What performances hot hatches or saloons have you had???

[Lcfc84]

Wrote a list today, as I was bored at work I can't believe I have had this many cars in 8 years until I wrote it down. Civics and golfs were the best and the vxrs were a letdown.

Civic type r ep3

Civic type r fn2

Civic type r ep3 facelift

Civic type r import ek9

Honda Integra dc5

Citroen saxo vts

Clio 182

Clio 172 cup

Clio 16v

Astra vxr

Corsa vxr

Astra Sri turbo

Focus st 225

Golf vr6

Golf 4-motion v6

Golf gti mk5

Seat Leon cupra r 225

Audi s3 8p 2007

Toyota starlet glanza

Bmw 330 e46 ci sport

Bmw 330d e90

Subaru impreza wrx

Mini cooper s works supercharged

Corsa b gsi

Pug 306 gti-6

golf r32 mk5 dsg

None for me, unless you count the Corrado as a hot hatch. I've never been in a situation where I've needed that much practicality in my own car.

[V8forweekends]

Fester XR2
Sierra XR4x4

[Pebbles167]

Golf mk4 1.4 s with an induction kit.

Vectra 1.8 SRI, that thing was FAST.

That is a big list! Be interested to hear in a bit more detail how you though they all compared? Especially the Integra against the Civics.

I've had(including company cars):

206 1.6 Xsi
Saxo Vtr
Mini Cooper S(R53)
Civic Type R Ep3 x2
Mini Cooper S JCW(R53)
106 Gti
Ford Puma Millennium
Clio 182

For me the 106 Gti was the most fun, the Civic's were the best overall, the supercharged Minis sounded awesome but I hated the interiors, and the Clio did everything well but I bought a not so great example.

You can't beat the civics for all round performance, the integra dc5 was awesome to but the uk roads are not the place for it. The audi s3 2007 was the biggest let down for all the money it costs, golf r32 beats it hands down for noise alone I thought my mini felt slow compared to the civic for 210 bhp. If your thinking about buying a corsa vxr don't do it haha there rubbish

That's a proper hot hatch.

Ahhh sounds good I thought the JCW Mini was a little slow for 210bhp as well, I found the ride pretty crashy in the Mini too.

I'm not a fan of the VXR at all, but I did have a lightly modified Corsa Gsi hand my arse to me off a slip road and down a deserted dual carriageway when I was in my 206 Xsi. At the time I thought my 206 was really quick, so seeing this old Corsa leave me far behind was quite humbling! :L

warm is generous ... room temperature maybe

You must get bored quickly. Good effort trying that many cars. Do you generally get back what you paid and find them easy enough to sell on?

Sierra XR4x4 2.9 owned two
Mondeo ST24
Mondeo Ghia X V6
Escort RS 2000 FWD Bonnet Bulge model
Nissan 200SX S14a

[Actus Reus]

Almera GTi
Mini Cooper
Mk.IV Golf GTi 1.8t
Mk.V Golf GTi
Scirocco TFSi 210PS
Porsche Cayman S
Golf Mk.VII R - on order

Mk.V Golf, pound for pound probably the best car there, certainly the most flexible though the Cayman, on the right day, on the right road, must surely be one of life's greatest pleasures. I'm hoping that the R will be a good compromise car when I become a dad later in the year.

From the factory 220-230bhp though right?

Any pics? I love the GTI-R, IMO a great looking car.
