Why are hot hatches subjectively the best mix for fun and practicality?
yurop pls go
>>16935065
Nu male pls go
>>16935062
Because making something a hatchback improves a vehicles usefulness with a minimal penalty in in performance.
Just look at Subarus: the previous gen offered a sedan and wagon wrx, and the wagon was only 50lbs more.
>anything other than the best hot hatch
>>16935062
Best mix is a sedan
They're pretty fun, the fwd doesn't bother me too much and the power is nice. I wish it sat lower and had a little more pull early in revs and could get around small roads a bit better but overall, hot hatches are really fun with great practicality. I've had a keyboard and lamp in my trunk for 2 months that I forgot about, gonna remove them today and count it as weight reduction.
My SVT has okay power but makes up for it with great handling and power to weight, and it doesn't guzzle gas 9/10
>Hot hatch
>Not a single one on fire
How can you call them hot hatches if it isn't hot at all?
>Boring Mazda3
>Hot hatch
that's not how that works bro, also forgot the Focus ST, the RS doesn't belong
>>16935826
or the Golf R for that matter, Civic Type R is on the border
>>16935062
>mazda 3 at the bottom
>still pretending like the speed 3 exists for this gen
Seen an A-Class in elbaite green in the wild a few days ago. Absolutely marvellous color.
>>16935809
As expected of mershitdes huehue
>>16935062
Because they're a practical car given fun bits.
>>16935062
Make hot hatches small again
>>16935062
whoever did this retarded collage forgot to switch the mazda3 with the swift sport
>>16936626
>>16935840
>the mazdas the only good car on there
>>16936630
Nice meme dude, but it still doesn't change the fact the MS3 literally doesn't even exist for this gen.
>>16936620
Hot Toyota Yaris soon
>>16936630
it's not a fucking hot hatch.
>>16936635
So?
The fords will eat brakes, transmissions, clutches, diffs, catch fire around 40k
The VWs will shit out around 40k
The mini, fiat, and hyundai will shit out around 40k
The honda is fuck all ugly but it should be reliable.
Mazda will keep going into infinity and beyond.
Thats the ONLY thing that matters in a street driven car. Reliability.
Also
>>16936643
This
>>16936664
>So?
So the new 3 has no business in a hot hatch thread you dummy.
>>16936657
>>16936675
But the fiat and mini and hyundai are?
The fiat makes less HP in top trim
The hyundai turbo only makes 15hp more
The mini makes less hp unless you get a john cooper version. Which isnt worth the money.
The fiesta makes only 15hp more and weighs the same as a 3.
You people are retarded
>>16935062
there is something with small cars that makes them just so fun
>>16936684
No, you fucking retard. It's literally a fucking econocar.
It's not fucking marketed as a hot hatch anywhere, whereas a Swift Sport and an Abarth are.
Fucking mouthbreathing retard.
>>16936620
old golf 1 gti is perfection
mk2 is cool as well though
>>16936664
>says honda is reliable
>and mazda is also reliable
BUT ONLY MAZDA MATTER IT'S ONLY MAZDA FOR RELIABILITY I BUY INTO EVERY MEME THERE IS. EXCEPT ONES RELATING TO MAZDA.
>>16936695
Its hotter than things considered hot.
>>16936702
No one is arguing the civic you autistic sperg
>>16936684
Yes. The Fiat is tiny as fuck compared to the 3, and has completely different suspension, exhaust, and panels compared to the base model unlike the 3. Same for the Mini and ST.
I'll let the Hyundai slide because at least they're trying. The 3 is a hot hatch as much as a Juke or a base Civic hatch is a hot hatch.
On a side note, what's the general opinion on the yaris?
>>16936740
Apparently its more hot than a mazda 3.
>>16936740
Good shitbox.
>Honda still hasn't made a Fit Si
It's like they don't want my money.
>>16936711
>I think it's hotter than the other hot hatchbacks, there for my opinion is correct
Check the definition
"High performance derivative of a car body style consisting of 3 to 5 doors"
The mazda 3 is not high performance it's just a regular econobox.
>>16936745
hotter*
the mazda is just way better looking though
>>16935826
They haven't made the current gen speed 3 yet so he pictured the regular 3. The mazdaspeed 3 is one of the best hot hatches out, especially for the $$.
>>16936740
I want the Yaris GRMN looks kinda eh but still gonna be awesome
>>16936757
They have, just not in the US. It's called the Jazz Si.
It also has 98hp.
Where's your god now?
>>16936769
This. Ugly as fuck, but a 3 door subcompact with a supercharger and Toyota reliability is a recipe for perfection.

Really makes you think
>>16936757
>that fucking feel
>>16936775
Smartasses like this is why I always qualify it by saying Fit SI with the 1.5l turbo from the Civic.
Fuck you Honda, that's not a fucking SI.
>>16936782
Maximum Sperglord
>>16936775
All I want is for Honda to bring back the Fit Sport (or call it the Fit Si to keep it inline with the Civic) and give it more than 110 bhp like they did.
Could use more torque, too.
>>16936775

I'd say like 140hp, to compete with the Swift Sport.

you don't understand breh, one test drive and it has ruined my life. I can't stop thinking about it even though I know it's an unreliable piece of italian garbage. ;~;
>abarth in OP's pic

Come on.
>>16936871
Fiesta ST is much better and a tad more then that piece of shit. Fiat has terrible reliability.
>>16936924
1) It's a photoshop
2) The proportions for a sporty RWD hatchback are these
However, don't even start this argument.
Everytime an Alfa is posted there's the mentally ill Bmw faggot ruining the thread...it's absurd.

You know she's a mess, her family is crazy, and there's a good chance she'll break your shit - but you still want to marry that girl.

This is the stock sound with stock exhaust.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9tm7mZhDII
You can hear that the engine note is the same and it's good.
>>16936987
im dating an Italian right now and I can say this is 100% accurate never wanted to marry someone more. Although that doesn't transfer over to a hunk of shit car

Stop spreading bullshit memes you mongoloid.
Lease that fucking car and buy a warranty extension so you're covered for 4-5 years.
How are we supposed not to shill when y'all only talk with memes as your backup source?
>>16937010
I've looked for aftermarket exhausts for the Fiesta ST and Civic SI and GTI etc etc etc but absolutely nothing can touch the 500 Abarth. It's infuriating.
>>16937028
>can't accept the truth that fiat is literally trash
sorry bud find out the hard way, also warranties cover nothing if the can find a way out.
>>16937026
...what?
The FR is just a trim of the same car (Leon) and the engine (1.4 TSI) is the principal opponent to the FCA 1.4 Multiair.
It doesn't matter where it is mounted, the sound is the same...the Ibiza at least doesn't have that synthetic sound faggotry.
If you insist, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXT52mrGw8g
Generic as fuck.
>>16937049
Can't accept the fact that you niggers only use Consumer Reports as source, because simply is a mongoloid report based on people satisfaction and perceptions.
Why in these reports tesla is constantly missing? It's been years since their cars are on sale, we all know that the Model S is badly built in the interior and had a lot of electronic problems...yet it's missing in CR charts, and you know why?
Because the owners of these cars simply don't matter and don't report their problems, because like Audi owners they don't want other people to know they bought the wrong car and therefore questioning their choices in life.
Also if Fiat were bad cars the Germans wouldn't have set up this garbage because they're afraid of a little 500 selling so well in their country:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pVF1Wr7GLQ
>>16937042
That's because the entire engine has been engineered to sound like that and produce such an angry note, just like Alfa Romeo has always did with their cars...but yeah, Fiat garbage...
>>16937050
Ah, you're comparing engines, not cars. That makes sense I guess, although the FR versions aren't the "hot" versions of their respective models (unlike the Abarth).
>no rwd hothatch
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO DO?
>>16937077
>>16937077
Because it kills trunk space. Also because manufacturers are fags.
>>16937086
it needs to be shorter
>>16937076
No, the "hot" models in Seat's house are called CUPRA.
>Leon Cupra

Actually the hatchback suffered from significantly worse chassis rigidity.
Weekly reminder that Veloster mkII will pwn the entire hothatch segment.
Do the relatively new hot hatches ever go to the used market with reasonable miles or whatnot? you goys got any advice on buying one of the relatively "new" hot hatches and whatnot?
