PEUGEOT'S RCZ coupe is superb - there's no other word for it! It looks marvellous and the performance is even better.
When I drove the 2.0-litre diesel a few months ago I was hugely impressed, but the range-topping 1.6 turbo is electrifying.
A few years ago, a power output of 200bhp from such a small engine was the stuff of dreams.
That's how far we have advanced in the hunt for efficiency, to get better economy and lower emissions.
The idea of a 1.6 sportscar is brilliant straight out of the box, but when it offers such smooth and refined performance, it's a winner.
Acceleration is superb, making any straight piece of road overtaking territory, and handling and road-holding are truly amazing.
The ride is a little lumpy at lower speeds on rougher roads, but I could live with that for the marvellous exhilaration and built-in fun.
The only drawback is that every hair must be in place because so many people stare.
There are two tiny rear seats but the only way they can be used is by an adult sitting sideways with the passenger seat forward for their legs.
