I've been in the same position many times. You're absolutely right - I've never sat in a car I've bought, and wished I had bought a lesser version. But, a number of times I've had the opposite reaction, and wished I'd sprung for the higher end version.

This is purely a 'toy' second car decision for me. It's a 'want' car, not a 'need' transportation car (like I suspect the 370Z is for most owners). At 60, and after having owned 104 cars in my life (yes, I know, it's a disease, and I'm not right in the head, I'm a deeply disturbed man), this may well be one of the last (if not the last?) 'toy' car I buy (though I hope not!).

A dealer offered me a great deal on a Sport, which I was going to take. You've inspired me to go for what I really 'want', which is a Nismo.

Thank you!
