2018 Golf vs Focus vs Mazda3

The 2018 VW Golf vs. The Focus & Mazda3

OpenRoad Volkswagen pits the 2018 VW Golf against its main rivals, the 2018 Ford Focus and 2018 Mazda3 Sport in a battle for hatchback supremacy!

With their ability to swallow copious amounts of people and cargo for those long road trips while still having fun on our curvy back roads means cars like the Golf, Focus, and Mazda3 Sport are increasing in popularity. Add to that the fact that they’re also inexpensive to purchase, use a minimal amount of fuel, are graced with chic styling, and you have a winning combination on your hands!

But which one of these hatchbacks is the best? OpenRoad Volkswagen has pitted the perennial favourite – the VW Golf – against the latest metal from rivals Ford and Mazda. Lets see which hatch ends up on top!

Summary

In the end, all three hatchbacks make a good case for themselves, but it’s the 2018 Volkswagen Golf that wins this head-to-head (to head). Its combination of a more powerful, yet still fuel efficient, engine, superior cargo space, and long list of standard equipment means it’s a better value than anything else on the road.
