buy a cheap subaru, u can get decent wrx's for very little.

danneth

you not thinking so is just an opinion the fact the said car was quicker round bedford then the r26r shows it has the performance as for what the worlds motoring press say?? heres a little snippet from top gear

"Yes there's understeer, but on the open road you won't be going quick enough for that. And I'd wager this thing would be as much fun, and as quick, as a Ford Focus RS.

this is certainly the hot hatch for you - nothing else will come close to it on a circuit"





hope this helps

I dont give a fuck about a circuit car, if i did i'd buy a purpose built track car like a westy, not some lardy wobbly shopping hatch with stiffer springs

I would still prefer the megane for the blast down my favourite road as it has torque and is light

HTH

danneth

its not a circuit car? its a hot hatch as thats what this thread was about now your mentioning westys etc

It's Czech Mate

YOU mentioned circuits in vindication of some Honda

I dont care how good a car is on a circuit, if I did I'd have a circuit car, I care about how good they are on the road.....can you not read?

danneth

ye about that reading bit if you care to read i was quoting top gear

It's Czech Mate

You're such a Honda fanboy ........why did you quote the bit about circuits if it wasnt relevant? I tell you again I never mentioned circuits to begin with you did

danneth

"neither does any of the worlds motoring press" - i just wanted to prove you wrong, i never mentioned circuits just quoted a part of there review...

so after all that i was still right and you was wrong

Top Gear = Motoring Press = FAIL



Even if that Honda was the best hatch ever, it doesnt take away that 95% of Honda's hatches are as dull as shit, the DNA doesnt extend down the range, not like with other manufacturers. IMO

I reckon Peugeot have had a tremendous history with hot hatch's until recent years. The 306 GTi-6 being pretty much the last hot hatch they produced of any note.

danneth

this isn't about the rest of the range though is it, once again its about one car now you start mentioning the whole range

and yes i would class the top gear magazine as motoring press

yes it is. the thread is manufactures as a whole. so the whole range.

The French have to be high up the list. I've driven a 1.9 205 GTi and it was awesome as was the Clio Williams. Clio 172 Cup was wicked fun for a factory car as well.

danneth

i didn't know manufactures currently made more then 1/2 hot hatches, feel free to tell me the best all rounder was something from the 90's

for 2 or 3K then you would struggle to get anything other than 90s. i dont really understrand ur post but ford currently make more than 2 hot hatches, so do vhauxhall, VW infact i can think of more that do than dont.

I have to agree there..... the mk3 wasn't good.... and that's why nearly everyone that has one now doesn't run standard suspension... unless you love standard.

Both the Zetec S/TDCI and ST versions of the MK6 handle brilliantly, never had as much fun. I think a lot of it in the Mk6 is to do with the driving position too... Ford got it right with this one.
