As crossfades says the Polo is the best car (by some distance), the Hyundai was a compromised design from the outset, the Citroen hasn't been developed as much as needed over the last couple of years (Citroen having one eye on the wtcc) and M-Sport don't have the money. The worrying thing is that VW stopped working on the Polo (because they didn't need to do any more to win) and started work on their 2017 car - so chances are even with a rules reset the VW will be the class of the field.
Ogier is also the best driver in the field, he's quick and consistent - there are others out there that are quick but they all seem to be very hit and miss in terms of whether they deliver the pace or not. Latvala is the biggest disappointment for me - he has promised so much and is always 'nearly' there, he just seems to fall short (or fall off the road) too often.
For 2017 I'm hoping the Citroen can at least match the Polo - then we should see Meeke taking the fight to Ogier.
