Default Which car?

My Z4 automatic loan car has reached the end of its lease, and is being swapped tomorrow. I have the option of a new Z4 (again an Automatic), but I have asked if they have anything manual.

They are investigating what is available, but looking at the web site, the cars in the poll are all manual and are a similar price to, or lower than, the Z4.

Which would you choose - tentatively they have mentioned a TT although I imagine it's the 225 1.8T as I think the 3.2's are all tiptronic?

l'd imagine the Merc would be an auto - I'd go for the Bogster - only because I've not driven one before.

I think the MR2 would be the most fun out of the cars listed.

I may still have this car by MM2 so I want something that will keep up with the pack with my driving.

I have no idea which cars are available, this is just taken from the list on their web site...

with Steven, MR2 for me too - if you get the poxster you will have to leave it at the end of the road when you come visiting

I also quite like the Cooper S for the fun value - but this may wear off quickly
