Question Is this Mazda 3 I Touring or I Sport? Also is the Price right

I found this Mazda 3 in a dealer and it says is an I touring but i have my doubts it looks like an I sport but i don't know. As you can see in the Pics the Steering Wheel lacks buttons on the right, the I touring shouldn't it have those? All I'm doing is judging from the Interior probably I'm wrong.

Can anyone Confirm if this is a I touring or I sport? Also what you think about the price.

That dealer is either exceedingly incompetent or their advertisement is deliberately fraudulent. You are correct, that car is a Mazda3 i Sport. How can I tell? The wheels; contrary to their statement that it has "Aluminum Wheels", you can clearly see the steel wheels covered by faux "Aluminum Wheel" hub-caps in the photo.

I'd either bust their ***** over their ad for a way-way better price (if you're willing to opt for a Sport over a Touring), or avoid these guys like the plague.

I agree with shipo. And you are also absolutely right about the buttons on the steering wheel. I have a 2010 I touring, and that is definitely not i touring. It should of have bluetooth feature and stereo volume and channel control on the left, cruise control on the right on the steering wheel buttons.

That car is the Mazda 3i Sport. The wheels and steering wheel controls give it away. I know, I have one. When I inquired about getting alloy wheels, the dealer stated I'd have to move up to the Touring model at $2500 more. I can live without them and bought the Sport model for $15,700.
