Ford Focus RS vs Audi RS3 vs Volkswagen Golf R review

No surprise the Focus comes out on top.
Wonder whether it will be as good as the M2 in terms of fun factor - but for about £15K less?

Hmmmm, big problem with the RS's boot space.

Due to the 4WD its 260 litres, which is less than a Ford Fiesta, apparently!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd still buy the golf. The fact the others only come with 5 doors rules them out for me.

And under the new VED rules only £140 pa ( I think) as opposed to £450 pa as its under £40k.

Looking tempting.
