Hot Hatch Poll, 2010!

dhrishikesh · 9th November 2010, 21:59

I will vote for Renault Sport Megane Cup 250 (in the same metallic golden color) as its looks much better than all other competitors in the race & has also shown very good performance.

I will take the Alfa Giuleitta and thats because it looks so darn good!

For a hot hatch i will pick a Lancia Delta Integrale!

theexperthand · 10th November 2010, 15:01

I will take the Subaru Impreza Cosworth - untamed and raw. The understated but seriously fast street car. And yeah, I will take mine in that awesome shade of dark grey.

I particularly like the rear end of the Focus otherwise Impreza too looks great.

A RenaultSport Megane Cup250 in Yellow for me!

What I wouldn't give to have the Subaru Impreza in India.
Prime Rival for the Mitsubishi Evo X, but should be a lot cheaper.
(in the UK, i thinks its around 7000 pounds less than an Evo)

Ford Focus RS500 or even the regular RS would do for me! Looks fast,is fast and is practical!
And i think Ford Focus RS500 is also the fastest front wheel drive car in the world, with the 100 in 5.6sec!

That is blisteringly quick for stock FF car!

YouTube - Fifth Gear: Mitsubish Evo X vs Ford Focus Rs

the regular Rs is almost as fast as the EVO X around the fifth gear track!

For me, it has to be the Golf GTI - awesome power, economical to run, and highly practical.
If I add design/looks into the equation, nothing beyond the Alfa Giulietta! A stunner indeed, and I reckon this model can really resurrect Alfa's sales figures.

I went for VW Golf R . I do not know why there arent much votes for this car .
4 Wheel drive , planted around corners and the practicality of Golf !
Looks , well no different answers on this respect .

TopGear UK recently did a cover on hot hatches. The link to the teaser video:

What's the background score? Its really the type of song that makes you want to put your feet down on the gas pedal!

I'll take a Ford Focus RS in dark grey and a rally-bred Subaru Impreza in the same colour

I chose Ford Focus RS500 because of its sheer pickup..

ntrack · 15th November 2010, 15:15

The Fiat 500 Abarth has to be the Hottest. The smallest car with 160 bhp is a handful.
I also love the Ford Focus & Subaru Impreza.

MaserQ · 15th November 2010, 19:22

All drool worthy cars! The Alfa Giulietta Cloverleaf in scarlet red please! Looks stunning and goes like stink. The VW Scirocco R would be a close second for its understated aggression.

We need more of them in India! The Fiat Palio 1.6 S comes to mind, as does the Getz CRDe, even though it did not look the part. There is potential in the upcoming Fiesta hatch. Give it stiff springs, a neat body kit and re-work the gearing a bit, and yes the Fiesta S does sound good!

Subaru Impreza Cosworth. 395 BHP and a 0-100 in 3.x sec! If the fun of driving a family sedan Subaru legacy is anything to go by, this should be fun - 10 times more fun. I mean if they can make a family car fun, this may be seriously good.
