mg metro for one!

 

[jonnyboy]

yeah mg metro,mg maestro, Escort RS turbos (old shape ones) just think they are cack, Not a fan of the new MG range either, purely cos rover have wasted a perfect opportunity to produce a range of truly sporting motors by just fitting spoilers to rovers and giving them a paint job.

Controvesial I know, but I dislike most of the new "mega hatches" like the Golf R32 (or any recent "hot" Golf for that matter). Massive headline power figures coupled with pretty remote handling and geeky add-ons.

Only the 172, Cup and VTS/106 GTi keep it real.

 

[Martin172]

Mini Cooper - lets just clarify to those ignorant general public who Ive heard call it a hot hatch - it isnt!!

The Cooper S is a warm-hot hatch, with the Cooper s works, or the Cooper S Hartge being a hot-scorching hatch!!!

r u having a laugh bout the Saxo VTS. It is a stonka for a 1.6 engine plus the handling on both the VTS and VTR is brilliant. It beats my clio for handling

 

[SAX_MAN]

Novas Corsas Polos Golfs and Fiats!

I would even prefer a Citroen Visa GTi to any of those!
