I also had a test drive of the FSI auto (was ok), 1.9L TDI manual (the torque was amazing), and finally the Polo GTI (wow!! I value my licence though, too much fun!)
Obviously I can't make any decsions until I test drive the Focus as well, just thought there would be a few people out there who have test-driven both and would like to contribute.

Personally, If Ford had a TDI Focus, it would be a no brainer.... If you did a LOT of KM the TDI Golf would be better than Petrol Focus.... Build Quality may be better than Focus long term too.
But if you want to enjoy the car for "weekend" drives, well then i would suggest going for the Focus.
The Focus hatch has heaps more usable capacity than the Golf as well.... Couldnt fit pram in Golf, but could in Focus quite easily.
