Have you considered a 406 coupe or maybe a 206 gti? Out of what you've suggested I would say the RCZ has the most draw, but ive never driven one so am only commenting on the looks. My mum had a TT that I drove a lot, it was a snorefest taht sounded like it was farting when it changed gears. However, you know me, I would never say no to the R26, or an RS250. Ive had the RS for 3 years now, its not put a foot wrong in that time So some left field choices: Fiat Alfa Clio SEARCH OVER....

Subtle hint Bob. But the man asked for research M'lord If I plump for a TT I'll be picking your brain about specs etc. as I know you've done the research. The Audi's are a minefield. There are so many options that could easily add several thousand to the original sale price. Also from year to year certain options moved into different models (Sport / S-line & Black). It is nice to be aware of what was available and what spec came with what options in which year. Having driven several TT's the only ones that won me over were the 3.2 (Sounds great) and the TTS. I am fairly sure the TTRS would too (5 Cylinder Turbo ) but I can't afford one of those just yet.
Gone Audi mad!

Thanks for the 206 and 406 reminders In their own way, they were good cars. And like my wife's current Pug both were faultless. Can't believe you've had the same car for 3 years! I'm not keen on the 500 or the Mito but the Clio does appeal. I drove the RCZ the other night. It was the 156bhp version and it didn't really give me that buzz. It looked gorgeous and being the GT spec it has plenty of goodies. I'm going to drive a 200bhp version in the new year. BTW the GT looks fab. Unfortunately they're a bit too long in the tooth now.

They do drive rather well. The magnetic ride offers the driver normal or sport suspension at the touch of a button and you really notice the difference, it even lowers the car! The car has tons of grip and it is quick too. It seemed quicker than the V6 TT's I've driven but sadly lacked the noise I really did like the TTS

Have to say those RCZ's look good especially in the right colour combo with dark wheels. Yes they probably were after TT buyers but the rear double bubble screen looks good to me. For the money those Laguna Coupes have turned my head a couple of times as well............ Not sure I could actually go the whole hog and buy one but a good left-field.........

Which one makes you feel good when in it? Forget about all the other stuff! Or, maybe none of them do ... keep looking in this case

Which one makes you feel good when in it? Forget about all the other stuff! Or, maybe none of them do ... keep looking in this case The Subaru BRZ is a lovely place to be. Sub 4000rpm it pootles around town like an everyday saloon. Press the fun peddle and it's fantastic! Rear wheel drive too. Fiesta ST-2 are well equipped, super cars to drive, quick, new ones very affordable, but a little dull to look at..... RCZ with the 200bhp engine ticks nearly every box. DS3 Dsport with the 155bhp has so much kit on it. Nice to drive and fairly quick. Because I can afford a new one of these, the colour combos can make it a bit different. I won't mention the TT, VXR, A1 or Clio Renaultsport....

It's a tough decision. Out of the above, I'd probably go for the RCZ, I think that they have a cool look. Nicer than the TT IMO

I was referring to the chimp in the paradox, not you as a person!
Do it, if you want one get on with it. I did with the jag and don't regret it 1 bit.

That Subaru is sweet. My new steed regularly parks next to a blue one in the works car park, just this morning as a matter of fact.
