I was looking a TT RS for £400 a months just 17k down payment
Now in the real world a if you want for thing sporty and practical, a focus ST would be good. Or if you just want sparky, Fiesta ST.
Sadly the GTC is no more so if you want a Coupe the Megane, scirocco are the only players now.
I recon a focus ST (250php)*estate would be up your street, comfy, good handling room for bikes in the back and quick.
* your 1 litre focus would of had about 100bhp, so you can see the ST would be a wee bit pokier.
Though in reality the 1.6diesel is probably a better buy it will get you a good 1/3+ better mpg, and will have the same mid range grunt. Just won’t be as quick off the lights. But will be sub 9s the ST sub 7s
