So looking for some opinions currently my "fleet" is a 10 year old Honda Civic that I drive every day & a Toyota GR86 that is a weekend car that I don't drive enough.
I'm thinking of replacing them with one car that does everything so I'm looking at I suppose hot hatches so would welcome any suggestions, requirements are....
Automatic
Nearly new
Budget up to 30k new list under 40k don't want to pay additional road tax
Sub 7 seconds 0 to 60 time
Nothing french

Thanks

You're missing out on the Megane RS300 Trophy because of your no French rule. Shame.

Gold R it is then. Enjoy.

I know I may be missing out on the Mégane but previous experience with french cars put me off them for life

When you say nearly new, how new is nearly new?

"Sub 7 seconds 0 to 60 time"

I'd really hope if i had 30k-40k to spend on a hot hatch it could crack 60mph in 7 seconds.

I think you may struggle a bit to get a <£40k list price nearly new car with decent power. Possibly an S3 "Entry" which I think was under £40.

One car that popped up was the CUPRA Leon. Nice car, 300bhp 0-60 less than 5 secs, AWD etc. 2023 model with 10k on the clock for £29k
