I am in a similar boat here in AU. I've never really had a decent 'new' car so looking forward to buying something that noone else has touched. However, with no real pricing info available it's a bit difficult to hold off when there are other cars on the market today. I'm looking at a couple of the aforementioned hatches (GTI, Scirocco and Megane 250). The GTI certainly is the most practical choice, however here in Melbourne they're more common than Corollas! I have driven my friends MK5 and they are a very good car, but it did feel a bit tame.

One of the attractions of the 86/BRZ is that I used to own a MR2 (SW20) and that was one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. I wouldn't mind something like that again.
