There must be some good diesel hatchbacks in a similar price range? Or is that something you're not interested in @hoops
A3 with the 2.0TDI Quattro engine would be nice...

Want 3dr hatchback, (more space than scirocco though), petrol engine, fast, fun. Dont want it to look to shouty. Low key is best.
I have 177ps TDi scirocco at the mo, and am bored of diesel, and not being able to fit anything in through the tiny bootlid (and horrible stiff ride).
Dealer im going to also has RS3 and S3 in stock, so will have a go in them too. RS3 is pricey though, and fuel costs would be a punch in the guts. Will still take it out for a spin for LOLS though. I think they are both a bit too shouty for me though.

I had an 2008/9 A3 sportback with the 1.4 tsi in it, great, really enjoyed having it and pretty much the only useful petrol version for day to day use over any of the diesels. The 2.0tsi is obviously quicker but around town/low speed torque surge I would say they are damn similar and economy/company car tax band etc are all much more favourable.
