Finding one nearby who specialises in boxer engines is a bit tricky. There is a Bosch service centre but I'm not sure how much they know about Subarus...

That GTI has decent mileage at the price. Most of the sub R300k ones i've seen have high mileage. And that is coming from someone with 135000km on my 2012 model.
That Subaru you linked has some nice kit on it. If you going to buy older, then you don't need to neccesarily need to service at dealers. Find a good independent to do all your work

I think I am considering the Megan GT now, it's looking like good value for money btw it will be going from a Focus ST to Megan, will i notice any difference?

If you're going along and you don't notice smoke coming from under the hood, it's safe to say that you're not in a Ford...

Heard about Wayne. Almost went to him when my engine blew up.

GTI is very common but its for a reason.That interior is very well done, looks better than the renault and the st3, well to me atleast.
I was on the ST3 bandwagon for some time though because I was anti german cars, but they are the leaders for a reason - emissions scandel aside
Im glad to know that Renault has improved, used to work in market research and the Fiat ands Renaults were always the worst when it came to sales and service.Good to know.

Bland styling and a hideous interior?
You mean the styling is not sporty?
Then yes you have a point.

True, a good sports car under 300k is so hard to find, you need like a budget off 400k too pick up something decent

I think the exterior looks like a less attractive version of an AurisX.

The steering wheel alone is a put off, bulky af ..135i, If you look hard enough can find a decent one for 350k

For sure. I only include it in the mix cause you get a lot of car for the money compared to the others.
