The Skoda I did like the look of. They had some stands around the TdF stuff in London, and I eventually did go to a dealer to have a look. But I didn't test drive it. I ruled it out on a similar basis to the VWs... whilst the Skoda is much better value, it still targets families so heavily that it comes through in the design choices.
We even considered things like the Mazda MX-5 for the 3-door small car thing... but then that misses the target too. We want to be able to transport bikes, better economy, etc.
The Mini was just the right sweet spot for us, even though it was actually the very last car we considered.

@velocio didn't fancy looking at a skoda fabia vrs or something like that? Had a peek at the new MK3 Octavia VRS the other day. Looks lovely and reviews are pretty good too. I'm thinking I'll keep my MK1 VRS going for as long as I can then look for a 2nd hand MK3 VRS, if I can justify it to myself...
