Is the Nismo good for everyday driving?

As long as you have the shipping spacers removed from the NISMO the ride isn't all that much stiffer than the Sport package Z. Though you should test them back to back to see for yourself.

The big difference will be in the luxury appointments. The 40th will get you leather, Bose (which is worlds better than the base NISMO system unless you're an audiophile and plan on replacing the system anyways), heated seats, bluetooth, etc.

For a daily driver I prefer the Sport + Touring over the NISMO mainly for the fact that it's just a much nicer car on the inside. Much easier to live with.

I DD mine and love the heck out of it. You will need to get use to the fact the bumper is going to get damaged....Just happed to mine. Nothing I could do about it just some random rock going down the road I could not avoid due to traffic. Darn thing was the size of a baseball.... /grrr

I will put it this way; everytime I have to drive I look forward to it just because I have another chance to drive my NISMO.

I would never be caught in a BMW, Cadillac or Mercedes because those are OLD MAN CARS

Yeah I'd want the interior and options on non Nismo version. Nismo is pretty basic.

I wish they would add the option of NAV to the Nismo version soooo bad.... but I am still ordering one as soon as I am able to.
