hence why i stated the pedestrian looks of the tdi as much as i love the mpg its just so ehh looking, the GTI is better but not as cool looking as the Focus especially ST garb
Get either VW Golf. I promise you, you will NOT regret it.
Golf's are the GREATEST cars in my opinion when it comes to 'normal' cars. It feels like a Mercedes on the inside (can even drive like one as well if you get the right model), and you get real QUALITY and fuel efficiency.
