As you can tell we're all zelots when it come to our love for the Nizmo. I have a Solid Red Nizmo. If your worried about the stiff ride then consider an Infiniti but for my preference there are a lot of them out there. As for the Nizmo...there is no other performance car that has it's looks and appearance. People often ask why I didn't buy the faster Corvette to which I reply that there are too many on the road, I hate being a "me-to" person or following the herd. To me it's just another car, yeah I know there are faster cars than the Nizmo...but they'll never have that look for the money. The Nizmo is in a league of it's own...it turns heads. As for color, I'd seriously look at the pearl white (be sure to tint those windows). I lived in Tucson for 5 years and black is a horrible color to keep clean. It was hard enough keeping my 350z (Daytona Blue-convertible) clean.

If there was one major complaint I had toward the Nizmo it definately is the stereo. I replaced it with an Pioneer AVIC/JL amp & 6 speakers and solved that problem. It's likely that if you bought a used Nizmo that the stereo will be an aftermarket brand. You'll need a great stereo to help muffle the tire wine...it can be deafining on roughly surfaced roads. Again, it is a sports car. Sports cars of yester-year were a lot more challenging to operate and maintain than they are today.

I don't have any regrets owning my Nizmo. It's a looker and the best damn handling car that I've driven.

Happy Motoring

PS: Invest in a good radar detector because you'll have your foot "in it" all the time...trust me - resistance is futile! My Passport 9500ix has saved my bacon more than a few times!
