I would like to buy one of these next year but I can't make my mind up! I own a Honda at the moment (not the new shape) and always wanted to have a type-R. However the Type-R has been around for a while now and it doesn't have a lot of torque which means i'd have to rev the nuts of it to get the most out of it! I know Honda is extremely reliable so maybe it can take the punishment! but i've also began to like the Ford Focus ST. The problem is, is Ford as reliable as Honda? I know the ST is faster but does that make it a better car overall? I like the looks of the Focus and in my opinion it looks a bit more modern compared to the Honda. Also I've read that the suspension is not so hard on the ST as it is on Type-R. What would your choice be out of these 2 cars? What is the running cost on both cars?
