Considering a 370Z Nismo

what im trying to say, you will definitely miss the power unless you put forth for a turbo and in that case id buy a base with sport.

Why is that? I was thinking that the Nismo would be a more sturdy car...? Is this flawed thinking?

The Nismo is just a Base+Sport with a body kit, a suspension that plenty of Nismo owners upgrade anyway, a cat back and slightly better tune, and a set of sweet wheels. If you have extensive mod plans, the Nismo is kind of a waste unless you really love the body kit.

I do NOT want to mod it much, if any at all since I want it to share dd with my other car. I'm done with the cars that's only weekend, and then only if the weather is nice.

Since I want it to share dd duty, I want a solid car that offers some fun to drive and is reliable.

Would I get that with the Nismo. I like the way it looks but will settle for the sport model. I am also worried the nismo will bite the pavement on sharp inclines and end up destroying the front air dam.

Is this a problem dd this car (model)??

(dd=daily driving)

Most people think the Nismo is noticeably harsher than the sport. For a DD, the sweet spot IMO would be a touring+sport.

Never mind you're going from a V8 to V6

Yes, I am. I 'think' I'll be happy with a V6 as a fun car to drive and offer reliability for a daily driver. Should I look elsewhere, and stay with a V8?

Add: another reason I'm looking at V6 is fuel economy since I will daily drive this new car along with my other.....I do get reimbursed for mileage, but only at 42/mile....so, that alone rules out a V8 because of city driving, they still suck the fuel. I know fuel prices are down right now, but how long that will last is anybodies clue.....I'd be rich if I could predict that lol!!
