And with good reason!

Oh very sporty then

A perfect case for post-natal abortion, by the sounds of it

And let’s not forget tax is peanuts compared to the fuel cost, so drive whatever and stuff it

Which guy?? Pierre Le Wishful-Thinking?

They can't even sell the Renault-favoured A110 in enough quantity to make it sustainable, so I doubt anyone from Renault said that at all. Besides, why would they say it's definitely not coming and then back track? Far better to say they're looking at it and keep interest up rather than have a potential buyer give up and buy another car.

Not sure that any car has feet. Or fish.

Everyone, if they pay by DD.

I couldn’t buy a diesel as a fun car. I’d rather walk.

An E46 is a great car, no doubt, but the E92 is even better. Gives you that incredible V8 as well, the likes of which we'll never see again.

Personally I think there's better options out there. Discs I usually go for the cheapest I can get my hands on and treat them as a consumable, as I've found you get way better improvements from spending the big bucks on the pads. This is why I'm running ECP cheapy discs and Carbon Lorraine CL5+ pads on the MX5, and couldn't ask for anything more from them even after extensive track work. BD discs do look smart, mind. Had them on an MR2 mk3 back in the day.

As good as they might be, I couldn’t buy one for the money people are asking. Not for FWD. I mean, we’re hitting the down curve of petrol cars and there’s better ways to enjoy the end of an era than in something so relatively straightforward IMHO.

If that interests you, there’s a whole world of AMG V8 barges out there that would be a decent ownership prospect.

Not for £17k any more sadly

Maser 4200 Golf R (but they’re common as muck, I know) S2000 BRZ86 (I want one of these next) Any good?

After my VXR I went for something that was the polar opposite, so I wouldn’t spend all my time comparing it and wishing I hadn’t swapped. That car was the 350Z, so it was FR not MR, NA not turbo, heavy not light etc. Not sure if that helps you or not, I’ll try and think of some options

You’re dead to me. Soz.

458 Challenge by the looks of it.

You used a waterless wash on the exterior paint. I am so disappoint it hurts. My brother, it feels like you’ve stolen one of my children. But worse.

It’s not road tax. Hasn’t been for donkeys years.

Actually, I will assume that Ms Daisy has no interest in one of these at all: considering the vast majority of people who actually buy these kinds of cars aren’t going to buy one either, it’s safe to assume that the likelihood of Ms Daisy’s suddenly deciding to get one cos it has electric steering is tiny. And I’m not talking about going non-PAS, there was nothing wrong with the steering in the 370 and I’ve yet to meet an EPAS rack that bettered the hydraulic generation. Hardly likely that this is going to set the world on fire in that regard. We’re going off track here though, my original point was the joke of Nissan saying that this is an upgrade, which it isn’t.

£75, or one tank of fuel honestly, why people worry about road taxes on these kind of cars is beyond me.

You don’t need different steering modes in any car, get it right the first time and that’s it. I’ve never ever driven any car where the “light steering” option felt anything other than utterly stupid. Not saying that electric steering can’t be good, as it can, but saying it’s an upgrade is a huge stretch.

“Upgraded with electric steering” That’s not an upgrade.

So what did you think of each one?
