Came from a MKV GTI so I naturally considered:

-MKVI GTI
-Golf R (didn't think the incremental $ was worth it to be honest)
-Veloster Turbo (didn't even bother to test drive, just was a thought)
-Focus ST (wasn't available yet in Canada, did some research on it though - looked like a proper platform for a hot hatch in stock form)

Still a big fan of the GTI, would like to get another eventually as a family/touring car.

RWD cars considered:

-Genesis Coupe 2.0
-FRS/BRZ

In the end, wanted to give RWD a shot (FR-S is my first) and the after market development for the platform was just insane...
