Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Ok...

Input needed...

Pondering the purchase of a new motor vehicle for myself in the coming months...

Criteria:

Fun drive, not so much worried about top speed, something snappy though...

Economy, not too hard on juice, preferably around the 2.0l mark (before you start, a 3.8 Porsche is not going to be insurable at my age... So there... not looking at anyone in particular...B ;)

Looks, I want a stunner :)

Not really all that bothered about practicality or comfort (within reason)

I've been thinking of the following

Honda S2000

BMW Z4

Audi TT Tdi

All to be had quite reasonably second hand at the moment due to the state of the car trade... Opionions?? Recommendations??

Have at it... ;)

Forget them all, there can only be one choice.......

Series 2 Elise.

go for a 111R and you're getting a Yamaha designed, Toyota 1.8. It has 189bhp, a second cam system (much like honda's V-Tec system) which means it can rev to 8,500rpm. Simple, easy to use soft-top, easy to drive, amazing performance that you can use 90% of the time and cheap servicing (around £240 for a 9k service).

actually make that 2 choice as you could also go for an exige if you feel a bit more hardcore....

I know what I'd go for !! :-)
