Think I've struck the vrs 230 off my list on the basis of the EVO review. I'm a bit concerned that the cupra 290 uses a different lsd unit than the 280. That would be a shame.

I think the trouble I'm having is, nothing is standing out.

The two cars I really fancy are ridiculously expensive.

The M5, is expensive, but justifiably so.

The RS3, is just too expensive for a glorified A3, but I just can't seem to leave it alone!

I'm waiting for something to jump out. Hopefully, a good deal will pop up soon.

Go for an upsoecced R as you know it's the all round best in class and better than many above. Good discounts on. Orangewheel or Carwow and others. lol

I've yet to prove otherwise.

You obviously can't better the R. Just go for an uprated spec,then buy via discounters like Orangewheels,Carwow and a VW dealership.

I've seen nothing better in the sector YET!lol

Another 2 years ,before R400 with any luck

Don't forget I'm leasing Kieth. Different ball game compared to the route you are suggesting

Well I've had a loyal customer invite to dealership I bought my cars from. 0% pcp, deposit contribution, discounted prices weekend offer but only applies to skoda. Be rude not to look at the vrs diesel and 230 octy, and the 280 engined superb. Unless it's a mega deal I think I'll probably be looking at the Alfa if around in June or a cupra ST.

Will be Sept 2016 onwards for the Giulia Steve - and I have a feeling that's going to slip anyway!

Sadly I think you're right.....

There's an Alfa nut here at work and I think their forums are already going on about it being at least 2017 :(

Crap.

Not sure if this has been mentioned/fits the profile but what about a Volvo V60 Polestar?

I've just been reading Richard's thread about the Focus RS. It's the first alternative mega hatch that has made me think I want one!

Interesting car, & not one I'd considered or really knew much about.

However, just checked current lease prices, and it's more expensive than an M5.

On that basis.......I'm ooot.

Still on my list, could be a great car.

RS order book full into 2017 I believe. Unless you have a special handshake with the Stealer!

No what I mean!!

I don't mind waiting tbh, I might have to anyway!

That'll be off my list then :(

Hmm superb diesel. Maybe I should stick something more suitable to my business mileage and age. Plus I am seriously concerned about my license....

Interesting review for you:http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ford/focus/94086/rs-hatchback

I've just seen a Mercedes E63 Lease for £4500 down then £599pm. + vat

2 years and 10k miles per year.

Any good?

Kind of breaks my £11.5k over 2 years rule

Nice car though

BMW 340i

RS3 (if lease prices reduce by more than 10%)

Golf R

BMW 335xd

Ford RS (unlikely as lease deals unlikely to be good)

BMW 135i

M5

List trimmed

Gotta be the M135i ;-)

I didn't see that. Yes it well and truly breaks it!

The E63 sounds incredible tho!

Edit I've just seen a 335xd lease that comes

In at £10500 over 2 years inc VAT.

8k miles per year and fully maintained.

Edited 19 January, 201610 yr by vRS Joe

M235i? I'd have over 1 series.
