Which sports coupe is best?

I am looking to buy a usedcar. At the moment I am stuck between the BMW Z4, Toyota GT86 and Audi TT. All will be 2013-2011 plates, I'm a young man and I don't travel long distances particularly. Any advice or your personal preference would be good.

Different animals. Single engine choice with the GT86 and manual or torque converter automatic transmissions. Fabulous rear drive handling, huge fun to drive, but lacks torque and needs to be revved. Z4 is an electric folding hardtop with a big range of engines from 2.0 litre four to turbocharged straight six and manual or torque converter autos. Huge range of 2nd generation TTs, coupe or ragtop roadster, varying from 2.0 litre four to the fantastic 340PS 2.5 5-cylinder turbo in the TTRS. DSG auto transmissions best avoided.
