I want to buy myself a new car - sporty looks, two plus two seats (proper seats), with performance...!

Lotus Evora and Audio TT seats aren't practical. So far I've test driven the Lexus RCF and the Jaguar HKR. Both fabulous but do I really need a V8 engine and to spend £60-70,000....? I know I'll have to test drive quite a few but don't want to be hassled by salesmen constantly phoning me up...

Intelligent suggestions would be appreciated. What car would you buy and why...?

I saw a second hand Maserati, eight years old for £39 grand - oh it did look nice... but new they are £90,000. Got the showroom on my list. What are they like for services/repairs?

Haha thanks for the links - drooling already...! First choice looks fabulous - others are only 2 seaters..... There's hope for me yet then.

Well Jimboka, I don't have to ask because I can afford it - but I'm a bit more careful with my money and don't like the thought of burning £50 notes. I don't want to buy something where the engine burns out after 30,000 miles or they've fitted the wrong pistons... So I was hoping that people with more experience than me at choosing/buying/driving different vehicles would give me really good advise. Which is what I'm getting smile

Well the only thing I found wrong with the Jag was the price...!
