Emira, Porsche, Jag, in that order

A ‘cheap’ sports car, ain’t going to be ‘cheap’. Make sure you go in with your eyes open, and expect the running costs which come with ownership. From the list you’ve got there, I’d say the Lotus would be my personal ‘A’ choice, then the Porsche, then the Jaag. But I wouldn’t have the Jaag, if you paid me to take it personally, because I’m sick and tired of JLR quality issues.

Find another dealer preferably a main one to sell you an Emira hopefully not a reject with 1 key either.

Depending on what you want from the car the Porsche with its storming engine takes some beating tbh. Not quite a GT4 but as a drivers car the GTS is hard to top although quite a few prefer the drop dead gorgeous looks of the Emira which tend to flatter to deceive with all its underlying issues and archaic low revving but reasonable sounding (from the outside) engine.

Not really a fan of these, think 60k is very overpriced for a DCT 4 pot, and there's plenty cheaper used.

Like the thinking, but imagine the running costs could be a little, erm, toppy...?

I really hope that was satire. Aggregate weight of those three elephants is knocking on to seven tons rofl

Financially speaking you won't do better than whatever 911 you can get used for £60k, they way they hold their value is fantastic.

The dealer selling all those Emiras has got them in bulk from Lotus. There’s a thread somewhere - worth reading.

For me, AMG GT, an R would be great, below 60k probably an S. Second choice M2 comp.
