what previous hot hatches have you had??

Oh ok here we go:

MG Metro...
Corsa SRi -what can I sat it came with free insurance
205 1.6 GTi - scary lift off oversteer
306 GTi-6 - my first truly exceptional car, many laps of the 'ring, if only Go Pro cameras had been invented then
SEAT Leon Cupra - cheap and masses of performance
SEAT Leon Cupra R - Revo'd this was a real missile
Honda Civic Type R - one trick pony, got bored very quickly
Suzuki Ignis Sport -(just about a hot hatch) daily driver alongside a crazy Scooby
---- from here in the list you can see all of these on various track outings too------
Ford Fiesta ST - daily driver alongside a 200bhp Westfield with the same engine, surprisingly good car.
Mini Cooper S - daily driver alongside a 400bhp Evo IX
Renault Megane R26.R - the GT3RS for the rest of us, possibly the best hot hatchback of all time (to date)?
Audi RS3 - or Impreza for grown ups as I call it.

Just 4 here,

Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6 (Faded black)
Mark 3 Golf GTI 8v (Dragon Green)
Mark 1 Fabia vRS (Black magic)
8p3 S3 3 door(Phantom Black)

The G60 was great, lots of low down grunt.

VR6 was quicker and made a lovely noise.
Nearly bought another one a few weeks back. Ended up with a VR converted MK2 Golf so still get the noise

Previously I was a Ford and Vauxhall girl, but never really went down the hot hatch route, well not proper hot hatch.

I've have
Escort XR3i's
Escort RS Turbos
Calibra's
An Astra coupe

but no Nova's or Saxo's etc although I did always want a Nova GTE when I was younger

I'm on to my 45th car in 10 years of driving but only a handful of hot hatches

by far the best ones I've had were the honda crx! Had 5 of them now with the best and most fun being the b20 vtec which I built from scratch and spent far too much money on lol

some may not be classed as hot hatches but here's the ones I can think of

honda crx x5
honda civic coupe x3
honda civic ef hatch
honda integra b18c4 turbo
rover 220 coupe turbo x2
rover 216 coupe with honda engine x2
impreza wrx, biggest regret of my car history, terrible cars
honda s2000 which I still have, brilliant car!

incase you didn't realise I'm a big fan of the Hondas, especially the ones from the late 80's early 90's, they went all soft and slow after that and the ep3 type r was a huge disappointment
