They're a bit of a cult thing...retro styling with modern kit underneath. I've never driven one, but i'm told they drive very well and, like all Nissans, they're ultra-reliable.
Only problem is they're imports, never released in the UK so insuring one could be a pain in the perverbial.

i'll have a think - at least it breaks the mold! i like the AO too...

Wonderful cars, nice to drive and full sunroof for hot weather. However: check for evidence of water leaks into the boot, make sure the turbo is working by expecting a surge of power at 3000 rpm, and make sure of service history.
Although these cars are related to Micras, the engine is turbocharged and was never used in the UK so some parts are rare/expensive.
