If I was buying a weekend car of these 3 would defo choose the vauxhall, but for a everyday driver. focus all the way, cheaper, parts easilly got and a nice drive. How often do people really go the track, but instead nip to the shops and go to work in their car, can see why Focus won, because as an everyday car you can enjoy it, ticks a lot of boxes.

I think for hot hatches you want good looks, speed and fun. I'd be willing to say fun takes a little bit of a back seat though as 70-80% of the time for most people you're sat in traffic or cruising along the motorway in which case the compliance and interior design become important too. I'd say the VXR covers its bases the best imo

I have owned both the ST and the Megane and I have to say that whilst the Focus is a great daily driver and fun, the Megane's overall power delivery, handling and grip is immense and so, so much more fun. both cars are great but the Megane just pips it. for me! both cars would be great second hand buys though.

I have driven all three of these cars and my experience with all these three cars, I have to say that the focus st has no turbo lag whatsoever, compared to its VXR and megan rs rivals. And overall ride quality of the focus st is a lot better than the Renault and Vauxhall. Thats presently I own a focus st.

You clearly can-t get a car of the line lol. The st is a good motor but I-ve got the vxr and can tell, even before any tuning etc, it was quicker than both them.
That Megane is useless to live with. Let-s be honest. How many of them will actually ever put rubber on a track? Pointless car

I have the Renault without the cup package and can guarantee that it's 100% useable in every day use i had a 118d BMW and i prefer driving the RS. The only downside is the fuel consumption of 12l in my case. Overall a absolutely amazing car

So Vauxhall got the handling right finally then? The older vxr range even in the vectra and zafira all had diabolical handling, yet in this review at least the newer one can use its power and corner properly.
reply

the best car depends on the driver and more importantly the owner. its like deciding between your wife and your friends wives whose is best. do you decide on who cooks the best or on who looks the best?
reply

3rd race they made the ST brake because it was beating the Vauxhall. If you want the video they didbt edit out the tire smoke from them braking
reply

--oh, I can't decide which is the best so I'll let the cars decide-
Focus sets breaks on fire.
--That's the best car-; )
