Just for fun and sheer curiousty, gave one a spin yesterday. The styling is not for everyone. So i thought i would see what this vehicle is about. The drive was eye opening. Not what i expected. The turbo in the sport mode gets you moving. It was fun to drive. The interior was ok. Enough gadgets to keep the driver interested. Navi/3 driving modes/Front and rear cameras/Rockford fosgate stereo. Driving position and seats were comfortable. For the money difference, the NISMO edition is the way to go.

I considered one but you can`t get the manual with AWD.

Yea. Looks like the NISMO RS is manual only.

The RS has a CVT option too, but is a must with AWD. If I were to get an "SUV" it would have to be AWD.

I drove one for a few weeks. bought it at the auction and the title took a little longer than usual so I had it for about 20 days. nice to drive, nothing special.

My wife has one. I drive it on occasion. It has plenty of power and can be fun to drive, but I am not a fan of CVT technology. I haven`t driven the Nismo version but I assume the body roll has been lessened. You get used to the looks. The main thing we don`t like is the lack of rear seat room. I have a 15 year old son who is close to 6 feet tall and he complains about headroom and legroom. It should not be a problem in a year when he gets his own car.
