buy nearly new and get a ST3

I've rented a focus and own an Astra (both current models, but neither the high-performance versions).
Looks-wise and handling wise I would go for the Astra. I hired a Focus and an Astra from Enterprise a year ago within a few months of each other and found the Astra to be a very solid, well performing car. On the strength of that, I bought one.
Also, the Focus has been around longer, meaning that you are more likely to be driving an out of date car sooner. The Astra on the other hand has just been given a minor facelift and is around until at least 2009. You'll be driving a current model for longer!
Hope this helps, but whichever you get - enjoy! They're both great cars!

Def the astra. looks loads better. The focus looks too much like any other model, can't say that about the astra.
Besides which in Top Gear magazine with the Stig. The astra was quicker round the track anyway!!

I'd get the Astra. The Focus is cosmetically dull.

-----"Consumer Reports" Magazine has many articles comparing the different cars in an objective, non-biased manner. Their April issue--just out--is their "Annual Auto Issue"; the entire April magazine is about cars. Most libraries carry that magazine; most news stands do also.---Jim

Astra.
They're both chavs cars, though. I'd get a Civic Type R. Less power, true, but just as much fun and more classy.
