Two-seater sports car- Should I go for an Audi TT or Mercedes SLK?
I am thinking of buying a nearly new two-seater and have narrowed it down to a Audi TT roadster or a Mercedes SLK 200 or 250. Which do you think is the better car? Is the SLK underpowered and noisy?

The current SLK 200 and particularly the 250CFI are not very sporty. If you want a sportscar in the £25k - £30k bracket get a Toyota GT86 or Subaru BRZ.

Fine handling and enjoyable to drive, sweet-shifting manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, surprisingly practical for a sports car, gets Apple CarPlay which you don’t with the Toyota GT86.
