New cars- GTi, Golf R, Type R, S3 or ST- which one would you buy?

[Homer]

I am talking the latest models- I want to switch in a year, maybe 2 and there is a lot to choose from all of a sudden. The new R,S3 etc will all be out by then.

Which one would you go for and why?

The new civic type r should be a brilliant car. I'd love it.

Reasons why. It was designed on nuringburg to beat the Megannes lap record. Meaning it will be a true race machine. Very much like the Renault tbf. Honda build quality reliability looks and super cool dash. I'm sure it will have flaws as all cars have but I'm genuinely excited about seeing this once released.

I think the new s3 looks hideous
probably Golf r

[rich83]

Megane 265!

either the Megane or the Audi for me. think the new Focus is hideous, and the new Golf R isn't particularly good looking either. for resale value the S3 would probably edge it for me - i get the impression hot Meganes don't hold their value well.

Doesn't matter.... It would more than make up for it in term of smiles!

Not a fan of the new Focus design either, hard to distinguish from a Fiesta and dislike the wheels.

Don't like the new A3/S3 design, looks worse than the last generation.

The Civic is launching quite late isn't it? The next generation of models will probably only be a year away but the Civic will most likely be well received. Also how will a 1.6 engine sound...

The MK7 Golf GTI and R looks have grown on me, if cost isn't an issue then probably a Golf R.

Most likely another Golf R for me, but I must admit that there isn't much that gets my juices flowing from the rest of that list. At a push the S3, but the others would fall behind once modified due to the fwd platform.

Im all about the Golf!!

Currently have a GTI, id go for the R for a little more go

[doylebros]

Golf R wins for me - the rest are nice but you need an animal when you want one!

[Mk5 GTian]

None of them. If I had 30-35K spend I'd get a 1 to 2 year old S4 or S5 and Revo Stage 1. Different gravy.

+1 for the new civic type r..im waiting till a release date then a dippers going down on one,i have a soft spot for hondas as last 2 cars were an ep3 then a dc5 teg in white..

If I was in the position to be able to choose one of those , probably the Golf 7 R , I havent seen the new Type R yet though , nor do I know anything about it. Audis leave me cold for some reason , however good they are , i just dont want one - unless it was over 25 years old! I dont mind the Focus now , I hated the new shape when it first came out but I do quite like the ST. I also like the Megane 265 Cup but would have worries about reliability.

[gobbleplease]

The mk7 golf r seems to be the second fastest hot hatch at the mo only to the megane !
Depends on what you want ? I'd pesonally sacrifice a little bit of track speed for build quality, reliability, and day to day liveability !

Mk7 R for me please
