R32 and R33 are highly rated drivers cars with plenty of feedaback -according to virtually all road tests.The GTO was poorly thought of.I'm not dissing the GTO because i don't think it was as dull as the ma :ogazines claimed.In fact with that spec it is nigh on impossible for it be called dull! Absolutely, personally I think the R32/33 is over rated to a large degree. Its popularity came from its racing success, something the GTO wasn't designed to do, so never gained the notoriety of the skyline. On the other hand I think the GTO is very underrated. Most people (no dig intended here) tend to regurgitate what they hear and what is written by others about these types of car rather than form their own opinions from their own experiences of driving the cars in question. As I said personally speaking I found the R32 and R33 were both a bit dull in comparison to the GTO and neither had the glorious V6 soundtrack either I had wanted an R32 for years, what is it they say about never meeting your heros.......lol My mate bought a suzuki swift 1600 glx 4wd.I went into road tester mode and told him the magazines said it was a poor handler.He took me for a test drive and flung the car violently and dangerously at full pelt thru a rounadbout.This "poor handling" suzuki omg defied the laws of physics On the r32/33 v gto a more direct rival is the 300zx really

Its a Rover 200.
No mention of the RX8 yet? Too small, I know. And technically a 4dr but more of a coupe than most of the 4dr-derived coupes about.
XJS worth a shout, yes they're tiny inside even for a 2+2 but a bonnet the size of a double bed covering a V12 should qualify them. Though the straight six is the one to have for most.

The 780 is a properly tasty car. I'm surprised they never did a RHD version.

I borrowed my mates 300zx on condition that I sell it for him - I used it regularly and it was quite a monster. J import with twin turbos and a daunting engine bay ..... It was very reliable, quick, but not as quick as it looks.
It also gets my vote for the worst headlights on any car - ever. You have to replace the entire units with something else as they use that odd 'magnifying effect' lense.
