I know the drag race was a bit pointless but the sideways fun looked good, but 30k is a bit steep.

The golf R does look nice but 30k is well steep and ill even be slightly controversial and say i think given the choice id rather have the scirroco R.

Thats ok, in a more contraversial move i'd rather take the focus RS.

I'd go for the Focus RS, but I'm from Essex so Ford Motorsport is a massive part of Essex life and ways. I was a Ford man (am still am in a way) before I got into VW as much as I am into them now.

A Golf is better built than a Focus though, always have been. They've been making Golfs for over 20 years so got to be doing something right I guess...

Focus RS would be my choice, however they are aimed at different markets really.

RS for me the R is nice but way over priced
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Price is the biggist issue, Golf R is way too expensive against the Focus.
