The Ford Focus 2017 model comes with an aggressive, athletic design that truly stands out.

It is a combination of modern styling with inspiration from previous generation models. But unlike its older brothers, the 2017 Golf has a sportier stance and low-slung look. Both cars, can be had with 18-inch wheels standard which add to the sporty appeal. But for style points, the Focus wins this, hands down.
