Hmm, I totally agree!

Where is the Volvo C30 & the VW scirocco? Besides that, I agree to the (most part) of the list.

Objectively speaking and as a long-time Volvo owner, I gotta say the words "hot" and Volvo can't be in the same sentence, unless it's "Look at that hot-blonde inside that Volvo".

Simply out of top 10.
It's EVO and what matters most is which are the best driver's cars.
All of the cars in that list are better driver's cars

Scirocco R is missing there, I will excuse Volvo from the party.

Watched Fith Gear's comparison test of the curren (non-premium) Hot hatch favourites and the test lead by Tiff and a rally driver seemed honestly fair and square. My money will buy the GTI, but no denying the Megane RS Cup is one hell-of-a machine. The VXR and Megane ended up fighting for 1st and 2nd spot, the Renault came out tops, deservedly so

When REAL premium comes into play and in the end it will be the ONE and only M135i for me

I tried the car on place 8 today - Peugeot 208 GTI.

Apparently its an engine by BMW in this car. 1.6 liters Turbo with 200 hp. The steering wheel is sooo tiny but steering is seriously quick and responsive but lack some real feel. Its a comfortable car, both seats and suspension. Maybe a little bit mature for my taste, I would like to have more road feel and noise when driving.
Full throttle in a corner and its like the steering locked itself in one position. Probably due of FWD and lack of limited slip differential.

Did you tried to flick it?

It's a Mini engine and they have been doing this for quite some time....

Either way, every hot hatch list where the M135i is not on the no 1 spot is an incorrect list.

What does flick mean? sounds like the swedish word for 'girl'.

 

[klier]

Something like 'turn it around'? I don't know, the grammar is a little iffy too

Suzuki swift sport ranked above the Audi A1?

 

[Zafiro]

No I didn't flick it. If I crash with a dealer car I'll be broke for the rest of my life. LOL.

Of course! It has better steering feel and is 3 times cheaper
