golf R (advice)

You will be glad to know that I did modify my petrol lawn mower and it's much better now :p

The Focus RS wins with the sound of the 5 pot anyday. The Golf R wins on reliability and ability to use day in and day out in all weather conditions. I'd pick the VW over the Focus myself tbh as it's a bit more modern and easy to live with. Plus oem parts are cheap as and very easily got.
The mark 2 is the 5 pot mark 3 has inferior engine (4 pot but loads of torque) but is awd and a hoot to drive under the right conditions
 
I had a 2016 mk7 R DSG and couldn't fault. I travelled for a good while with work so sold it. I's buy one again tomorrow if i could. if anything id say they are a little understated in the looks, i think the GTI looks better sometimes but its all personal preference. I liked the understated look as ya don't get too much notice when driving it. I also liked that i could get 40mpg on eco mode when driving normal. 100% the R is a good car for me. Don't be believing all the wanna be top gear pundits on youtube about boring handling etc. best of luck with whatever ya decide
