What would your next car be after the Polo GTI?

My only problem is I keep on remembering "It's a Ford" >.<

I know what you mean, I had an XR5 and these were built in Germany. It did have more of a Euro feel than local Ford offerings and while it wasn't the last word in interior aesthetics or hot hatch handling at the limit it was a decent bit of kit, an enjoyable drive, with a great engine note and was trouble free throughout my two year ownership.I think the new Focus ST would be at least worth a test drive.

I feel the Fords interiors are too "busy" I don't need a full keypad of numbers on my dash. But would be trouble free and a fun hot hatch. My first car was a Laser Tx3 turbo, loved that little thing!

Oh most definitely I will be testing it, so far out of all the hot hatches tested the ST is still ahead of the Golf GTI, Megane RS265 Cup and Skoda Octavia rs.

So far after testing various cars minus the Clio RS, new 2014 Skoda Octavia RS and the Ford Focus ST this is my list:

My top 5 in no particular order:

1. Alfa Romeo Giullietta QV
2. Megane RS 265 Trophee (2014 facelift).
3. Ford Focus ST (not tested)
4. Peugeot 208GTI
5. Renault Clio RS (not tested)

The problem about our country is we have so much choice, its disgusting in a good / bad way haha.

I work at a car dealership which has Alfa as one of our brands so I see a lot of them I do like the Giulietta, sadly they know I'm not looking for a car so won't allow me to test drive!

What's your opinion of the 208? A fine looking machine...

What do you guys think of the Ford Focus ST? Rumor is they're built in Germany and handle pretty well!

A shame it's Manual only...

If the wife can't drive it, I can't consider it...

Its a nice car, but they really fell short in the looks department on the front end...it looks flat / horrible.

The drive of the car, faultless, the kit in and outside is immense!

Booked in with the rs200 for a steer when it gets here...

I'd lean towards the new A3 quattro for that price, though servicing costs of an audi look like a worry.

Still considering a new Polo. GTI. I see it now comes with Bluetooth standard. Appears to be that touch adapter thingy.

Ridiculous, when one considers that they could just add a module to rcd-510.

Other than aesthetics, though, what are the pros and cons of this system?
