I love these cars. I want one. Now.
BMW M4; S1000 RR
I drove the one with the auto box and 4WD. It was lovely tbh. Everything I don't love in a car:
Small turbo engine
Auto box
Heavy (1800kg I read)
Electric steering.
But... I loved it. 22k list price too, which seems more than decent.

1800kg?!
The manual 2wd nismo was lighter than Clio EDC when weighed on a group test

I doubt it's 1800. Range rovers are just shy of 2 tonnes and they are a lot bigger/heavier than a juke. Lol
1430kg according to parkers.

I'd have to dig out the brochure to check but I remember thinking it was heavy.

Evo weighed one and it was less than the Clio 200T. LOL
They're quirky, I can't not like them.

Exactly, very similar to the Ignis in most ways!
I think I've seen one of these and it looked awesome.
Not one issue with it (well someone hit the rear in a car park and dented the bumper but I sorted that with a bit I heat)
Done just under 3k miles avg MPG is about 32. Around town 27 and on a run low 40's.
It's quick enough, and seems to attract Mini Paceman drivers wanting to race which I really don't understand.
Seems well bolted together, it's not developed any creaks or rattles even hammering over speed bumps on a daily basis.
Interior is plush whilst still being practical, my only (minor) dislike inside is the the dash plastics are typically Jap. The High Gloss painted plastics are a bit of a pain in bright sunlight as they can reflect on the windscreen (same as all cars with high gloss interior).
Gearbox is nice (god knows why the RS200T did t have a 6 speed manual) will quite happily sit on cruise at 30mph in 6th.
Sport mode is 'interesting' to get used to, it shifts the power right down the rev range and holds the revs up during gear changes, it's plenty quick enough and handles well enough to hold its own (only things I've pushed against are a Merc C200, 2.0 Z3 and an Audi A5 that seemed to want to check out the Jukes Boot Space).
Get it on a twisty road and whilst it's no Clio
it goes well with gearing to a bit of lift off oversteer. All in all if I was after a 'family' type car that's good for a bit of fun I'd be buying a Nismo.... Certainly would be buying one over the RS200T with same engine, more practical space wise and it's not confused, it's a Crossover with some nice styling and a decent engine rather than a family Hatch trying to be a 'Hot Hatch'.
