Right, been mullering about this long enough and I think it's about time to ask for the ever-so-wise opinion of the people from the internets.

First, a background. My current ride.

A 59 plate black Audi TTS with roughly 25k on the clock. FASH, recently had an oil service and spent 800 quid on set of brand new Conti SP2s. Superguard paint protection and interior protection and also FISCONN Bluetooth all done at Audi. This is certainly a good looking car and feels pretty good to drive too.

However, deep inside me I crave something more exciting. Choices are hard as I would need to get something worth almost the same as my TTS now (circa 19-20k...9k depreciation in 6 months yaaaaay!) but also looks as good if not better...

So if you are me, what would you choose and why? Pictures do help!

Wait it out a little longer and go for either an E90 M3 or a 996 911 turbo.

Its what i plan on doing!

How about a TVR? You could have your pick of the range I would suspect. Late Cerbera, T350, Tuscan... The world is your oyster.

Had a GT4 before insane car but annoying problem with the rear axles :P

Thinking of the E90 M3 too but can't seem to find one in the right spec! TVR sounds very tempting but I am a wuss and prefer something more manageable (and hopefully AWD...)

Porsche 993 Carrera 4..you won't find depreciation a problem on this but will need to up your running-costs budget slightly

Always have a soft spot for Exige I really like the look but to be honest at my age I would also prefer some creature comforts biggrin Also not digging the 1.8 engine much...

993...hmmm that's a new one. I am looking at a few 996/early 997 Carrera 4S but I can't shake the image that Porker drivers are utter.... unsavoury characters biggrin
