Your description method is more than presenting a car, you should be professors. Honestly very good 👍 I watch carwow since 2016 every car you advertising has got unique description.

Having driven both the focus and the golf, take them for some cornering.. The golf is pretty good, but hands down the focus will run rings around it. For me, i taken the focus. It was so much better at driver feel and can throw it about a lot better than the golf.. Plus the golf broke down twice in the 2 week test drive. They're not very reliable. I've never had an issue with the focus 18 month in now. Never asked for a thing apart from the regular service. And I have abused it.

A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a new company estate car every 6 months. I had BMW, Audi, Volvo, VW, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault and Skoda. The Skoda beat all except the BMW which was a 330d M Sport and a very nice car. I had the Audi ( A4 S-Line ) replace one of my Octavia and I was gutted. As I have 3 young children my daily driver is now a Transporter T6, when they are out of their car seats the Octavia VRS May be my next car, or I may try the Superb as that is supposed to be awesome. You can’t get better than being prepared to put your own money down on a vehicle, I can’t recommend the Skoda enough. ( the first time I attended a site in my first Octavia, a sub contractor who drove an M5 as his company car, took a look and went straight to his local VAG Group and ordered an VRS straight away ).

19" alloys for the Octavia vs. 18" for the Golf. Not a minor difference I should say.

Put some 18" Oz Alleggeritas on the Octavia and the Golf is bye-bye ;)

The manual would certainly loose. What’s strange though is the australian video mag where they tested the automatic and manual they for the best run got a 13.9s. So why is it so slow here? They did however say you had to ”soft” press the throttle at start to have less wheel spin and get best speed. Either way, they got several low 14.xs runs before the 13.9s. I would guess this result has to do with gear box tuning. The Focus seems pretty fast in the first three gears, then gears become too long and it looses to the VAG cars. It only has 6 gears available in Sport/Track mode seventh is disabled btw.

VW has been underrating their house figures since the MK4 Gens, clearly they make way more power than advertised Plus it pulls way harder up top than the focus, because turbo is bigger, just defined from the factory

Battle of the VQ’s! 350z, 370z, G35, G37

I think the manual focus would do better on the top end than the auto focus

@@pinobrozic1 all automatic. It's not possible to make it more even. Focus is also more powerful. The fact is simply that the focus gearbox is bad.

I'd love to know how the manual ST would hold up, got a feeling like the awful auto is eating all the torque.

Could be, but then you introduce the variable of a person shifting. My guess would be a similar result ('15 FoST owner here).

The cars should have the same type and level of fuel otherwise is pointless. Breaking distance can be measured with vbox & then would be fair...

Has the Mt ford has a real Launchcontrol with tireslip also controlled? There are often rev holder advertised as LC.

Interestingly, Autocar tested the new BMW 128Ti v Renault Megane RS300 v the Ford ST. In all cross country driving scenarios, the ST was a convincing and clear winner. It had also beaten the Golf GTi previously.

Looks like theres something wrong with that ST or is it just me?

I have seen a manual ST go below 14 seconds. so yeah there is that.

You should try a Evo 10 vs Subaru STI vs GTR vs Supra drag race :D

You should do a race with all the VW golf R's or GTI's from 1 to 8

The Skoda could be a perfect sleeper if you got it tuned as it's capable in stock sharing the GTI platform but with a tune not many people would expect it too be so quick

I would love to see these cars on the dyno! Feels strange that the two 245hp beat the 280hp.... Only explanation is the poorer efficiency of the torque converter (?)

Hi Mat, could you do a drag race of all the f series m power cars

Gti didn’t take forever to kick down mat literally presses the gas pedal a half second after he himself says go lol

I'd have the golf all day 2 door though!

@carwow can the next drag race feature a G63, BMW X5 M Competition and a Jeep Trackhawk

I would have the vrs in the estate. Would love to see a octavia vrs ony drag race from mk1 to mk4

Matt is too funny, love that carwow is a relaxed business and lets him give it a nice personality

You can actually bypass the soft limiter with a simple dsg trick and there is a video on YT which shows the method (works for manuals too).

Skoda looks awesome plus it’s practical golf has the best performance, but I would take the focus for the manual box, and the overall handling.

Front of the Golf looks so weird man, can't get used to it
