The 2 car choice mentioned will be at 2 different price points, unless you are actually considering a Golf R ??Originally Posted by traveltravel
If that and transmission choice of a manual is no issue, IMO wait and get the AJ OPC - this vehicle sounds like it will set a new 'FWD' hot hatch standard and should come close if not match up to the Focus RS but in a much nicer and modern looking package and be much better equipped...should also cost alot less than the initial ask for the Focus RS.
Another serious choice (as others have pointed out) is the Megane RS250, they've just released a new limited edition - the Monaco RS250 which adds more kit to the existing model which makes it more like a Golf or the upcoming OPC in terms of interior trim levels, pricing is similar to the Golfs...

I have driven the Golf R and RS250. IMHO, the RS250 is the way to go unless you really want 4WD or love VW's (I love my VW).
The RS250 is simply the best hatch currently available IMHO...

Easy answer. Wait for the Astra GTC.
Contrary to what has been mentioned in other replies, the GTC is coming to Australia and so is the OPC version. You will be very disappointed next year if you buy a (boring) Golf now.

I reckon leave your options open.
You're happy with wha you have now, leave it for a bit and see what the Opel's are like.
You'd hate to rush into something and then say "I should've..."

Oh wait
What?
My comments from earlier still stand!
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
