I've driven the new Base - it's nice. Hard to tell if the power bump is really noticeable over the 08 version (which I ended up buying due to the deal). Thinks I like most are the interior changes including BT and iPod connections. I like the new exterior design but like the 987 and 986 designs too - each has it's merits.

Personally, I drove S's and bases and decided to go base. I'd like the extra kick but don't think I'll miss it 95% of the time. The 245/201 combo in my new 08 feels like enough of an upgrade over the 217/192 combo in my 02.
