Right - I'm willing to spend up to £20k (obviously don't mind spending less!) on acar with the following requirements:

1) Will be doing 15k miles a year so needs to be relatively reliable
2) At least 25 mpg
3) Looks good / expensive - so no Hyundai Coupes or similar
4) Performance - must be at least 8 seconds 0 - 60.

I'm very indecisive and can't seem to find anything that screams 'buy me'. Liking the look of Z4 Coupes at the moment though.

Any suggestions would be great, cheers.

That would be my option, a lot of car for the money especially with the shit market at the moment. One with the gt pack on, bose system in etc.

350z seems like a good shout. What does the GT pack give you? Second hand market seems to be flooded by imports. E46 M3 I would love but it fuel economy looks horrendous.

The New M3 is more economical than a Prius. FACT.

Seriously though if you are not giving it death everywhere then you should see 25mpg

Imports generally have square rear number plate recess; its a manual GT you want really.

"Got 35MPG on the way home from picking it up and that was mixed; think its down to 30 now tho as sit in traffic 5miles a day to and from work"

taken from Novagte2 thread he posted otherday, obviously not gospel but shows. Parkers says 24mpg.

GT Pack models best part is rays alloys you get that look loads better than standard ones, other stuff is according to the web,
cruise control, heated and powered leather seats, and a 240-watt premium Bose six-CD audio system — tailored specifically for the 350Z — with a 10-inch woofer mounted right behind the driver.
