No clue. Inspire me!

Last few cars:
Monaro 6lVXR
TT TDI cab
M240i cab
Leon cupra estate
840i GC
GR Yaris

Only 2 months in with the GR and it's an absolute weapon but having come directly from an 8 series I've realised I'm old, look a bit silly in a shoebox, and appreciate some degree of specialness to the cabin as well as pace and dynamics!

Budget around 40k, or more likely, £10k deposit + £400/month

I like the convenience/security of new, or at least, warrantied. Would aim to keep for about 2 years and ideally increase my equity over that term.

I drive about 50 miles return to work, park in a multistorey, route mainly motorway, and.would like the option of using it at weekends including a dog so 2 seaters are less preferable.

So far, considerations have been (all new) , S4 avant, M240i coupe, Mustang 5.0 coupe/cab so very diverse!

I like character, performance and modern creature comforts - decent stereo with streaming etc but want it to feel special. 25mpg mixed minimum. Open to used cars as well as cheaper new PCPs.

What you got for me?!

RS3?

F Type? Someone can look after the dog.

Mustang

Alfa Giulia QF. 5 year warranty from new, Apple Carplay, 35mpg touring economy (according to Autocar). Character and performance by the bucketload.

Thanks so far! RS3 probably a little too dull, Mustang seriously considered (saw a Oxford White GT today which looked epic), f-type would be my choice of 2 seater but too restrictive with the dog (drive a manual 380 S a few years ago which I loved).

Top suggestion so far which I'd almost forgot about is the QF. Would like to have a go in one and definately get the Alfa appeal - had a 159 ti some years ago which was just stunning. Blows my mind that the QF has 500 horses!

New RS3 won't be anywhere near 400 a month.
Looks to be a great car though.

If it was my 40k, I'd be looking for a M2C.
