The 1er is great. No complaints. The issue is I'm getting bored. I've done all the suspension, bushings, sway bars, m sport pieces, manual swap, exhaust, big brake kit... I'm just kinda done and have no desire to throw any more money into it.
So... Focus ST maybe? I don't think the GTI is for me, I've test driven one every time I've purchased a car in the last 20 years and have never driven one home.

I went from an FBO tuned ST to my 128. The ST easily had more power, was faster and a blast to drive but, the refinement levels for a daily were frustrating. Aftermarket support was huge and parts were inexpensive so it was a lot of fun to build the car- if you can get past some of the quirks and quality of the interior, the car is fantastic for an enthusiast imo. I'm surprised I don't see more around at autox and car shows.
