Hi,
Looking for some advice here as thinking of changing the Fiesta ST for something else (nothing to do with my redesigned bumper/dog crash!).
I had been on the lookout for GTI Golfs but they are pretty silly money i.e 20K+ for an 2009. I know they are maybe cheaper on the mainland but in NI the prices seem silly.
On the other hand you can pick up an 08 Focus ST for around £12k. Now I know what they say about running costs but there is £8k approx of difference in price.
Can anyone who has driven both suggest their preferences? I am not massively concerned about running costs to be honest as most of my mileage is work related. I'd consider a remap of the Focus though if it would help things.
I took a look through the autotrader the other night and there are just hardly any cars that I actually like the look of these days. The S3 is nice car too but I think anything over 20k is crazy money. So many other things I could put the money towards.
Opinions please.
