It was roomy for me at 5'10" made entirely of spiderlike limbs. If those are your requirements it would be perfect for you, I would test drive one if I were you. I had the 4wd (briefly, as I said) and found it unshakeable. At the far side of 60, something with more character works for me, I have to die of something!

Competent, quick and boring is exactly the requirement. At the nice end of 30 I’ve got time on my hands for something at the lairy end of the spectrum.
A 3l RWD hatchback with mediocre - before said accident- probably wasn’t the best choice, but I thought it sounded romantic at the time. Last of a generation, won’t happen again etc. Amusingly the handling mods were planned for next month. I’m not sure whether to be glad I didn’t spend that money or not!
Now, one requirement I might not have mentioned is leg room. I’m 194cm. TT from memory isn’t big enough. But golf and s3 are. Yet to try a focus r/s - but like the idea as it was my first car. And again, something that will never be repeated!
