Is the Golf better than the Focus?
Is a Volkswagen Golf better than a Ford Focus ghia
Our answer:
Hi Deirdre,
Better? Not necessarily... The Golf is roomier and arguably better built, the Focus more affordable (fractionally) and better to drive. Both are about as reliable as one another. Personally I'd prefer the Golf but it's not up to me...
