Michael Krumm Drives 2014 NISMO Z
 

Nice, although I will say that it's weak that he "put it to the test" for 8 seconds, lol

And if the steering wheel is the MOST memorable part, they need to work on the car more, LOL

Troof...

Not sure if they made any suspension changes over previous Nismo models though. Stock exhaust still sounds terrible... Not sure who in Nissan signed off on either one, but they need fired. Seats work, but aren't spectacular. Push back on the headrest and you can feel the metal rods in your back. Did he even touch the brake pedal or comment on them at all? I am a fan of the whole 2 tone package though, and that's very subjective.

Well I think the whole headrest thing is actually supposed to be a "feature". Maybe its supposed to support your head but pushing into your back when you get rear ended. At least that is how I interpreted it. But I could be wrong....

According to many of the euro mags and websites, the suspension tuning from the euro Nismo Z is different from the american.

I wish we could hear what he really thinks after the beat the sh*t out of it. Of course it's an advertisement. Maybe behind the scenes he told them what the shortcomings were so that Nissan can incorporate those improvements into a new model year....I can dream.

First positive review in years.

Anyone else notice that this Nismo has the Nav?

i think touring and nav are options in canadian nismos too

F'ing Garbage. The sole reason i didn't get a Nismo was because it didn't have the touring/Nav. Otherwise I would have gotten it.

I mean seriously why would someone pay 40k+ and not want leather????

No, Canadian Nismos are similarity equipped as US. No option for nav/leather seats neither. And they were only available for 2011 up here

Was I the only one that had to use Google to find out who this person was?

:confused:

The comments or at least the sequencing was scripted. It closely follows Nissan's three layer philosophy:

Layer 1: Comfort
Layer 2: Operational Needs of Driver
Layer 3: Informational Layer (gauges etc)

I would. I don't like it. Waking up at 230 in cold *** weather (for us Cali people at least) the last thing you want is to plop down in a freezing *** leather seat while half asleep that takes 10 mins to warm up. Even with seat Warner's it's not much better. Same for summer. Sitting down in a chair that burns you after a long day at work sucks. I love my cloth recaros

As far as the prettyness over normal cloth tho, a definite yes. Especially in grey/persimmon (or whatever it's called)

I prefer the cloth Nismo seats over the leather based on looks AND comfort. Purely subjective though. I believe you slide around a lot less with the cloth weave as well.
