I am intending to look at the newer model to replace my other car (Chrysler Delta) when it comes time.

Depends on the pricing but the shortlist is the Leon, Citroen DS5 or the Focus ST.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The 1.6 TDI engine pulls well and linked to the 7 Speed DSG box it is an effortless cruiser. The Steering is well weighted and the wheel is the perfect size to enable perfect control.

Very easy to park and the addition of the Rear Parking Sensors makes it even easier.

The Sat Nav system and Bluetooth work superbly... best Sat Nav system I have ever used.
