If you have a hard time choosing between a Base and a Nismo 370z, then you should not choose at all. Trade it in for a Focus. J/K but seriously though since you are not planning to mod it get the Nismo it has some nice perks. If you get the base with no mods in automatic, then you are letting the car drive you instead of you driving the car. I had 2 base models 6 spd, and loved them...why because I modded them. Now I have a Nismo and I love her...why because she just looks f*(^*))*ing awesome and you really are driving when you get in her...no pun intended...Either way good luck with your decision, I would have no problem choosing which model to get, they both are great, one just has a spruced up body with some mild suspension and exhaust tweaks. It comes down to your needs and I do understand the driving manual can be a PIA sometimes but go with what you are more comfortable with IMHO, then give me the Nismo
