TT RS vs. Z4 35is vs. ???

I'm in the process of changing jobs and that means I have to had my current car back (RX 450h) choose another company car, some thing I find very hard as there is a lot of choice in my price bracket.

As I'm going to be working out of the same office for the duration of the lease of the new car and that office is a rather nice 40 mile cross country drive along some fun A & B roads I want something a little more agile than my current car. As its a company car I'm stuck with what is on the list so no Lotus or Porsche so my obvious two choices for such a drive disappear. I'm also stuck with certain cars costing loads more on a lease were as on personal finance they might be much closer, for example a base Jag XK costs a net £400 a month more than the Z4.

Currently I'm looking at the TT RS and the Z4 35is, both offer enough economy so I don't get bankrupted by the difference with my mileage rate to fuel put in the vehicle. Anything else I should be considering?

I'd stump up the extra £400 and get the XK but I don't like the other 2 choices. The 370's a good shout.

out of a Z4 and a TT, Then it isnt really a choice (Z4 everytime) the audi started life as a fwd golf and i couldnt look past that. But a 370 is a good shout, higher on co2 though.

Thats a nice thread, kinda underlines what I like about the TT RS, that engine.

I hadn't considered the 370z, seems a bit slower than the TT or the Z4 on paper, how does it compare on the road?
