There may be flashier coupés around, but you'll pay many thousands more for them, and few blend the TT's iconic design, interior solidity and aesthetic cohesiveness, or involving driving characteristics in a more stunningly effective package.

This 2.0-litre diesel version combines impressive torque and enjoyable flexibility with the terrific grip offered by Audi's Quattro 4wd system.

Not only that, you'll enjoy low fuel bills thanks to an economy average that tops 53mpg.

Use your scrappage allowance and haggle hard with your dealer and you could own a diesel TT for around £24,000. Quality and driveability have seldom looked so affordable − or stylish.

If the Audi TT is one of the most stylish coupés, then the 3 Series Coupé is one of the best to drive.

With rear-wheel drive, there's a beautiful balance of traction and poise, and the 320d's superb 175bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel pulls effortlessly in almost any gear.

BMW's Efficient Dynamics features lift the car to a whisker short of 59mpg, keeping your fuel bills − and CO2 emissions − ultra-low for the class.
