• No beef, I like them. But they're too small for what I'm looking for - basically same size as the Fabia we already have and I can't have a grown up or even a child in the seat behind me. All in all it's been a great car for the past 4 years, and still only has 34k on it. Just not very practical for the type of driving we do most.

    I like the Focus's but honestly the inside of them is an absolute shit show (unless you get the new one- which is out of budget). Considering you spend more time looking at the inside of a car than the outside... and 10k is a lot of money, I'd like to own something I actually like.

  • My mate, who buys and sells cars, is currently driving a Seat Altea (I think it’s the Altea) the FR. Its like a small people carrier and he rates it highly. Good space in it and some vroom too. He says it is cheap to run too but I have no actual figures. Maybe worth a look.

  • Those things have some cheap tuning package from ABT tuning that really ups the power:

  • Like this?

    Personally I'm dubious any of these VAG "Golf SUVs" have any advantage over whatever regular hatch they're based on.

    @dan - I know you see a Golf as the boring choice, but they are good, with a load of engine choices. Have you considered just leasing something fun until you're expecting. For eg you could just go for an m140i without worry about the depreciation. Obvs your insurance would be killer.

    A Leon Cupra is another "not a Golf" option. Mate has one and loves it.
