I rather like the Focus ST. When I picked up my piddley 1.6 TDCi Focus from the dealers a few weeks back they had a very tasty Focus ST in....you've no idea how hard it was for me to turn my back on it....I wanted to take it but the fuel consumption doesn't lend itself to work mileage unfortunately!
had a sit in one of these the other day and inside looks really nice, im liking the totally black look of the roof lining aswell !! Makes it feel so much sportier Bet it flys !!!
Over an Astra VXR or Megane Renaultsport, then yes i prefer the new and smart looking Focus ST. If i were in the market for a new 200bhp (fwd only) hot hatch, then id have to drive the Golf as well, as i don't know anyone who has driven this car, and didn't really like the way it drives.
I'd leave the VXR alone to be honest, as good as it looks and has more BHP, it just cannot put it down properly on the road without wanting to head towards the nearest hedge, god help us all when the next generation of boyracer chavs start to get their hands on em :errx2:
My advice.... stick with the Focus ST, at least it's less likely for the engine management light to come on unlike the Vaux lol
