Planning for next hot hatch purchase

[TheFungle]

Not sure is this is a 'Car Buying' thread but let's see

Anyway, my RS Megane 280 lease is up next December and it feels prudent to consider next option.

What's likely to be available?

Civic Type-R looks mega pricey and Golf R is well....Golf R.

Driving experience is key but struggling to think of anything worth considering, even 13 months out.

I'd say the Type R but with 13 months to go, you've got plenty of time to test drive the options

I'm in a similar boat but decided there's nothing better than what I have out there, so I'm keeping the Megane. The only thing I'd probably consider in your position is an I30N.

Why not wait 9 months and then see?

I think it's wise to plan now, if going for new/lease. Lead times are still very long.

Wot 'e said.

I30 is a good shout.

Looking at silly 2nd hand options like an XK but I like the predictability of 300pm and warranty.

You'd need a very hefty deposit to get an i30N for 300 pm.
