 speaker set up and no cd player..everything else is great and I can live without heated mirrors (was thinking down the road i'd maybe get those JMD folding ones). Would I be missing out a lot on that electronic controlled steering function? Is it work looking out for? Or holding out buying one for?? Does it make a huuge difference in handling? I'm not looking to race this car, just a good handling day driver (I don't drive very much) Any LS 92 owners wishing they had it?

The LSL model i'm looking at doesn't have a rear wing, and i'll probably get a OEM one if I get that one...but it's slightly more expensive of course than the LS. Wonder how hard that is to install..

IF I got the pearl white, how hard would it be to install those tweeters in the corners? Are they prewired? I guess the biggest question is, is that steering assist option that comes with 92' touring package worth wanting? Can you really tell a difference?

Ok that's my million questions in one post (sorry) but new user here and thanks for the informative site! *bows* I've got 3 in my sights and I was watching a few others (bountiful utah/vancover washington but of course they sell before I get feeling better) but just wondred if anyone could chime in about the electronic steering option on those cars. Worth getting?
