Why do they never compare the Audi S3 to the Ford Focus RS?? That is THE ONLY comparison you can have to this car, with regards to performance times and price difference…

I would have to give it to the RS, simply because Ford had to guts to put 300 horses through the front wheels and make it controlable. I feel the Golf good as it is just doesn’t have the same level of excitement about it, plus it’s become too commonand just as Chavy.

Renault 5 Turbo was original hot hatch.

The top 2009 RS followed by the R32

Engine noise is the key

And you cannot ignore the Civic from the CRX to 2007 but feel free to ignore the latest type-r pmsl

I like all hot hatches, but my true love is the Escort Cosworth.

And besides there are very few “real” hot hatches any more.

Real hot hatches are tiny cars with about 100bhp, not much I know, but it was all about power-to-weight.

And then there were always the lairy models, Pug T16, XR2 Turbo technics, Metro R64, ANY of the evolution models.

Ahhh… bring back the 80’s hatches!

Like I said, early or late Mk Golf GTI, maybe a Scirocco or Corrado if you want a more exotic feel, they’re still hatches.
