Yes, new is what we're looking for here. and actually, I totally forgot the Focus ST existed. I don't like the interior either, but I could live with it. Marisa hates it. So it's irrelevant.

Mini is a good suggestion, but the reliability of the whole brand has been worse than abysmal. Take a BMW, make it cheaper, and the result is not surprising.

The X1er is too ugly.

I know VW is better than they used to be. But I have two close friends with MKVI GTIs at 60-80k miles and both of them are developing electrical problems.
