VDub cancel the GTI (hypothetically)!!!!

Ah, I should have added the A3 as an option.  Somehow it escaped my mind at the time but seems like its the popular choice!  I'm surprised the ST is so unpopular, just goes to show that while Ford, VW and others are 'competing' in theory, those who buy these hot hatches are really looking for different things!

Bit daft not to have any Audi options on there!
I was tossing up between another TT, A5 or GTi for this order so it would be one of the Audis.

If it had been a few years back and the older st I would have said that as an option but I dont like the looks of the new one at all.
The Alfa giulietta cloverleaf would be my second choice behind the S3

The old 5 pot Focus ST was a "Blast" when first launched....especially with the Superchips Bluefin re-map. Great value as well, as the ST1 was only around £18K at the time.

How they've managed to 'cock' up the styling with the new one I do not know. The biggest selling point of the old ST was its charismatic 2.5litre 5 cylinder engine! Unfortunately they've reverted back to a 4 cylinder Eco-boost in the new one which isn't nearly half as exciting.

Would have been new s3 but not the 5 door which looks like an estate car!!

Another one to throw into the mix is the new Merc A class. Doesn't get a great write up but in that south sea blue colour it looks bloody good!

That's what I was going to go for before the GTI tempted me! A Class looks a bit different than anything else on the road, and that colour is awesome! Probably drives like a pig though!
