Snores like a puppy
Yes, there's been quite a few of these here lately. And now came a time, where I also stand before the choice, what to drive in the next few years, and I might need your help with this one.
My A6 has done a good job being my first car, but I think it's time to go on. From driving it the last 2 years, I realized a few things about what I want from the next one:
The idea is to give the Audi in as a first payment, and finance the next car over 2 to 3 years. Some calculations on the back of a laptop told me the list price of what I can afford - it's somewhere around ?30k.
The best option I could come up with so far is the VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI with a 7-gear DSG. It looks beautiful, I quite like the interior, it has the German quality to it, and the pricing is bang-on. I am getting a test drive in one of those next week to see if it's really what I want.
But I don't want to choose from one option. I know very well that there are lots of other hot hatches, smaller saloons and similar around. What would you guys recommend buying in my situation?

- It needs to be smaller (I drive alone most of the time, don't really need the boot space, and it's not very easy to park a big car in a European city these days)
- It needs to look better (the A6 is a great, but utterly boring looking thing)
- It needs to be sportier (again, the A6 is fine to drive, but not sporty whatsoever)
- It will not be a used car
- It probably will also stay German
