Hey, /o/
I'm trying to decide which hot hatchback to go for. Seeing as how new models are coming in soon, pricing is pretty competitive right now so I figured it was a good time to buy.
One thing to note is that I've got about 30k saved, but I really don't want to pay over 20k for either of these cars. I figure the new models coming in soon, and having some decent purchasing power as far as down payments, I should be getting a decent deal.
Which is the best value?
Focus RS ST1 (base)
or
Golf GTI S
The focus has more power, but the Golf has more features. Having a hard time deciding on this one.
I live in TX so these are the cargurus searches I've set up:

A 2006 Canyon that I'll be passing on to my sibling. It's in the 130k range as far as mileage and the fuel economy is definitely not the best.
I've owned an Eclipse GST before my dad passed the truck on to me, and I really enjoyed it. I want to buy a similar car for my first new purchase.

There's three "levels" to the ST trim. Nothing mechanical, just amenities.

>Fiesta ST>Focus ST
I would consider a FiST but I am too fucking big for one.

except you're wrong.

"but muh go kart handling"
Too bad the focus out handles it too.
Fiesta fags are fucking cancer to the ST world

>>17278591
Yeah except you called it an RS ST1
there isn't an "RS ST1" you dolt that is my point and considering you couldnt derive that from the post you should probably get the volkswagen because you're suitably retarded for it.

I was in the middle of watching that Motor Trend ep of the RS vs the R. Calm the fuck down, you know what I meant.

Focus interior is shit, but i would still take it over any vw garbage

GTI.
If you want to mod, get the performance pack with the performance pack that has an LSD. Just an APR tune on a GTI will outrun a fully bolted/tuned Focus ST.
