Volkswagen Scirocco, from $47,490

The Scirocco is the hottest new coupe on the road, even if it has arrived very late in Australia because of fears it would steal sales from Volkswagen's Golf GTi. It's a Golf under the skin but gets lots of go-faster gear including a 188 kiloWatt engine to ensure it can deliver on the styling promises.

Gover says: The good looking coupe has only just arrived in Australia and rivals the Evoque for style, but perhaps the Euro-focussed suspension will be too extreme. It also has to provide worthwhile gains over the GTi.

Model tested: Scirocco R automatic - $53,590
