What's the best sports coupe for £30k?
I'm thinking of trading in my Volkswagen Scirocco soon and am considering what to get next. The shortlist is another Scirocco, Toyota GT86, BMW 2 Series coupe, or Audi TT. The budget is £30k or so. Which car/model would you go for?

Not a Scirocco because it's close to end of life. The current TT is vastly improved over the previous one, but still not a precision instrument. The GT86 has wonderful steering and handling, but lacks torque and can need 5th or 4th even on motorway inclines. BMW2 Series coupe good, but the six-cylinder is now way north of £30k.

Understated but handsome styling. engaging driving experience regardless of engine, M240i offers true sports car ability at a relatively affordable price.
Still looks sharp with a fantastic interior. Good to drive and strong engines.
