Im looking for a 4 seater coupe but cant really think of many.
i want between 2 and 2.5 liter and under 1500 quid. I can only think of the BMW 3 SERIES and the VAUXHALL CALIBRA. Need help what else is there?


Thanks in advance.

Flanders.

Missed the >2litre bit, ignore the Puma, although from the suggestions so far it's probably one of the better picks.

Technically neither are coupes!
So we could add Hyundai SCoupe (or whatever it was called) Puma, Tigra (though these have too little an engine)

Decent boot, four seats. this isn't a turbo so won't be too horrendous to insure (not quite as quick either). Plus the benefit of one of the best owners clubs I've come across.

How do you figure they're not Coupes? confused

Why the stipulation on engine size? Engine outputs vary massively in specific output (bhp/litre), and of course the acceleration of a car is as much about its weight as its power (F = ma). The correlation between engine size and performance is therefore very poor. Personally, I'd ignore engine size and go on handling and performance.

I will probably be proved (proven) wrong, but I'd class them as hatchbacks?

The TomCat turbo is a good shout .... decent ones well within budget. Tidy 1.8 VVCs (NASPs) too.

When I got mine (turbo), I had not checked the seating fully assuming it was a two seat occasional four... I was surprised to find the rear seating was more spacious than I assumed. Carried four adults in reasonable comfort. Had I known that I'd have got one sooner.... Only thing I did not like about the car was two door and smaller boot than I needed although good for a coupe.

Isn't the Puma a hatch though?

Come on guys. The aforementioned are all well and good if you want to look like you run an 80's theme pub. What you need is one of these....

Like a Golf? Surely the design of the boot opening doesn't define a coupe or not? On that basis the DB9's a saloon, no?
