New Focus or Golf or A3? - Heppubansan
Looking for a new car. Have yet to drive any of these but really liked the old focus. The new one is nice, but so is the golf. However, for the money of a golf I could get an A3. Any thoughts? Would be looking at 1.6 - 2.0 petrols.

New Focus estate and saloon look particularly stylish, much more so than the hatch.

New Focus or Golf or A3? - bhoy wonder
I have now had three golfs. My first golf was a high mileage and never had any problems with it but as I have upgraded to new newer versions of golf the build quilty, reliablity and servicing has steadily went down hill. At present I have a 2001 Golf 40000 miles had since new. It has had problems with power,diesel light coming on when driving, gears are crunchy, water getting into the air filter and abs coming on at 10 mph it took them 3 weeks to find the problem. My last service resulted in me having to go back as they had ran out of oil.

I for one would not buy a golf again. I am presently looking at the ford mondeo.
