Borrowing much of the rear-wheel-drive components from the excellent Genesis sedan, the new Coupe tries to reincarnate the inexpensive, excellent handling coupe. Think of it as the Nissan 240SX for a new generation. The base 210-hp turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder will be the favourite of tuners, while the 300-hp 3.8-litre V6 plays to a more mature crowd. The styling is sharp, although the cabin is pretty basic compared to the sedan’s. Headroom is tight for tall folks too, especially with the optional moonroof.

Pros

Bargain rear-wheel drive

Cons

Interior could be more dramatic
