Instead of an Insignia courtesy car, I received a well specced Kuga 2.0 150ps ST-Line

Unfortunately they didn't/don't have a like-for-like car as my 130i.. although impressed with the spec I think it has every option available i.e. cruise control, climate control, folding mirrors, sat nav, bluetooth etc..

Not impressed by the power delivery / turbo lag though!
 
Still relatively new to forum..here is my current motor since September, it is a 2014 Peugeot 208 GTI Prestige edition.
The car has had High pressure fuel pump and fuel pump in tank replaced under warranty after few days of buying the car.
Current mods:
Climair Wind Deflectors
Pipercross Panel Filter
GFB DV+
Brembo Brakes all-round
Michelin Pilotsport 3 tyres all-round
Powerflex Yellow insert mount
CG Motorsport Stage 3 Paddle Clutch kit
Pug1Off Lighten SM Flywheel

Never driven any previous hot hatches from Peugeot so i can't really make the comment sadly but i think it is a right step in direction, specially they also have the 308 GTI that is pushing 270/280bhp out of its 1.6 engine.
The 208 gti is light, handles corners pretty well but not as good as the GT86(had one previously but had swap due to amount of commute i do), seating position could do a lot lower,wish Peugeot need fix the steering wheel positioning as it does block the dials. The torque kicks in similarly to a diesel when you put bit more gas in. The economy is reasonable aswell being a 1.6, the clutch will need replacing though if going above stage 2 remap.
 
The Polo GTI Hypercar is about to go back to Mr Lease so thought I would take a photo of our 3 motors. The MX5 is about to clock up 90K miles and I went out to Stafford in it today (ripped the backside out of my expensive suit trouser so had to drop them back to shop for fixing....fat arse) and it felt as tight and sorted as the day we bought it. It really has been a fantastically reliable car that has cost pennies to run. Clutch is tight, brakes and steering superb and though it's never fast when you get it on its tippy toes on the right road it really is fantastic fun.

Still haven't decided what I will replace the Polo with and struggling to get the Alfa Stelvio in the spec I want.
