Well, after too many years after the Coupe died, I am back in the 200+ club.

After an Alfa, various cheap smokers, a Z4 and a Honda CR-Z, I have come almost up to date with a Juke Nismo RS.

As I am knocking on a bit, I wanted something with decent power, but not to too close to the ground and is quite civilised - and choices (power and tall) are pretty limited - in my budget at least.

It's got a decent turn of speed, entertaining torque-steer in 1st & 2nd gear, despite the LSD. Ah, and its got a G-Meter!!

Space in the back isn't great (But I don't really need it), but the biggest issue is the tea-cup sized fuel tank (sub 300 range)
