Going to buy either a 2017 Focus ST or 2017 GTI (manual). The pictures accurately represent colors/wheels.
ST pros:
- More HP and torque
- Looks nicer (imo)
- About $7k cheaper
- Less expensive to repair
ST cons:
- Not german engineering
- Lower resale value
- Probably less reliable
GTI pros:
- German engineering
- More sophisticated (imo)
- Better quality interior
- Probably more reliable
GTI cons:
- More expensive
- 2018 model is the facelift and the LED tails + updated interior will make the 2017 look outdated quickly
Did I miss anything?
the ferd will fall apart faster, the vw will have electrical problems as it ages

>German engineering
damn son, how do you fall for marketing this hard?
what the germans call engineering, the japanese call bloated and the americans call needlessly expensive.
the gti also has crank walk motor failures, brand new cars with the motors failing

>not german engineering
Ford's European department is based in Cologne if I am not mistaken.

Okay man, I was semi joking but are you absolutely sure you can afford that over the span of 5 years?
>>17783244
450? isn't that a lot if you're putting down 15k on a sub 30k car?
Unless you're including insurance in that.
15k down on a 30k car will give you about a $280 per month car payment.

Also, if i'm not mistaken, I believe the GTI is fitted with a limited slip diff.
