Others to consider:

Audi S3
Audi TT
BMW m235i or m240i

All of the above are in the same affordable price range used compared to the GTI
S3 is an overpriced Golf R with the old Haldex setup and a bad form factor. Forget that one.

What do you mean bad form factor? Did the mk7 golf r have the haldex? Yes the magna system is better but you can't get a mk8
