HOT HATCHES are amazing now. But.
Discussion
I'd say something like the original Mini Cooper s, or some 80s hot hatch like the ones stated above. Yes some new hot hatches are immensely fast, but they're too refined and driver too cosseted to make them feel as fast as they actually are. Older ones with less sound proofing, thinner doors etc feel more thrilling and faster even if they aren't.
are you talking about the best performance outright, or best performance for the money, there are a generation of 300hp+ hot hatches now which sort of make comparisons to anything else fairly pointless.
But at £30k+ the cars themselves seem fair pointless as part of the appeal of a hot hatch in the past has been the affordability.

Which is the best hot hatch of all time. Not for it's day, for now.
As in this week.
Not at the Nurburgring on melty tyres, for the road (99%) and a very rare track day for fun.
Performance is what matters. Speed. Brakes. Feeling of sheer power.
Which car kicks ass in your view?
Do you not remember the nominations thread, poll thread and results thread on the greatest hot hatch ever?As in this week.
