Before you rip me a new *******, I want honest opinions on whether it is worth driving an hour to test drive a Nismo version. How different is it?

Thx for any assistance

Probably the only difference will be the handling. I drove my friends Touring model and even with the upgrades the touring had, the Nismo felt better. I modded mine to get a better sound. The nismo does not sound any meaner at all. They sure made the car quiet. Cant comment on the view, I have no problems with the view. I would rather drive this car then any Vette out there!

must be that you are use to the short wheel base and direct imput from the RX and Vett. But the Mini? Is it an older one, cause I raced one of those around a track all day, ont a day trip and it was horrible. Felt like a plastic POS with a lawnmore engine. Just my honest opinion.
