2010 vs 2011 Nismo

ImportConvert

I'd buy Touring + Sport. The NISMO is a ripoff in my book as it weighs more, and has less features, than any other trim level.

I would prefer the Touring, b/c it comes with features that most would want when it comes to resale, and they do add value:

Leather-appointed power heated seats with synthetic suede inserts, driver's adjustable lumbar support, digital Bose® audio system with 8 speakers, including 2 subwoofers, XM® Satellite Radio, [2] Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, HomeLink Universal Transceiver, auto-dimming rearview mirror, aluminum-trimmed and rear cargo cover.


For me, thats i took the Touring w/ Sport + Navi which provides level of comfort, look and interior appointments.

Nismo is a made for a very particular niche group of enthusiasts and Nissan can markup the price and sell the car to that demographic.

But when it comes to resale, I think it will be more difficult to sell a Nismo, say in three years, b/c it will likely have been modded further, driven on the track, which may turn away buyers, but I am sure for those enthusiants looking for good deals, Nismo will be worth the price.

less features than any other trim level? i dont want to turn this into a nismo vs _____ thread...but how is this so?

the nismo is essentially a base/sport + nismo goodies. the only things it doesnt have versus the only other trim (ie..touring) would be leather, navi option, and bose stereo.
