Warm / hot hatch recommendations

[manracer]

I've owned the ST-2 and an abarth 500. ST is light years ahead as a daily. Abarth is good for occasional blast but as a daily I found it very tiresome to the point I'd often choose to take the Mrs Sportage GT line.

Just to update, we picked up this last week. Late 2014, one owner.

Carbon Red edition

15,500 miles

The previous owner had mats over the special edition mats, clear coating over the scuff plates of lower part of the doors.
It really is factory fresh.
