VW or Ford?

Im currently trying to decide between a VW Golf (Mk5 preferably) and a Ford Focus (the older shape) 1.8 or 2l Zetec.

What would you guys/girls go for?

Also - im incredibly chuffed today as i work for the police and i passed my force driving test - meaning i can drive non-operational vehicles! Hooray!

The main reason the Golf popped into my head as its what i drove to do my test this morning - a Golf GTI 2l. I have'nt had a proper test drive of the Focus yet though so will have to see what happens, but i always appreciate the comments i get from you guys.

Oh and im not a copper - i said i work for the police, im just an IT guy that needs to drive a non-operational police vehicle so i can move kit around different stations. If im driving a force car i HAVE to park in police stations, so don't ever need to worry about parking.

Thanks for your opinions.

I have never looked at cars in this sort of class before so needed some help, although i found the fact that everyone jumped on the "lets rip it out of his question, the motoring n000b!!!oneoneone" bandwagon slightly unnecessary.

Due to pricing it looks like ill be going for the Focus. Hopefully ill find a nice 1.8/2l Zetec somewhere around me, just need the time to start looking.
