vw Golf R vs ford focus RS

[dub-addict]

Focus RS for me 

you all seem to take the focus    guys whats going on i thought this was a dub forum  im die hard dub man and would take the golf over any car just to prove my loyalty to the brand   

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

yeah i must agree on that ,seeing as its more expensive than an audi s3 , and the s3 really  is supposed to be a superior car in my opinion

i'd go for the 'R' brand loyalty etc well made as its a vw  a tad overpriced compared to the focus but its a ford i suppose for anyone thats okay spending 30k on their car then that wont be a problem to them

R20 if I had to choose, but deep down I'd get a LCR as its similar and much cheaper, or a S3. Reason "oh look its a essex benifit fraudster in a RS which is a chaved up ST" (no offence mike). Plus I'd say the golf is more classy, while the RS is for pulling 15year olds that don't know anything better with a trip to HMP Belmarsh.

Id have the golf gti, even that is expensive though.

I would be tempted by the golf R if i had not ordered a GTI but i think the S3 with its far superior standard equipment and large 10%+ discounts would tempt me away from much higher priced golf R. The S3 also a prooven product with any design and build flaws ironed out now, it maybe older and near replacment but that can be a plus as i just pointed out. The SEAT leon R or cupra are just too rounded a look for my liking and the visability out of them is too compromised. The RS is just to essex boy for me.

focus RS all the way

the clubsport Focus RS is even more brutal

and the new version is supoopsed to be even better still, however thats a few years away yet

fully kitted out focus RS is only a tad more than a standard golf R

Not been out in either yet but I reckon it'd be quite a tough choice. The Focus looks like a chavs wet dream from factory but is cheaper and I suspect more mental.

Golf is very expensive but looks better (imo) and has the four wheel drive.

Don't see why you'd bother with the rocco R which doesn't have four wheel drive. It does look the dangleys though!

Not sure on that, Focus is around £27k Golf R is over £30k.

If I had enough cash to buy either without a struggle it'd be the R all day long. Faster, better built, better handling, better residuals so worth the extra money. If I was maxing my budget on either and it would be a financial stretch I'd get a Golf GTI and a ramp

Edit: If the Focus was AWD I'd probably get that over a mapped GTI though.
