I've looked at a new Polo GTI, around 19,500£ with the spec I wanted which was pretty much everything included in that price.
Only reason I looked is that I could get a 5 door one, as the Golf I have now with 3 doors is starting to be a bit testing when getting the little un in the car seat in the back.
But then, you can only get the stupid patterned seats for the Polo GTI, they should offer a leather option instead of just a scottish kilt for a seat pattern :(
The Leon FR is also something I looked at, but i'd never be happy knowing the Cupra was the top dog not the FR, just a shame there is no Cupra DSG... That has cost SEAT sales no doubt in my mind.
If you don't mind the silly seat pattern, then the Polo GTI seems to tick your boxes mate.
