Bill for me when I was looking at new cars the choices were Audi A3/S3, GTI or BMW 3 series. I just don't like cars such as the Focus, VXR, and Renault which are far too boy racer in their looks - maybe because I'm in my mid 30's but they don't appeal to me.

Probably Audi A5 for me, possibly go down to the top A1/S1. Something that isn't going to plummet in value would be something to consider.

A5 is a very good shout. Lovely looking car!

I'd probably go for an Audi S3 or wait for the R.

Any A3 would have to be 3 door, I can't believe how adding 2 doors can turn that car from a conservatively styled car with a sporty silhouette to an old mans estate car, somehow Audi managed it.

Only other car look at is an A3 S Line Quattro or preferably still an S3 - Cars in this range are the size of car simply like best and 100% would not go smaller or larger which limits the choice - Hate the interiors of Ford and Vauxhall with the latter that had for a year unfortunately once! having the interior feel of a Amstrad Power Tower with a sport button (that really did make no difference) not looking out of place on a toy from a pound shop! - Others mentioned too are meh! and yes some there might be deemed to be more 'fun' at a critical level or are a 0. second quicker but I look at overall package and how I drive in day to day and the interior comfort and quality too as it does very much add to overall feeling.

Obviously Mercedes and BMW do make quality cars but I have seen and been out in both and work with many who own and they simply leave me personally cold on thought of ever owning.

I was Audi all the way in fact but always loved the GTI and hence stepped over but if no GTI/GTD it would have to be an Audi A3/S3

M-lite... No brainer for me. Other than that I would be hard pushed to choose another "Hot" hatch as they are far too "lairy" for my liking. Maybe 10 years ago I would have jumped at the chance to own a Megane Cup or VXR, but my tastes have changed & I prefer the discrete look these days....

The only car I was seriously considering was a Skoda 'Yeti'... No seriously.. I had it down as an option when I started to look for a Golf replacement.
