It's probably a difficult time of the year to spec and buy a new car exactly to your liking. Apart from the emissions legislative changes in the pipeline (see what I did there!), keep in mind that most of the European manufacturing plants will wind down for a month in July/August, and then it's new registration madness in the UK in September.
As usual, dealers will try to sell you the model that suits them, not you.
If you can't find something you like in dealer stock somewhere, I wouldn't bank on ordering and getting what you want until October-time...
My default suggestion these days: go take a look at a Honda Civic 1.5 turbo?
