Talking Automatic Coupe ?

Ok my mother is after another coupe, must be automatic though, preferable Jap or German, to replace her x reg Honda Prelude, Up to approx 25K budget.
(Ok she also want economical as well but personally think that’s a bit unrealistic for a automatic)

But I’m struggling to think of many
BMW 3 series coupe
Merc C Class sport coupe

Can anyone think of any more / reccomend any?

PS forgot to add no personal / Jap only mports either ?
Cheers
Richard

I suppose it depends whether she needs 4 seats,

Nissan 350 Z
Mazda RX8
Audi TT
Volvo C70 (not Jap or German I know but a quality car), nealry at the end of its run though
2001 Lexus SC, bit ugly but reliable
Merc SLK
Hyundai Coupe

Cheers for the reply but only after automatic coupes, from memory most of the above are manual only !

After automatic coupes only !

Lexus might be worth a look though !

^^ my mate has a 3.2 TT Quattro. its pretty good. the dsg gearbox is fully automatic if you want, or you can use the flappy paddles, or flick the gear lever up & down and use it in semi-auto mode (it will always change up at the red line and down before stalling even in manual mode).

that would be my recommendation, plus she can get anywhere from a slow(ish) 1.8T to the 3.2 litre and she can have it with or without 4wd, so she can have it as a cheapish and slow but with the great (if a bit girly) looks, or she can have a beast that looks the same
