What would your next car be after the Polo GTI?

Nissan Juke-R: available to order - BBC Top Gear Australia

(Although, unless it was REALLY good value, it would be hard for me to get my head around the looks. Not bad in matte Black though..)

It says in the article that it has a dual clutch and that article is from May 2012 btw.

Yeah, I realise that. But that car is not likely to be within reach anyway.

The Nismo RS is less over the top, but this article - more recent, I might add - isn't so clear regarding DSG.

Ha, far from a dual clutch! It's a CVT!!

The standard Juke is a CVT, but the Nismo RS, too? Surely not...

The nismo adds a body kit, handling upgrades and some nice interior bits but other than that the drivetrain is the same. The juke with the GTR drivetrain however...

Ah...

Agreed about the Juke GT-R! But it wouldn't come cheap...

So far 6 months in circulation in Europe / Asia (Bar Australia) and still fairing well...best bet is to wait til the 3rd quarter next year to see real results of how the gearbox fairs. Which is perfect for me!

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

Looks like a cracker of a car to me, inside and out. Tho I admit after getting used to an auto I don't know if I could go back to manual (yes I'm lazy I admit it

). A lot nicer looking than the Clio in my personal opinion...

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