Who it suits

This layout suits someone who wants a two-seat car with rear-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. The 19 combined MPG rating fits a buyer willing to budget $4,350 a year for fuel under EPA estimates.

Trade-offs

The two-seat body limits passenger space. City driving is rated at 17 MPG, below the 24 MPG highway figure, and the EPA annual fuel cost is $4,350. In return, the car pairs a turbocharged 3.0 L six-cylinder engine with rear-wheel drive.

Verdict

Choose the Z NISMO if a two-seat layout and rear-drive arrangement matter more than fuel spending. Its automatic transmission is part of the powertrain, while the EPA numbers set clear expectations: 19 MPG in mixed use, 17 in town, and 24 on open roads. Plan around the stated $4,350 yearly fuel estimate, and remember that this is a gasoline car with two seats rather than a flexible people mover.
