Also went to test M2C in both manual and DCT form and was pretty amazed by the S55 in that car, also kinda enjoyed the more muted, no pops and bangs, soundtrack from that car. Will definitely own a M2C at some point aswell, buying one now would mean high depreciation and high road taxes(new rules in Sweden since july 2018).

M2 DCT highest on the list now by far since I didn't really think M2C was that more special than a "OG" M2.

Budget alternatives until I saved up for a GT4 are Fiesta ST, GT86/brz and Megane RS.
Any opinions on them?
Out of those I'd lean towards the GT86 primarily because it's the only rear-wheel drive one. Driving dynamics are great, power is very low until you get above 4k RPM though. Interior is probably the worst of the 3. I'd recommend test driving the three though. I loved my BRZ but it desperately needed a tune and headers for daily driving to get the power up.
