Buy whatever Clarkson recommends.
Clarkson bums up Golfs a lot and has a GTI for himself. Might not suit the OP though.

A Clio. I have a scooter too, 125cc of pure adrenalin.
AV8 - buy the car that fits you best, and sod the internetz opinion.
(says a man with some willful choices...)
I already suggested Subaru in post #9 ...Try a Subaru Outback or Forester with a petrol engine. Great cars, deep engineering and nicely understated. Way better in my experience than the German stuff. 5 year warranty as well, although doubt you'd need to use it.
But the OP does not seem interested enough to respond to that suggestion, but seem destined to return to the VW fold despite the initial protestation he'd never.I like station-wagons or estates as you call them. They handle like a sedan and offer more space for haulage. In that vein, I'd suggest a Subaru Outback (bigger, more gentlemanly) or Levorg (smaller, more spirited). They are sharply priced (in New Zealand at least) and the AWD drivetrain a great bonus in inclement weather.
No, the Ford 2.0 Ecoboost is just a 2.0 turbo charged engine from themselves, same as the VW one in application.
Ford have a range of Ecoboost engines from 1.0 to 1.5 to 2.0 capacity, all turbocharged.
My one overriding fear of the Mazda is that it is a normally aspirated engine so it might seem sluggish against the VW engine, time will tell though.
Never really fancied a Golf even though they are somewhat worshipped by some people.

Since you were interested in the Kuga (yuck imv) have you thought about the new Mazda CX5? Mazda are selling plenty and I believe they have addressed the low class cabin with the latest update. It's practical and drives well too, I'm not sure what the engines are like. In the past Mazda haven't offered much choice.

Who is this Clarkson?
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but not prepare a feast when I command then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall feel the taste of my bare knuckle and the wrath of my heavenly father who will take vengeance on your eternal soul. So now eff off and get me some grub Paddy if you know what's good for you.
I enjoy driving mostly so want something with a bit of driver appeal & involvement,
What Toyota vehicles can you suggest ?
Toyota can thank Subaru for the driver appeal of the GT86. It's the only Toyota I'd seriously consider buying before I must wear elasticised beige pants.For the most part (GT86 excepted) these two statements are incompatible.
