Which of the cars that the 1.8T would you say is better?

Been looking at a few and the golf/a3/ibiza all look good etc. Which would you recommend of them?

A3/GOLF no diffrent

Ibiza is a polo/golf cross breed

all handle a bit shit, all break stuff, by the one with the biggest service history

I typically would say this because it's my car, I know, but I'm quite impressed by my A3 Quattro's handling. Been giving it death recently round the coutry lanes and it's held on well tbh.

I wasn't comparing it to an impreza. Not driven another car that compares to that tbh. They're not even comparable as they're two totally different kinds of car imo.

I just meant that I don't think the handling is as pants as it's made out to be.
