As most of you know, Whitey's gone off to pastures new now in favour of me sourcing a diesel run-around/motorway cruiser.
I was pretty set on getting a Golf TDi (pd 130 engine), but the 2L (136hp) TDCi Focus has also caught my eye, especially in Ghia or Titanium spec' (if money allows).
I've never owned either cars before, and the only experience of VW & Ford diesels that I have is from an 02 plate Passat (company car back in the day), and a drive or 3 of a couple of the company's Mondeo's in recent times.
So to get to the point
has anyone owned/have experience of said cars, and care to share their opinions of them please. From a daily use point of view, motorway comfort, creature comforts in general, mpg, handling, etc etc.
Please don't turn this into a 'Have you thought of 'X' instead' thread, as it's taken long enough for me to narrow it down to either an oil-burning Golf or Focus!
Cheers.
