Care to elaborate, a 300 bhp AX is relevant to my interests.

Started lifed as a 1.4 AX GTI, then had:

106GTI engine
T25 Turbo with uprated acutator
Omega low compression forged pistons
490cc injectors
Carworx intercooler
Mocal oil cooler
Omex 600 ecu
Apexi avc-r
Carworx MA gearbox upgrade
Quaiffe ATB diff
Racelogic adjustable launch and traction control
Tarox 285 6 pot brakes on the front, Saxo VTS on the rear with adjustable bias
Saxo VTS struts with shortened bilstein group n shocks
Saxo VTS rear beam, 22mm torsion bars
Polycarb windows
Fully seam welded, with rollcage
Plus more stuff i'm sure that i've forgotten

A leon cupra with a revo remap is absurdly good value for money. Would tempt me back to a FWD hot hatch for sure.

I've got my eye on the GTI I tested..........a lot of bang for buck that is for sure.

That depends on the car though, and how it gets its power down. When I had my 200bhp 205 I would be mostly agrreing with you as I could never get the power down in that, especially in the wet, but my ST is totally different and drives more like an AWD vehicle, even when wet.

Still impressed with that Alfa 147 track time though... from a few posts back.
