Nismo Recaro seat comfort?

Kirk, you just influenced a decision I was about to make. You make a lot of sense, and there's a lot of wisdom in what you said.

I've been in the same position many times. You're absolutely right - I've never sat in a car I've bought, and wished I had bought a lesser version. But, a number of times I've had the opposite reaction, and wished I'd sprung for the higher end version.

This is purely a 'toy' second car decision for me. It's a 'want' car, not a 'need' transportation car (like I suspect the 370Z is for most owners). At 60, and after having owned 104 cars in my life (yes, I know, it's a disease, and I'm not right in the head, I'm a deeply disturbed man), this may well be one of the last (if not the last?) 'toy' car I buy (though I hope not!).

A dealer offered me a great deal on a Sport, which I was going to take. You've inspired me to go for what I really 'want', which is a Nismo.

Thank you!

Glad I could inject a little insanity into your life, lol.
Like I said early on, there was a bit of a learning curve with the seats, but now it's smooth sailing. Enjoy your car when you get it. (I drove 600 miles round trip to get mine!)

Well Analogman welcome to the club of sick car buyers.

My wife tells me I have a sickness. I have been driving the same car for 10 years now (2008 VWPassat wagon) With a 2012 Z thrown in a few years ago to help with my aliment. I am now looking at cars again to buy a new toy. I have looked at the Corvette but just not for this old guy (63). I am still looking at the F-Type jag, this a a nice car. i am also looking at the Nismo Z having owned 4 Z cars over the years. Great car for the money and the local dealers has 3 2017 Nismo Z that were Nissan executive cars with under 10K on them. Cant beat the car for the money. But the jag is very sexy. Tough choice.
