I wonder if you guys can help, Im in a dilema for a company car, I've narrowed it down from a list of over 1000 to 2 cars

VW Golf 2.0TDI GT 140 3dr

or

Focus 1.8TDCI Titanium 3dr

They're both similar on CO2 and MPG and I like the Focus styling and handling (through previous experiences) but looking at the brochures the Golf does look a very good car.

I'm going to take a test drive in both but wonder if anybody has a view or oppinion.

Thanks

I was thinking Golf, I had a look at both at the weekend and the interior of the Golf is far superior over the Focus especially the Alcantara covered seats and steering wheel!

Also the 236 Ft lb torque swayed things a bit, once ordered and delivered I'll post some pictures, but according to dealers there's a 3-6 month waiting list!

I find from personal experience that the golf is better made and VAG diesels are solid good engines, if money is no issue golf FTW! plus less depreciation, so more of your money back afterwards :thumbsup:
