Here's our pick of the best models on sale in every class, but you can find our full overview of new and used coupes by clicking here.

1. Audi TT 2.0 TFSI
Price £24,900Target Price £24,900
New aluminium body and chassis transform the old, leaden-feeling TT into a wonderful thing to drive - and it still looks great.

Solid build quality and strong retained values make it a sound buy, too.

Stick with the TFSI model: without the quattro's V6 engine and four-wheel drive, it's more nimble.

2. BMW 335i SE Price £33,900Target Price £31,511 The 3 Series Coupe is even better to drive than the saloon, and the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine is the icing on the cake. It'll carry four people in comfort across continents, too. What Car? Full Verdict

3. Jaguar XKR Price £70,097 Target Price £70,097 Lightweight aluminium construction and a 420bhp V8 engine combine to offer a scintillating drive in a car that's a thing of beauty. What Car? Full Verdict

Nice, but overpriced
Peugeot 407 2.7 HDI Sport
Price £23,825Target Price £21,760
If you like coupes to be cruisers, not bruisers, the Peugeot 407 is worth considering - as long as you haggle for the £2000 saving that should be available. It's well-equipped, has room for four adults, refined motorway manners and a strong diesel engine.
