For my it was I wanted the slightly modded and knew I was going to upgrade parts anyway. I probably could have got away with a base but at least the brakes and wheels and diff were worth it. My 2cents.

Body kits aren't that expensive if you get a Replica or like a Stillen front

Personally, if you were to keep the car 100% stock, and/or you DIE for the Nismo body kit, get it... If not, don't, don't even think about it, that 18HP "upgrade" is offset by the extra weight.
To me, and I think many agree, the Nismo is just a base+sport with body kit and the tinsel of "go faster" added.


I have a Sport Touring, and I'm happy I do. A LOT of people complain about the base seats and while the seat heaters add weight the leather makes just a sports car into a sport "luxury" car

If your going to change the exhaust and the suspension then why not get a base and save allot of money.

Sport pkg is well worth the money. Got to get the sport pkg to have SRM.

I had a sport touring before I bought my Nismo,I don't think the sport package is bad but I traded it for a Nismo.

I guess like in a post earlier its the 'exclusivity factor' as long as i can get a good deal on the nismo.

I paid $42K for my Nismo. When a loaded touring can run you more than a Nismo.
