Which car should I buy? And why?

I'm looking to get a new car but can't decide between a Honda Civic Si or a Ford Focus ST both 2016.

The Ford with it's turbo engine is slightly faster.(~25% more horse power)

The Honda will likely be more reliable, smoother and a nicer ride.

Both are good cars, hence your dilemma.

For performance, the Focus, as a nice driving car for your commute or road trips, the Honda. The 2016 Civic doesn't exist yet but if you want something more fun than a hatchback maybe try test driving a new miata? I don't know what civic your talking about but if you want to wait half a year for a Type R or the new 2016 reworked civic then go ahead since that might be what ill end up doing, however go test drive some cars, especially the miata. That is probably the most fun I had driving ever. Practical? LOL NO, fun? Probably the most ill ever have. Hi think you have to be dreaming. The Honda might not be as fast as a Ford focus ST.
however it will last longer and be a lot less trouble to maintain.
