    Mk 3 Focus ST alternatives

    Thanks all, I'll have to look into the leon again. When i originally looked (albeit briefly at a parked one in my company's car park) it didnt look much bigger than a fiesta. I think the 1 series' are too small. I need a boot big enough for prams/ baby things but also for golf holidays so a...

    Mk 3 Focus ST alternatives

    Thanks, preference is petrol. I was looking at focus sized cars rather than saloons. I currently have an octavia but want something that can be a bit more fun to drive. Fiesta, polos etc are too small so want somewhere inbetween. As mentioned the leon cupra is a bit small
