I just picked up my 54 plate Honda Civic Type R and to be honest I am really impressed. I did consider both of the above but decided I didnt want a turbo'd car as my every day motor and when spending Ł17-Ł19k really wanted a brand new car. Go give the Type R a test Drive

I'd go with the Focus but only cos I'm Ford biased. I love the way they drive and handle.

The Type R seems to be getting ever popular as a good revy n/a everyday car.

I think thats one of the reasons ive not looked at the type r before, there nearly as popular as saxo's ive not had the chance to go out in one tho so it might be worth driving one before i give too many opinions on it

test drove a type R the other with a mate - was very impressed by what it is!

also had a look round a cupra R at jct28 the other day. not a bad car for the money they were asking IMO!

go for the focus RS.

would hold its value in the future too. as they only made a limited amount.

Everyone has Ford blinkers on again. Given where we are it's not surprising really.

Fiesta ST 150, type R civic, Renault Megane 225

Would have the Focus RS over the Cupra, but think the cupra would make a better everyday car.
