I'm on the lookout for a family hatch with a little bit of pace, and this curiosity has cropped up near me. I know 140bhp isn't exactly quick, and I was ideally looking at 180-200bhp (or thereabouts) cars but they're very few and far between (e.g. 1.8 TSi Leon, C'eed GT, etc)

The i30 fastback appeals more that the hatch, from what I've read it's got a lower suspension, is bit stiffer, and more of a 'dynamic' drive whatever that means. The 1.4s seem to be few and far between and I've watched a couple of vids on youtube but wondered if anyone on here had one.
