Every time I see one, I think "lucky bugger!" Yes it's an aged design but that hasn't stopped Lotus (the Elise is almost 23 years old!) or similar dragging the life out of a car.

I think they have massive road presence and admire the David and Goliath job it did to Porsche way back when.

However, I'm looking forward to the GTR R36!

Looks great to me!

I’d love to have one if I could live with that ride quality as my DD.

Fantastic cars, huge road presence and really the only viable alternative to a Turbo if you need the rear seats.

At 80k they are a bargain and one of the few cars still over-engineered, hence the amazing tuning options.

Isn’t a new 911 turbo £120k? So 50% more than one of these?

Doesn’t that show that Porsche have been behind the curve for a while?

For me this car is getting a bit long in the tooth now. Still quick enough for anyone, and will get from A-B as quick as most things on the road, but Nissan needs to bring out the next model.

Preferably a bit smaller, and a lot better looking.
It won't get from A-B any quicker than anything else on the road... Never mind 600hp, a 60hp Ka included...

the new one is expected to be much more expensive than that
