Makes my ZS 180 feel real slow !!

As some of you will remember, I work as a designer in the car trade (Currently contracted as fuel system design project leader with Nissan)

So I was given a car to test, An Infinity FX50.

Well, Having driven it around for 2 days none stop, day and night, totalling about 31 hours out of 48 at the wheel, all I can say is "WOW".

It flies, and I mean really really flies, and still returned a staggering 28mpg at 75mph. (only 21.7mpg combined, including some serious Raggin' about).

Getting back into my 180 last night seemed like I was getting into some diesel van, how slow did my car feel ????

I loved it.

That's the only problem when driving something new and different, it's hard to adjust to the daily ride.

I get that when I go in the car after my bike. Even though it's a 12 year old Triumph ..... put 100bhp in a motorbike and it goes I assure you. I can't even imagine what the new supersports bikes are like now. They put out around 170bhp and weigh about as much as me !
