Because tipping the golf into a corner opened up worlds of body roll i haven't experienced since i was a passenger in the previous model land rover discovery. it's tyres sqealed like a $2 whore, and the interior cabin/boot space was inferior to that of the Focus. for long distance it makes sense, nice comfy ride and so on.. but even bearing that in mind i would still take a focus. or pretty much anything else that isn't a golf.

My preference would be for an Accord Euro. Having been a passenger in a few of these, i have been very, very impressed by them. great to look at, excellent to drive from all reports, gorgeous seats and a top notch stereo, with very little intrusive cabin noise.

ticks all the boxes for me

The 2.0 FSI & 2.0 TDI handle ALOT better then the 1.6 & 1.9 TDI. The 1.6 & 1.9 TDI are the poverty pack Golfs, while the 2.0 FSI & 2.0 TDI are the premium ones.
