By far the Focus RS. Bonkers, it comes in green, and it makes a top notch soundtrack whereas the Golf is incredibly clinical and in terms of its performance it ain't worth the money. Not by a long shot.
 
Any 5 cars vs Perfect World - I will be that guy and choose the 5 cars. In my opinion, the World is managing just fine at the moment. I will not get into a political debate with anyone, so please don't call me on this, but this is my choice and here are my cars!

Stupid, old hatchbacks - Nope, not choosing. There is nothing anyone can do to make me drive one of those, let alone buy one with my own money. I would not even take one for free.

Golf R vs Focus RS - I like anything that is modest or classy, as long as it has potential. For example, the Mercedes C63 AMG, one of my favourite cars; it looks classy and gorgeous, while having an engine that can tip elephants - that's brilliant. Now, the Golf has a degree of elegance, but not enough to make me want to wear a suit or anything classy while driving it; it's still just a hatchback in my opinion. So, if I'm to drive a hatchback, it has to be a hatch that captures the essence of tiny, hatchback cars: the Focus! The Focus is FWD, so it's harder to crash and you can feel the power more, as well as being able to throw the car around more. It feels... fun, and that's what I want in a hatch. I choose the Focus RS.

1. Focus RS

My answer is still the same, but I had to think about it longer. Ending cancer is what made me think a bit more, but like I said, my answer does not change.
 
If I remember correctly, this was supposed to be a comparison between two CARS...

Previous two: What ARE those things? I'll take the red one because it has a cool stripe down the side.
 
Call yourself car enthusiasts and yet you don't recognise an NSU Ro 80? I knew what one of those was when I was 3!


Never was into rotary engines and going to bet there is not a single one in NM...I bet there is only a handful in the USA as a whole.

End Cancer once in for all. Of course, if you read the OP; I'm pretty sure it says the options both have to be cars.

Daf 66 vs NSU Ro 80; The Daf, because I prefer the look of it. Although, I knew a bit about NSU, but never heard of Daf. I probably never would drive either though.
 
Option 1 because I'm selfish :P Hatchback Volvo because it looks better. Golf because in my opinion you can't beat German precision and build quality, it's worth every penny if you ask me. McLaren as I love them. 5 cars again because I'm selfish. Daf because it looks better in my opinion and you could say to your friends I have a Daf :lol:

Your choice of any 5 cars ever made (List the cars w/ pictures)

OR

World Peace, HIV Eradicated, No More World Hunger, Cancer Cured & Animals made extinct by human actions brought back to life at a level that would allow them to sustain life for a long time

The cars can wait. I'll try to help out charities and scientists to bring the world to better standards. When I become a hero along with the others, I want the cars for free! For my reward that is. :D 👍

Tough! You got me here Bodyguard. Ummm, I'll take the C63 since it's a versatile car and second will be the 200SX for a pure drift car.

End world hunger.

Daf 66

or

NSU Ro 80

I'm don't know these cars, since I have never seen them before, but I'll take the NSU, because rotary.
 
Old Volvos: I'll have the 480. The 340 is dreadful.

Golf R vs Focus: I'll take the RS because it's simply mad.

Unknown cars: I may as well have the Daf.
 
Hows this?

Volkswagen Golf R MK6.

Or,

Volkswagen Golf GTi MK7 W/ the Performance Pack.

2014-VW-Golf-GTI-1.jpg


Hmm. I'd have the MK6, as it's more usable because of it's 4WD.
 
GTi because it's newer, better looking and more fun and I'll have it with a manual gearbox please.

I'll have the R with a DSG since it's one of the fastest hot hatches money can buy.
 
Golf VI vs Golf VII - I will take the current Golf VI, because I quite like the idea of a 4WD hatch. Also, I hate the rims on the VII.

1. Golf VI
2. Golf VII

Also, just to reiterate, I did not post a comparo. The 5 cars that I posted have wildly different price ranges and so would not make a good comparison, I was simply posting pictures of my 5 cars that I would choose. If you read the past comparisons, 2 of them ask you to pick 5 cars (with pictures) or something else, I was providing the pictures. Sorry for any confusion.
