Right. I'm having a new car dilemma. So what's best to do...ask the Mrs opinion. Work mates. Lads up the pub. No I wanted a sensible answer so I'm here.
I'm looking at getting a new car. Has to be new and will be part ex of my car. Total value about £25000. And nothing too silly to run..
No real requirements other than fun and looks good.
Don't flame me too quick but at the moment I'm down to the following two options.

Ford Focus ST-3 in either blue or white.
or
new Skoda Octavia VRS in blue with a few options.

Any ideas or opinions and ideas on what I should be getting on a PCP would be good.

Those grey seats in the VRS look stupid imo, and they're what put me off one the most.

GTI and A3 are a winner. But by the time you stick a few options on to come up on par with the Skoda and Focus they are a little pricey...

I hear what you're saying BUT, a Skoda or a VW? Tricky one that smile

I have a Focus ST-3 (the last model) and I would get the new Astra VXR over the new Focus as it looks much better, and maybe slightly quicker, plus the Ford to have is the cheaper Fiesta ST by all accounts.
A Golf GTI would be a good shout.
