Experiences and alternatives to current type R

Hello together, I hope this is the right place for the topic, otherwise I would like to put a mod all in the right place….. I’m looking for a new vehicle. Sporty it should be…. so far I’m the 3 MPS test risk and the type R. I somehow fell in love with the Honda,… but I also want to have other test drives before I make a final decision. There are still test drives planned with a Focus ST and a Corolla (but I don’t know the exact model name). Are there any other alternatives in the price group? Furthermore, I would be interested in experiences with the Type R, how does it look like in terms of quality? Has anyone here already had negative or positive experiences?
