Post subject: | VW Golf GTI or Focus ST or Other? |
Could i get some debating going? When i come to getting another car in about a year or so's time after next years summer (a long way off i know) What are your thoughts? VW Golf GTi - 200bhp DSG or manual? Ford Focus ST - 222bhp not as well built as the golf, nice soundtrack, cheaper Other - renault megane sport was mentioned but others please suggest at will ![]() I am thinking Golf as its better made, i've driven the first 2 and the focus sounds better but the golf i think was better somehow and i could just remap it Gonna look at other facts and figures Does anyone else have other cars in mind? about the same groups and running costs, don't want to go back to an old car Let the discussing begin ![]() |

Golf, no doubts. Best out of the Focus in terms of looks, build quality and handling. 200bhp out of the engine isn't even begining to stretch the legs. Higher resale value as theres fewer about than the ST. It has the correct badge on the front - not just from my point of view, but most consumers will shy away from the shonky oval and roll with the germans and with good reason. I prefer driving my Dads Golf over my Clio for daily driving as the comfort far outweighs the performance. STs are gonna drop in price big time. Decent Mk1 Golf GTI's are now fetching 'excellent' money. The Mk5 regained some of the enthusiasm for the VW branded GTIs after the Mk3/4 era. It's the most sensible suggestion you've ever put forth ![]() RS Megane is only good in certain specs. I wouldn't get a normal turbo model. Not focused enough. Would have to be the R26 or nothing. |

Whatever you get, go second hand. Try and avoid spending pennies you don't possess ![]() |

Deffo go for the focus mate. I think it looks better, its more powerful as standard and its a better overall package. You can then spend the money you saved with it being cheaper doing some mods to make it even faster and you will have a very good overall package. ![]() Considered a bugatti veyron? ![]() |

Bugatti Veyron hmmm, if i could live on nothing and pay no rent or anything and keep all my money each year i could afford one in ... 30 years ![]() The Golf sounds like the sensible option as when i had one for just over a week it was simply brilliant, i want a car that is quick but really comfortable to drive when im not in a rush CTR seems to need to have its nuts revved off to shift, any other cars that people can suggest Oh and Woodsy lesson learnt by me mate ![]() ![]() And while were on it people, golf GTi i dont think the R32 is worth having ontop is it?? not worth the price for little more AND DSG or manual? ![]() |

I say Focus ST, they look good, drive good, with decent power and its a Ford. Golfs are over rated. See more Golfs then ST's ! |

Don't waste money on the focus or the golf. and get something decent ![]() And go deisel for some proper torque. Along the lines of 330d. Better than a poxy ford or golf, RWD, POWER, and MPG you know its right. |
