Which would you rather have?

[Ess_Three]

Off the top of my head.........

Budget - 20K (ish)
Economy - Not bothered
Space - Enough for me and the missus, but would prefer at least 4 seats.
Engine - Want at least a 5 cylinder to give a better engine sound
Power - Ideally no less than the RS

No astra VXR, porsches, not too fussed on BMs, thats all I can think of atm.

Fire away.......

Ahh...right. So it's the image you want, rather than a selfish, drivers car?
I see...

The Audi will suit you fine I think.
I suggest one in white, with the 20" wheels.

Cheers Adam that looks ideal  

Is a cayman interesting? I dont like them at all!

Depends if you want something to look like a wan*ers chariot, or something sublime to drive?
If it's the latter, you are missing out by not driving one.

It runs rings round the other two.

Isnt a cayman a poor mans 911? I just dont think living in a 1st floor flat with a porsche sat on the drive is a good look lol!

right then, stretching your budget a tad, but a cash off should get it,

ALL the engine noise you will EVER need

According to blinkered people who have never driven one, yes.
But they are fools.
The Cayman is brilliant.

I had a new 911 sitting on the driveway in my ground floor flat (and worth more than the flat was). What's the issue?
