So, i've got a tts at present, 38k 2009. Its alright, but not exactly setting my world on fire.

I sort of fancy something with proper 4wd or even rwd. Something that will return 30 mpg on a run as I drive 50 miles to work each day and would have similar or better power and torque than the tt. I find the TT a bit wide on b roads so has to be as large or ideally less wide. 2 seats preferable, 4 if not. Wouldnt mind a v8 or and engine that sounds fantastic, the tt's engine is a typical vw/audi 4 pot and sounds dull. I appreciate i may not be looking at 30 on a run using a v8.. Has to be reliable and comfortable, dont read comfortable to mean it handles like a pudding though..

What are your suggestions?

He says a TT is too wide for the B roads so that rules out a corvette as he wants something that will handle well. The bmws are not v8 nor will do 30mpg even as 6 cylinders.

Id love megan fox who can cook clean make me look good to my mates and be amazing in the sack but sometimes to get what ticks a few of the boxes you have to settle for the girl next door with the squint.....

I had a jdm impreza gt that fits the bill (other than being a 5 seater). 2.0 twinscroll remapped to 300 horses.

Easy 30 on a run; sounded great with a sports exhaust.

I really wonder where this "It's american therefore it must be huge" misconception comes from rolleyes
Audi 2.0T FSI TTS 2d width 1952 mm

Corvette C5 width 1869 mm
Corvette C6 width 1930 mm

as for the Z 3/4 M - he didn't say IT HAS TO BE A V8 and after running a Z3 M for two years and doing many roadtrips in it, I can tell you that it's easily doable 29-30mpg at motorway speeds. I'm assuming Z4 will be even better being newer and probably 6spd
