I've not seen any reviews on it but no ones ever said anything bad about the MK5 GTI so if the Focus is beating it then it must be a pretty sh1t hot motor.  :cry:
......now officially dubless.

its not beaten the GTI in Evo - their reporter said that the GTI is still THE benchmark  :nerd:

only thing going for the Ford (unfortunately) is the ridiculously low price of the thing  :sad: if only VW could make the GTI that cheap..........

Yes some mags do have it beating the GTI - however its always just beating it cause of the cost, the gti is a much classier car and always will be i haqve an st170 prior to my gti and it was bloody crap!
