One owner mainly hwy use.
It is near on what I'm after and 90% its just me in it BUT my 2 main criteria's are :
now and then 14yr old daughter and friend for weekend sport
Must fit golf clubs good enough.
On both those counts it obviously doesn't pass with flying colours but you can live with it right, i30N will have similar restraint but you can near on get in a 2019 N or easily 2018 with 7yr WTY that also covers track use !
Sure the depreciation won't compare to the Golf but thats not my concern.
@ stig 3754 - funnily when I mentioned to the salesmen of the i30N P - he couldn't counter but agree its a bloody great Hatch/Coupe.
My test drive I very impressed how it went, the tech is brilliant as mentioned.
I'd like the Coupe style.

I love the golf R's and any review has basically read that if you want a hot hatch but one that's got comfort and performance - albeit surpassed by the RS and STI given theyre not awd, the R is the way to go. Your criteria is much like mine - if it fits the sticks and can put 1-2 people in the rear. Manual R is hard to find. I have no interest in DSG
