Settled for 2 cars at the minute. Just can't decide between the two.
Ones a Corsa sport 1.4, and the others a Focus 1.6 zetec. Both around the same to insure.
Both are the same price and have similar equipment on them, similar miles and both are 3 doors.
Just want to know peoples opinions and the pros and cons of each.

I'd go for the Corsa.
The other one's a Ford.

Would have always said corsa sport. but after 2 of my mates have bought themselves 3 door focus', i say focus. To me, it feels like a much more solid, modern car

Focus is the better car - but in terms of speed there is nothing in it

I know, i was just being biased 
My sister has a 1.6 5 door Focus and i'll admit it is nice to drive and does feel solid, but for some reason i'd go for the Corsa.

Been looking and for what I want to spend these seem the best things to go for.
In all honesty im swaying towards the focus, But the sport still appeals to me quite a bit.

The simplest thing to do is drive both. The focus will feel like a more solid, well built car. But I'd still go for the Corsa as well Primarily because of the £ per bhp potential.
Edit: But I chose the middle option.

Probably go for the Focus.
Newer car, bit bigger, better mid range and a bit more practical.

Have driven both, like how the focus feels bigger, and feels more modern. Thi thing i like about the corsa is that if feels more chuckable and nippy compared to the focus.

i'd had the focus. much more ''grown up'' car.
depends what you want from a car really. neither will be quick but the corsa will be faster than the focus due to the weight difference.
