What car for £50k budget

[Chesterfield]

Heres an interesting one, hopefully will get some good petrol headed chat going.

 

Lets say you have a budget of up to £50k. What car would you get?

 

 

Restrictions / desireables are as follows:

 

Not too old, but dependant on model/mileage can be 3+ years old. Four seats preferably, and perhaps four door too, though four setas with easy access for older folk (parents) via two doors is fine

You dont have to spend all the budget, but you can only buy one car...

 

What would you have and why?...

911 is no good for adults in the back at all.

Jag XFR, RS4, M5. All the usual suspects really.................

It doesnt necessarily have to be "sporty", I'd lean more to the luxury side rather than sporty myself. Been having the same discussion in the office, and there just doesnt seem to be a great deal of choice in that area or at least it feels that way.

I would buy a newer Zed and Pay for the old folks to go by Taxi..sorted. and no bloody whinging about how fast you go

[Wasso]

If I wanted the option of a speed and luxury, I'd go for this nice example on Autotrader.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned a GT-R

 

But looking at Evo's " The Knowledge", and given Mum & Dad might not want to wear brown trousers each time they go for a ride, the Mazza Q at least stands out in terms of style from the endless M5's, Mercs and Audis you see pounding around.

[Wasso]

The GTR doesn't have 4 doors, although it does have 4 seats it wouldn't be the most comfortable and luxurious for the older generation? Especially if you're trying to hit some decent lateral G's!!
