Ford has sold more than 1.3 million Focuses since the original arrived in 1998, So there is an awful lot resting on the shoulders of this new version. To put it under even more pressure we are going to see how it compares to its main rivals, the Vauxhall Astra and the VW Golf.

  • Quality, refinement and desirability are not tangible qualities compared to drive ability. So Ford wins.

  • That's a very good new Focus, I just was surprised by the bad quality of the internal finishes, but IMO its not so important at all, but I'm crazy for this Astra, it's just pretty good looking. The most awesome design!

  • vw golf! 

  • Golf is Bullshit ....

  • Ford with the Focus is my pick

  • From base model point of view, I would definitely go with the Focus. However, as you climb the food chain, the Golf becomes my pick.

  • Ford wins

  • Hard plastic? Come on, the interior is great on the Focus!

  • I will go with Astra-Focus then Golf

  • Not to nit-pick. But the Focus has a Cargo Volume of 674 liters versus the Golf's 413 liters. In case there some differences between the NA and UK models.
