Need a fast and comfortable car

Are there any new cars on sale in the UK that are equivalent or superior in all respects to the ride, performance and safety of the 2008 Saab Aero 2.3 HOT 4dr Auto?

This was my dream car before a reversing bin wagon changed its future. I've driven several other cars since, but nothing quite makes the mark.

Presuming you need room as well as vroom, a SEAT Leon ST Cupra isn't too shabby: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/seat/seat-leon-st-.../ Fair bit quicker than the SAAB with vastly better handling.
