Buying a fast estate - Octavia vRS or Focus ST?
Which petrol estate is better - a Skoda Octavia vRS or a Ford Focus ST? Also after I buy one of them would it be worth putting a chip to get more PS and torque?

The Focus has 30PS more so is quicker. However, a SEAT Leon ST Cupra has 60PS more so is quicker still. Chipping voids the warranty and increases the insurance so isn't particularly cost effective.
