Im in the same boat as you. I have all the sle options except that dual climate control, traction control, and jbl system. Which none of that should make the difference. I dont get how there could be a 100lbs different.

In my old car (MX6) the difference between the MTX and ATX was over 100 pounds. I'm sure toyota is a more efficient in its engineering, so I'd guess that it's probably like a 70-80lb difference.

ok. A leather jacket is usually 5 pounds. You have about 5 jackets worth in your car.
Think over 20 pounds there

Climate Control, including the necessary sensors and wiring... I really wouldn't know how much the difference would be on this, but I think that a good guess would be around 10 pounds or more.

If you have ABS, that's 25 or 30.

JBL stereo vs toyota should be at least 30 pounds. The magnets are bigger... theres a small amplifier... and there's more wiring. Did the base models come with tweeters? I know they don't weigh much, but it all adds up.

Has anyone looked into how much the 15 inch wheels with tires weigh vs the 16's with tires?

My SE has a sunroof (and ABS), but if that was just an option on the SE, then add another 40 pounds there or so.

I'm sure there's also a ton of tiny gadgets and small differences in weight... like your automatic headlight sensors... the SE's have a more compact 3 spoke steering wheel... maybe it weighs a pound or two less.

These are all just estimations... just trying to help with the process.
