Now here's one that you may not have considered for quite some time but which is not altogether unappealing. The Nissan 100NX offers something a little different if you're after a budget used coupe and want manageable bills without the 'froufrou' image of something like a Vauxhall Tigra. Tracking one down isn't going to be easy but these cars were built on Nissan Sunny underpinnings and are therefore tough and reliable. It's not the last word in the style stakes, true, but the shape has worn well and your neighbour won't know what on earth it is.

About the Nissan 100NX

Forever destined to remain an interesting curio, the Nissan 100NX seems to have become a better used car than it ever was when new. It offers a bit of charm for very little money and there are many doing the rounds quite happily that are approaching 200,000 miles. Find one with half that on the clock and you could look forward to a few years of very inexpensive sunshine coupe driving. Just don't expect white-knuckle thrills.
