I drove both, and I could actually feel the difference in handling. Whether its 3000$ worth of handling is debateable. Besides ATTS and stiffer suspension, there is different front suspension geometry, no auto available, LED spoiler, painted bumper and side skirts, door lights, leather wrapped shift nob, different rims and a few minor things like slightly quicker steering ratio. Oh, if you live in Canada, you get leather heated seats.
