Welcome to the hot hatch showdown of the year. After months of anticipation, the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Renaultsport Clio 200 have all landed on British soil. And we’ve put them to the test on the road and at the challenging Anglesey Circuit in North Wales to find out which one takes the pocket rocket prize.
The long-awaited Fiesta ST is the cheapest of the trio, while Peugeot hopes its stylish 208 GTi will reignite the excitement of its eighties performance icon, the 205 GTi.
Completing our line-up is the Renaultsport Clio 200. This ditches the hardcore character of its predecessor in favour of a more hi-tech approach – it’s the only car here to feature a paddleshift gearbox and pre-programmed driving modes.
All three are powered by 1.6-litre turbocharged engines and produce close to 200bhp, so this is sure to be a close battle. But which of our contenders will emerge triumphant?
