Help me decide between a 2010 Speed and a 2012 Base

Hello all, I am currently looking at a 2010 Speed with 17K miles. I'm pretty set on the Speed but wondering if I should spend a little more and buy a 2012 base. Asides from the obvious cosmetic changes and navigation/audio changes, what else is different?

main difference is engine, 600hp, plus mulliner, but thats an option, mine in fact does not have, but its does have the up-dated steering wheel, plus the new nav-system which is a big improvement, blue tooth, iphone connection. styling is also different front, and rear,20 inch speed wheels. Rear passengers get reclining seats, heated,cooled, massage on all seats.suspension tweeks. so there is a lot of changes, plus the engine is BLACK,and speed on the doors sills.

Are you sure your car is a 2012 Speed? From my research and what other dealers have told me, the Speed was only available in 2010 and 2013. Which is why I was wondering if I should get a 2010 Speed or 2012 Base as the 2013 Speed is more then I wanna spend. PM me your number.
