Might need more info - do you need rear seats, a big boot, is RWD an option, petrol or diesel (although diesel writes off the PH tag for most), any brands you hate, etc?

Two seat:

You can get a Cayman for that (just) or a very tidy 370Z

Four seat:

BMW 330i with all the toys or a 335i with slightly less.

An estate:

BMW 335d or 335i Touring

An SUV:

LR Disco and £5k spare for repairs.

Nice car, however seriously if you had 20k to splash would you really buy an Audi a3.

My money would go on a z4m/ cayman and have change or go for a 20k slk55amg (folding hardtop, so just qualifies!)

S2 Exige

Wild cards :
E60 M5
DB7

If i could only have 1 car and needed it as a daily driver then yep, 4wd a must imo

if it was a weekend toy, V10 M5 for 20k smile
