Ive driven most these things (not a Focus ST yet tho) and i fucking love the Mk5 Golf GTI turbo. Awesome all round car. The handling etc is great, so much so id really think id not want to change the wheels or suspension for the risk of spoiling it (drive a Astra VXR for proof of flashy wheels etc can easy ruin a good car).

Leon Cupra Rs are great too.
