Hot Hatches

1: Seat Leon 20V T Cupra (2000-2004)

2: Ford Focus ST170 (2002-2005)
3: Renault Clio RenaultSport 172/182 (2001-2003; 2003-2006)

4: Skoda Octavia vRS (2001-2005)

5: Peugeot 206 GTi 180 (2003-2006)

6: Vauxhall Astra GSi Turbo (1999-2004)

7: Volkswagen Golf GTI/V5/V6 4Motion (2002-2004)

8: Citroen C4 2.0 VTS (2005-)

9: Honda Civic Type-R (2001-2006)

10: Saab 9-3 (1998-2002)

Having the vRS, 206 GTi and C4 VTS above the Civic Type-R is a joke.

Missing the 106 and 306 GTi, Saxo VTS, Cooper S and even the Punto Sporting is better than half that list.

And what the f**k is the Saab 9-3 doing in that list???

futur cars: audi A5 looks pretty good i think?

 

[Griff]

HAHAHAHA did they get the office junior to compile that list?

The 206 GTI four places ahead of the Type R!?!!?!?

That list is very messed up, defo not how I'd place it.

The ST170 is not a hot hatch, they are nice enough, and you can get them very well specced, but it's still only warm.

 

[Giles]

ST170 is a nice car

 

[Munson]

That list is compiled for a joke.

 

[markclio2007]

Gotta be its crap

 

[clio172cup20]

Surly 172 cup would be first.

 

[markclio2007]

Forget the list, the review of the 182 cup had some good points:

"...the ride's firmer than some drivers will expect, but the result is that the body feels tied to the road, there's little roll and the car's brilliantly controlled over crests, dips and bumps. It's certainly the best-driving hot hatchback you can buy today, and one of the keenest driver's hatchbacks ever."

"You lose some equipment in the process, such as automatic xenon headlamps and wipers, multi-disc CD, fully-automatic climate-control and leather/alcantara trim, but the payback is one of the hottest hatchbacks of all time."

"The rest of the Cup driving experience is similarly exhilarating. The steering's extremely responsive..."

"...and the pay-off is great feel and feedback for a modern hatchback."
