Four-seater Coupé?

My neighbour is keen to change her Peugeot 206CC for something a little bigger that will seat four. She's interested in the Mazda MX-8 but concerned by possible reliability issues of the engine past 60,000 miles.
I'd suggested the Toyota Celica as a possibility but what else is out there?
Looking to buy nearly new with a budget (including trade-in) of around £15k.
Can I help?

    Thanks - good few there. I hadn't thought of the Alfa GT at all; they're nice now. I think the requirement is for a coupé though ;)

    The 307 comes in a 4 seat coupe now. Not seen one yet though.

    Just bought the Alfa GT which is a stunning COUPE. Comfortably seats 4 adults, has a big boot and the JTD enginee is one of the best diesels on the market.

    Amazingly the GT is the slowest depreciating car on the market at the mo less than BMW or Merc coupes.

    I've owned an RX8 which was quick but not very practical....the rear seats are tiny and the boot very limited.

    GT all the way - viewed as one of the most beautifull cars in the world.
