Without a doubt the finest hot hatch of all time is the one that came first, in the 1960s, the mini cooper S radford de ville




Would fucking LOVE to own one of the few remaining ones of these.

Look at the picture a bit more carefully mate.

The mini was ALSO a saloon, not only a saloon
(bit like the orion and the escort 1600i you think of when you masturbate each night mate )

Never seen the hatch before so I'm owed a

Nothing like the orion and escort as they have different names and a different shape you blind git! One has a huge boot sticking out!

Besides when i go to bed i get my fiance to masturbate for me whilst your missis is doing her homework or ironing her school uniform

Sadly my mrs is now 24

It does have a different name, its called the radford de ville, but even if it wasnt that doesnt make any difference to if its a hatch or not, the cavalier saloon and cavalier hatch look almost identical just like the mini variants and have only the name "cavalier" too.

the porsche 928 is a hatch but maybe not classes as a hot hatch so i'll have to say a Chevette HSR, 2.3 16v cosworth built engine before they went to the dark side and started fitting hair driers to make a car go fast!!!

I always liked R5 GT Turbo's, Uno Turbo's, 25 GTi 1.9's and of course RST's.
I prefered the RST due to potential and the rest is history
