A nearly new BMW 3 series, like an 320i or 320d, because of the following;
Very Reliable
Economical
Fast
Superb to drive
Can be hefty to insure though, so check that first.
Had mine since just over a year from new, and it has >140k miles on it and still runs superbly. I have driven many cars and NONE have ever done these miles and havent tired, trim fallen off and rattles appear. Not with my beemer, i am a convert.
In a performance/economy balance, they are unbeatable for the class. Cant see myself with anything else.

if a new car then i would buy german as bmw, mercedes and vw have the lowest depreciation rates about. i.e. your car will be worth more than other markes if you want to sell it in a few years.
personally i recommend buying a 2 year old car as it will have dropped a lot of price, still be under warranty, and will be a good car for 3 to 4 years still. up to you really.
but for me the temptation to buy a jaguar would be overwhelming
would just need a second mortgage for the fuel / service and insurance costs

20 G's can buy you a Mercedes e270 cdi avantgarde. They are absoloutely superb machines. Good economy/performance plus interior quality and it comes with all luxuries like satnav, parking sensors, leather, ac, cd player, auto box etc.
However, for similar money you can pick up an s320 cdi, which is a superior car to most on the road except obviously the new s class.

The RenaultSport Clio 182 Cup, then I'd have to spend the rest on a year's insurance at my age.

Something cheap and reliable, for maybe £2500, then blow the rest on beer, women and a new Suzuki GSX-R1000.
