Is the nismo worth it

CCastro · 01-24-2017, 12:54 PM

I say get the Nismo. I had a 10 Base Sport when it first came out and had to sell it 5 years ago. I just bought a 10 Nismo, the ride is totally different from a base sport. The driving experience is well worth more than the creature comforts of the touring (if that is what you are looking for). The styling is also worth more in my opinion. You'll be among the few with a Nismo edition car.

If it's a 2010, it still keeps the 3.69 diff, the wheels, body kit, numbered, chassis dampers, slightly upgraded front strut bar, uprated springs, dampers, and sways, dual exhaust, and a bunch of Nismo logos with red sticking on the interior.

For $2,000 more than a sport model, it's an easy choice. In 2010, there was no bose audio system or optional back up camera in the mirror.

There is still a lot of value choosing the nismo. I traded my 2011 sport package 370Z for my 2013 Nismo, but it was a combination of the color and it being on the nismo, I was in love

Just talked to original owner he has never had the issue with csv and had clutch checked out while under warranty because he said the dual clutch is louder than normal..He did have the steering column lock issue fixed.
He had a long commute to work and most miles are highway doesnt sound like he beat the car he is 57 and stored it every winter.
Cant think of much else the dealer who has it offers aftermarket warrany.So if i see it this week ill post.

Why settle for less? You'll be happier with the Nismo.

that is the 15+ package, the 2010 wont have all that.

Having owned a 2013 and now a 2017 Nismo I would say my 13' was not worth it coming from owning a well done 350z enthusiest model.
The 2015+ is wellllllll worth it. I got the tech as well and this car is my favorite car I've ever owned and that's a big thing for me to say since my 350z was my baby!

Well to be honest both cars are incredibly beautiful but the widebody lool of the nismo is awesome.

Body should be the same? You mean the Nismo aero? But yes, the Nismo is very unique in that sense.

the nismo is not widebody

Nismos have stiff suspension and steering and they're noisy. I absolutely love mine and wouldn't have it any other way. I had an '08 Roadster and it was more civilized but not the same on a mountain road.
