i would say golf, but having looked into getting them they are fairly expensive to buy. for a 51 plate you are looking from anything between 2k-3k and most likely have high miles. the focus however would be cheaper to buy but focus's dont seem to be that fuel efficent. the gold does look better though

Focus will be a fuck load more fun. They handle stupidly well out of the box. Golfs dont, non GTI/R versions anyway. Body roll without stability

Focus 1.6 will be pretty numb though. Golf will be built much better and will be a much better day to day drive
btw can get 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 zetecs in the Focaii
