My friend is looking to purchase a new car soon and cannot make up his mind as to what he wants.

He doesn't have many requirements:

Budget of £3k.
Fast.
Insurable. (he's early twenties, 4 year NCB)
Convertible preferred but not mandatory.

Practicality and fuel economy have very little relevance.

Any ideas?

Audi TT

I'm sure there are others, but the OP hasn't helped by not suggesting anything him self for us to at least comment on.

How about a 3.0 Z3 with a little haggle?

It seems to fit the criteria perfect. a 2.8 can be had for a little less and a little bit more will get him in a Z4 2.2/2.5

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Hadn't thought of the Z3/Z4 route so will suggest these.

I've suggested so many cars which have so far been dismissed I wanted to see what everyone else thought. I won't list every car I've suggested but two contenders currently are either a BMW E46 or Audi TT.

In case anyone was wondering, he bought an Audi TT Coupe.
