Considered an Octy VRS 2.0T? Remap to about which feels lovely and can be economical? Quality almost as good as a Golf and a bit cheaper to buy.
2014: 8V S3, Scirocco (mistake)
2013: B8 RS 5, 3.0T S5 coupe, B8 S5 cab - temp, B8 S4 avant
2011: 2.0T FL Octavia VRS
2010: 1.8T Octavia VRS

Yep until I get upgraded at work, thought the golf was gonna be a good bet how wrong i was.

But Then working figures out for the next year

RS4 £520 per month to run (fuel,tax and insurance) 18-20mpg

Mondeo £250 month to run 50 mpg.
