If you want decent leg room in the back get a Golf instead

C'mon Dan, the days when people bought C segment Hatchbacks for their versatility, practicality & economy are long gone!

They're bought for their RWD handling now, apparently...

Ours is the "basic" so it doesn't have fogs, radio controls on steering wheel, leather seats etc, etc but we don't need them anyway.
Only thing missing that I now consider a necessity is heated mirrors other than that it is all there.

It's OK to drive, power delivery reminds me a lot of my old MK1 GTI with a 1900 big valve or my 350Z - which you drive lazily day to day on the torque band.
Recently did Harrogate and back and felt fresh as a daisy

eats up the miles painlessly.
We have three cars and this get chosen for the long trips.
