I've had enough

I might even settle for a Focus ST but they are a bit too blue collar and macho image for me

Re the quality issue, 'premium' german cars are now underperforming in the quality stakes accoring to Top gear's driver survey. The far eastern companies have much better quality control in their manufacturing processes. It's just our cars are build with cheap plastics (internally), but imho that's missing the point.
