You're shitting me !!!, this is getting ridiculous in this country now. So glad I opted for the 5 year warranty so at least I have just under 3 more years to see what comes out. If the Golf 8.5r is still about i may get that then. Didn't really want to go 4WD again after a 50p washer in my JCW Paceman driveshaft started leaking and involved about a grands work to lift out the chassis to access it and replace it.

The Kona N has been discontinued in the UK along the other 2.
I believe a 73 plate is the newest you can buy, which when new had a starting price of £35,820 against the same period Puma 1.5 ST of £31,770.
The Ioniq 5 N is in current production though. :D
Totally insane performance, but out of my and probably most Puma owners price range.
Electric...no thanks.

Probably the only car I might move to would be the BMW 128ti which you can get for around £36.000 after discount. Its at the top of my budget but a strong contender, if its still around when I'm ready to change.
Mine in the garage in a week or so due to the keyless entry not working on passengers side and car going into deep sleep mode most days. New battery on the horizon I think....after 2 years!
Full fat ST in fantastic red, pan roof and electric tailgate.

Yes that would be the EP3.
I had the FK8 in 2017.
