Coupes Cars Best Buys

The Audi TT is as good to drive as it is to own, the VW Scirocco offers a similar package for less and the Jaguar XK is a sporty grand tourer

Audi TT
Price: L24,070-L45,840
Target Price: L22,359-L45,840
MPG: 31.4-53.3
CO2: 139-209g/km
For: The TT is as good to drive as it is to look at and it’s beautifully built. The cheaper models are surprisingly affordable to own.
Against: It’s almost a default choice, so you won’t be alone in having one. The models higher up the range aren’t great value for money.

Audi TT

Volkswagen Scirocco
Price: L19,845-L29,745
Target Price: L18,534-L28,761
MPG: 34.9-62.8
CO2: 118-189g/km
For: The Scirocco has sharp styling and drives sweetly, with grippy handling, pecise steering and fine engines. Rear space is okay and the prices are attractive.
Against: The few drawbacks you’ll notice are limited to the cramped headroom in the rear and the dinky-sized boot.

Volkswagen Scirocco

Jaguar XK
Price: L65,000-L97,000
Target Price: L59,100-L97,000
MPG: 23.0-25.2
CO2: 264-292g/km
For: The Jaguar XK has GT refinement, sports-car sharpness and great looks. It’s roomy in the front and the engines sound fabulous.
Against: It’s expensive to buy and run, and the rear seats are best seen as just extra luggage space, so it’s effectively a two-seater.
