Here are 30 used TG hero cars we found this week

The Fiat Coupe was an iconic ‘90s two-door, four-seater showboater. Early first-gen models are hard to come by, of course, but this treasure from 1995 could prove a shrewd investment.

This 1996 Berlinetta, imported into the UK in 2015, is as close as it gets to TG's 1994 winner. This particular example features the classic red bodywork and black interior combo. Yes please.

Difficult to find an early example of one of the very best cars ever made, but we discovered a decently kitted E39 BMW 5 Series for less than £3k.

The simplicity of the Elise has always underpinned its sporty appeal. Upgraded without losing the character of the thing, this example is a surprisingly affordable future classic.

This fine example of the first-gen Ford Puma has had one owner, who clearly kept it in tip-top condition, added a genuine Ford bodykit and rarely used it (judging by the low mileage).

Turns out first-gen Focuses aren’t common. Somehow, we found this 1999 example – we've seen much younger cars in worse condition.

The Audi A2 was a game changer in terms of its lightweight structure. Most used models on the market carry mileage to the moon-and-back. While this one isn't an exception, it's a great price, ULEZ-compliant, comes with newly fitted parts and a warranty. Quids in.

Future Multiplas will return in electric guise. This well-known TG guilty pleasure is readily available in Mainland Europe (and for great prices). Here in the UK though, there's less choice. Hence why we've gone for a second-gen car, which - if you have Strong Opinions about the way the Multipla looks - you may thank us for. This 2005 WAV-adapted example has low mileage and is in great nick.

Finding a 2001 Ford Mondeo Mk1 is no mean feat. Fortunately, this one with a mere 73k miles and no reserve is about to be auctioned off. You're welcome.

Amazingly, this 4.4-litre TD6 complies with ULEZ-exemption criteria. A sub £5k price tag and V8 goodness should make you happy.

If you’re in the market for a Ford Focus RS Mk1, good luck. With auctioned examples going for almost £77k, this sub-£45k listing looks like a bargain.

If you can't gazump the current prospective buyer for the 350Z with the GT Pack and only 9k miles, consider this particularly sharp example. (Second glance of the ad verifies that is a shop front, not a giant spoiler.)

In 2005 the Bugatti Veyron was a joint ‘Car of the Year’ winner with, you’ve guessed it, the Toyota Aygo. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t too many Veyrons on the market (read: any) but you can pick up a decent Aygo for a good price – just like this one.

Upon launch, Ian Callum's Jaguar XK looked good, drove well and sounded sublime – it was so easy to love (and crown Car of the Year). Today, it still looks just as good and listings like this £12k one are very tempting indeed.

When it first hit the market, the 2007 R8 delivered head-turning looks and first-rate handling. A five grand discount makes this low-mileage model extremely appealing.

This ULEZ-friendly example is a gadget-laden peach of a choice.

The gorgeous 458 Italia is powered by a multi-award winning, all-time great Ferrari V8. Good reason alone to step into a version of this powerful, well-equipped mid-engined supercar.

The DS3 paved the way for DS to become a break-out brand, and this Alpine white low-mileage listing of the lovely hot hatch is specced well. What's more, road tax is only £20.

When it comes to the new car market £15k doesn't get you much these days (outside a Dacia, of course). But an Evoque with serious levels of kit and a 2.0 turbo direct-injection petrol engine is worth sticking on the short list any day of the week. Helps that it's ULEZ-friendly too.

Toyota's GT86 defied convention. It was low-priced, average-looking and small-engined. But with those skinny Prius wheels and Subaru boxer engine, it became a classic. Here's a 2012 example.

The raucous little Fiesta ST and its 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine offers the most supercar fun you can have without a supercar (or a wallet-draining supercar price tag).

At a time when electrified models were peculiar variations on a 'glorified golf cart' theme, there was nothing golf-carty about BMW's hybrid pioneer. The i8's no longer in production, so it's now a modern classic. Buy a gold-wrapped example like this and consider yourself a pioneer by association.

The Focus RS proves that hitting the world of parenthood does not mean the end to all things petrolhead. Here's a 2016 version with only 20k miles on the clock and bags of optional extras.

The Italian M3 delivered beauty, excitement and touring-level comfort. And a few... niggles. Still, embrace the Alfa experience with this well-priced example costing less than £35k.

Here's a competitively priced, heavily kitted Civic Type R with only 21k miles on the clock and the manufacturer's 12-month 'Honda Guarantee' which is – just like the car itself – a good thing.

Chris Harris rightly pointed out the joy that comes from an overpowered tiny car. So this 2018 Ford Fiesta ST and its near-200bhp should have enough zest to melt away the day-to-day strife on the commute home.

First-gen Taycans are a rare thing indeed but this 2020 listing boasts a sub £60k price tag and a new battery, earning it a place on our shortlist.

Now the Defender is no longer produced, the prices of existing Defenders are pretty much locked in or rising. Here's a £62k pre-reg example with only 9k miles.

Some sports tuning and turbocharging take the i20N's 1.6-litre engine from 120bhp (as per the regular i20) to a cheeky 201bhp. Here's a decently specced and priced version.

Last year's COTY from Team TG earned the award for its exceptional talent for being a daily driver and a ton of sporting fun. The only downside was the £10k mark-up. Hitting the used car market for a pre-reg edition can mitigate that by £7k so the savviest of petrolhead commuters can enjoy the best of both worlds.
