Nexen N fera Sport

Summer
Lowcost
8.3 /10 Recommended

The Nexen N'fera Sport proves you can get decent safety on a budget. It brakes well, handles aquaplaning reasonably, and stays quiet. Don't expect dynamic handling though — it's built for safe, predictable commuting rather than spirited driving.
