Ok, went through the same conundrum recently…
had a Golf R from new in 2019 before lockdown for the airport weekly run and “hated” it with an absolute passion. Ok my bad as I did not test drive beforehand but thought I’d done enough reviews with similar conclusions to be comfortable.
For me, it was totally boring… bump and rebound were all wrong for U.K. roads (or where I live in rural Suffolk/Essex. Just inert for my tastes..
So got rid over a year ago and been doing using the Forester but as we are all back up and running since Jan, needed another car as the Forester is “tiring”…
In the end, went for a 2020 2k mile Fiesta ST 3-door with the performance pack (LSD) and pano roof…
1-month and 600 miles in and love it… getting 47mpg on a run with 41 overall…
Handling is a hoot and just enough power to make it interesting without feeling you will loose a licence…
I’d seriously suggest getting one… Does not have adaptive cruise control as manual but don’t need it.
