My brother in law has just turned up at our house this morning to show off his latest toy. It's a 56 plate, 35k mile Nissan 350Z. Sort of electric blue metallic coupe. I've always liked them. He has bought it not as a main car but purely as an indulgence. His everyday transport is a Nissan Pathfinder and a Ducati Something-fastio. He let me drive it "round the block" so to speak to get a feel for it. Lovely engine note, smooth power delivery, leather seats etc. I can see exactly where he's coming from with this wee cracker of a car.
Great handling thing, I instantly fell in love with it. Not sure I'd enjoy its thirst mind but I suppose that's hardly the point. A sort of budget 911 in some ways. No sense in it but lots of fun.
