AMT - it's an interesting list but there are downsides to go with all the upsides....depends what compromises you are prepared to live with.
If they were all fruit isn't it a bit like comparing a banana with an apple.
I would have one because I think it would be a great road car that you could drive at a good percentage of it's capacity with plenty of feel and feedback, without being intimidating, in the same way that an Alfasud sprint was (albeit that was FWD).
In which case you are just going to have to do your best by making a record of everything you can about who said what and when in as much detail as you can and hitting Nissan UK with whatever you got. The more factual detail you can provide the more credible your testimony will be.....they will have a good idea whether people are likely to have said these things or not. If it was me I would want to get something in writing to Nissan UKs complaints department asap. If you know a friendly solicitor you could show a cc. to them on the letter (provided they know about it of course!).
Yes... the same thought did occur to me when I first heard about it and Phil was sorting out the travel arrangements and accommodation for the students!
Encouraging about the ZZ3s. I have a set on some wheels but haven't used them yet as I still have the winter wheels and tyres on. Have always been a big fan of Avons for their predictability and "feel" despite normally high wear rates. However, in fairness I don't have any observations of my own yet. A lot of people rate the Falkens when on a budget.
