As I said to CAR, having had a bloody hard look about I couldn't find anything more suitable that I'd actually want. Sure realistically I could have spent 3k on a BMW 320d e46 tourer and got good mpg, probably good reliability and generally more refinement and a more mature car as a whole, but f*ck getting an old man's car now!
For me it would be a K1 cupra with the BTCC Kit, in candy white.
Nowhere near as common as the old leons, and underrated massively.
I do see the appeal of the Megane though. I nearly swapped my E46 for a 225 cup one.
K1 Cupra, like you say understated but very nice in all respects!
My dads just got an 11 plate Astra a a run around for a few months, good going up and down between somerset and Hampshire doing an avg 52 mpg, 190 BHP 6 speed diesel which is great, ordered from the factory as a dealership demonstrator, bright red with 19 inch wheels. Tastefull but surprisingly fast
Personally I'd have another RS4 in a heartbeat
