A four-door-ble
I'd appreciate your advice about purchasing a second-hand 4-door sportscar/grandtourer, in a price range up to £45,000, with good handling and reliability. Would you recommend the Maserati Quattroporto, Audi RS4, or something else?

An Audi RS4 is a fantastic car. The main benefits are that it is both very fast and very safe. You are less likely to get into trouble driving it fast than with another car. But it does, of course, demand to be driven fast. Completely barmy (and uncomfortable) to buy one and drive it slowly. If you want a nice, quick 4-door you can drive quickly or slowly, think BMW 335i manual or auto, or a Jag XF 4.2 V8. Or, if you want to go bananas, get a Mercedes C63AMG with the limited slip diff handling kit, an M3 V8 4-door, or a Lexus IS-F.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
