Peugeot RCZ or VW Scirocco or ...

Priority is running costs hence diesel.

Go for something big and luxury then. Sporty and diesel are opposite ends of the spectrum.

Is electric and sporty also at opposite ends?

Yes. A fast 0-60 time doesn't make a car 'sporty'.
Look at how quickly 'influencers' got tired of posting Model S drag videos and realised they're left with a mediocre business saloon.

Then switch to making youtube videos trying to justify their purchase in other ways

The RS6 is also fast, but it's far from sporty.

Funny how the Sciroco doesn't carry the same reputation

The power of Clarkson.

The only electric that's 'sporty' and anywhere near coupe'ish is the Model 3. I think you'll need to up your budget for one of those.

And quite a long way from 50mpg+

I might be missing something here, but expecting to cover 20k miles in 3 years, but wants a diesel?

Seems pointless.

Running costs extend beyond MPG.

 

[kaptainmarc]

not coupes but what about a golf GTD or Focus ST TDCI

I'm doing near 20k a year quite happily in the focus at the moment.

20k per year in the OP.

 

[paradigm]

20k per year in the OP.

Yeah I see that now, misread on the phone. 20k miles per year makes sense with a diesel.

I'd still look at the TT, if you like the RCZ then I can't see you disliking the TT, and it's a nicer place to sit.

1 series coupe diesel? 120d or 123d.

Never liked the 1 series.

Although not a big fan and not very compact a C-series coupe? In real life will I see 50mpg?

The power of Clarkson.

The one that got sacked from the BBC?

Yea, he became even more rich and famous and the BBC killed their most popular show, gg.

 

[ver01@]

He is the one. Not much power I guess.

 

[Hawk Tuah]

That review I think must have killed TT sales. And it's all so opinionated and negative. I mean - he's even doing his best to criticise a DSG gearbox 'because it's boring'?

And the lap time. 0.2 seconds behind a Lotus Esprit V8, faster than an R32. Hardly pedestrian. And they suggest an RX8 or a Chrysler Crossfire as a better alternative.

 

[Nasher]

At the time rx8s hadn't started blowing up. Apart from that they were better.
