Test drove a 370Z base with sport package and was really not impressed at all. Steering felt mushy. Engine tame and docile, not to mention you couldn't even hear it! Gear box felt notchy. Car felt like a bad rental with no road feel whatsoever. View from the drivers seat lame when compared to my RX-7 or Mini or Vette---there is no view of muscular body---just hood bump.

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
