I'd say definately the Polo GT (if it comes over here) if your after power. The Polo obviously weighs allot less than an A3 and also IMHO uses a much more responsive diesel engine.
I'm pretty sure the GT is gonna be a bit more special when it comes out. Also, I imagine the residuals with a GT badge would be pretty good too (though of course they could never match an A3, but thats a womans car!
)

Another Car which will be worth a look is the forthcoming Seat Ibiza Cupra TDi or whatever they're going to call it. Same 150bhp engine outta the current Golf TDi-GT.
OK, I know it's technically spanish but it's all kit from the same VAG parts bin

If you're happy with your current Polo, go for the GT.
If not, try something else!

Personally I would say wait for the new GT, or if you can wait even longer, then see what the Polo GTI comes out like.
Old or new, there is something I have never liked about the A3.
The new Golf looks promising, but it's going to take a lot of self persuasion to get to like it's 'funky' looks.
