Is the NISMO worth it?

this is all good feedback...I picked those 4 cars because they all serve a different purpose to me..BMW=Luxury but expensive, EVO=Handling/Touring/Snow but Sedan, Camaro=straight line balls but no handling cheaper

this is all good feedback...I picked those 4 cars because they all serve a different purpose to me..BMW=Luxury but expensive, EVO=Handling/Touring/Snow but Sedan, Camaro=straight line balls but no handling cheaper materials......NISMO=?

Personally I like to buy my cars new...its just a preference..and the reason why I'm targeting the NISMO is because of its unique style and furthermore the fact that it isn't a run of the mill 370z...its a NISMO! I was kinda thinkin just that fact is worth the money because a NISMO will resell for more than a loaded sport/touring just on the fact of its lower availability in the genre of 370's.

Among the choices available in my price range, the NISMO is the one I keep coming back to and daydreaming about and I really have a hard time finding a major con like the other cars have. I'm sure Nissan will sort out all the "Car and Driver" type issues ie oil cooler etc. Its really the only "track" style car in this price range and thats what I'm looking for, my prelude has "slider" AC controls so anything will feel luxury! I was just testing the waters here. Honestly I'm scared to test drive one anytime soon because then I will jump the gun on my budget and buy one that minute..I'm too impulsive to have no self control after a test drive...and from how many people fell in love with their cars that scares me..haha

Before my nismo, I had a RSX-S. As far as luxury goes, I think the only thing luxurious was the leather. The leather was something I can give a rats a$$ about. So it wasn't something I looked for when buying my next car.

I don't know if you need luxury but if you don't you will love a Nismo sitting in your garage. It is a car that you will not be able to drive in snow so do not expect it to be something you want to drive in the winters.

Not only is it rare in the streets but the looks are so much better than the regular 370z.

It is really all about practicality. If the 370z is going to be your DD then I wouldn't recommend the nismo.

EDIT: If you are going to test drive a nismo from the dealer, expect the ride to be much more stiffer than what it really is. Nismos come with these nasty spring spacers that are ment to be taken off when they are off the trucks. The dealer usually forgets to take one or two on each side of the car.
