Having had a TVR many years ago, I like the sound of the Nissan 350Z/370Z driving experience, but I¹m not keen on the butch styling ­ and I might regret having only 2 seats. I can¹t afford an M3 or an RS4. Are there any other, more affordable, suggestions for a practical car that is also a rewarding physical drive? (I tried a 330i and it was like driving a simulator.)

There isn't anything else this side of a Corvette. The 350/370Z is unique. Z4s and SLKs are nothing like them. The other way to go is a Porsche Boxster S or Audi TTRS.
