Nissan 200SX 1994-ish without a doubt the best car I’ve ever had. Weighing just a tad over 1 tonne, it produced nearly 200bhp. It was quicker than the boy-racer Cosworth Sierras of the time without the macho looks. Ultimate Q-car – looked like a poor-blokes’ Capri until you hit the throttle. Acceleration would push you back into the seat most emphatically. Being rear-drive, the back end would drift out easily but always under perfect control. Did whatever you wanted in a perfectly balanced and comfortable manner – pootling around the city or driving down to Spain for hols. Its only equivalent today is the smaller Mazda MX5 which I’m sure is great fun but could not match the long-range capability. Why have manufacturers stopped making small-medium, lightweight, affordable and simple sports cars?
