Hot Hatches.. - Page 2

I drive a Honda Civic Type-R which is awesome. 200bhp and 148mph...yummy. The recaro seats hold you without being restrictive although the Bridgestone P0's give a rather harsh and noisy ride, especially when you get stuck in the lorry tyre grooves

The looks are possibly a bit too understated and subtle (it really doesn't look that much different from a base model 3 door). But as far as I know the engine and chassis are quite well matched and it's not a bad package. Unfortunatly for Vauxhall the competition still have the edge (Civic type R, Seat Leon Cupra R, Focus ST170).

(I left the RS Focus out of that list because that's aimed at the 'hardcore' driver market not the 'hot hatch' customers)

hello,

I'm new on the board, i'm from Holland and a very regular LeMans visitor and other races in Europe.I saw this thread of 'Hot Hatches' and thought, maybe it's nice to show you my hot hatch. When everything with registering worked out properly, my specs. of the car are at the bottom. I know not everybody is pleased with this carbrand, but for me only Italian cars count. My next car will be a fast one too, as long as it's Italian.

Ain't been a hot hatch worth having since the Sunbeam 1.6ti, with the possibile exception of the Twin Cam RWD Corrolla. Why? Cause they're all driven from the wrong end! Fast they may be, but fun? Nah!!!
