I fancy a mk7 gti if those mpg figures are anywhere near realistic it would not be far off the perfect hatch!

My short list for my next car is:

Golf mk6 r
Golf mk7 gti
Ford focus st mk3
Ford fiesta st ( the new one)
Ford focus rs mk2

ATM I'm leaning towards the rs just fancying something more in your face next time and that cracking 5 pot noise. Love that these people who are wanna be snobs in their BMW would look down there noses at you at the lights when your in a rs then you can take off like a hooligan and live up to your rep   :evilgrin:

Try a 335i with a JB4. :)

Not really a big fan of bmw. I think it's maybes more to do with the kind of people that drive them in general. Il have to stop here because I'm in danger of going into rant mode ha. Really fancying a hot ford next tho

mk6 Golf GTD best of both worlds

+ 1

+2

Switched to the GTD last September and love it. Not as nice noise wise and a little slower off the blocks but pulls like a train through all the mid gears, plus the DSG is great (used to have manual GTI).

Terrible for condensation, especially on front screen - mines in next week to investigate. That and seeing the circles from the robot arms when condensation on screen

O/T - Have you tried cleaning the inside and outside of your windshield? The outside might have some contaminants on it. My condensation reduced when I cleaned the interior screen with alcohol and polished inside/out afterwards.

The MK5 was the same for condensation.

Unfortunately so, cleaned with cheap window cleaner and expensive autoglym stuff and makes no difference. It's all on the inside. My mk5 didn't have any such issues but mk6 is awful.

Fingers crossed VW can work it out. I have heard there is a special cleaner that they have to clean the glass that should have been used at the factory after installation so we shall see. I have VW customer care in the loop too to see how it goes.

I've just come from a stage 3 Focus ST3. Running around 330hp/450lbft. Its a massive backwards step to go from a VW to one of those. The ST is decent but the build quality and reliability is genuinely appalling, especially when you start tuning.

The torque from the 5 pot is immense, as is the noise. Mine encourage me to drive like a hooligan, constantly. They don't like been driven slowly.

What do you have now? If it's something like a gti or Cupra can you compare your ford to your car now from a driving point of view. Stock for stock if you can also. :happy2: the reason I'm fancying a change is ford seem to always come out on top with the hot versions for being a more fun/drivers car to drive. Thanks
