Does it have to be new-almost new?
One of the older model VW's can be a nice decision - as said, the 1.8T is a great engine if it's treated properly, and I know what the bland feeling a Subaru gives is like. You'll find that a mid-to-late 90's GTI is a dramatic move up from where you're at now, and they're always a pleasure to drive. The interiors from that era are pretty spiffy too... blue+red guages=major cool. Subaru does make quite a great car, though... the reliability is great, and I do love their engines... the boxer setup is v. neat IMO. You may also check out the outback with the 3.0 T, as it puts out quite a lot of HP *and* torque, due to the horizontal setup. A VW can treat you just as well with regular maintenance like oil/filter changes, lube, and preventative repair, as long as you're wary of models with electrical problems. My experience with those, however, is hit&miss, which is what makes buying used nice.
