>Hot Hatch comparison between 208Gti, Clio RS and Fiesta ST

well you see most of the people who own st's on here americans so they don't get any french shitboxes, only american/german/asian ones, so the st doesn't have those to compete with

Because no-one with more than two braincells would want a French piece of shit

FiST is cheaper and technically isn't a top tier hot hatch (that would be a hypothetical FiRS)

Frenchies did nothing wrong. Only the German cucks are all the time with the jewish propaganda against frenchs which are totally taking over the market (hello opel)

This is why I own a FiST. Even brands that operate here don't bring over their comparable cars, no VW Polo or 1/2 series hatches, for example.

I'd been reading about hot hatches in UK car mags for years, and lived in a place where one made sense (SoCal), so I bought a FiST because I wanted to try a small hot hatch and it was the only option.

Man, if only. I drove a FoRS last week and after seeing it for myself, I think I'd even be willing to settle for an FF FiRS as long as it had the other improvements from the Focus, like the dynamic suspension and steering and amazing brakes, and of course more power and an LSD to keep it in check.

The Fiesta ST will last longer.

Frogs are GOAT at hot hatches.

The clio Rs is a terrible car, handling is fucking shocking. And don't even get started on the build quality, cheaply made abominations.

But the French just bought Opel

I live in SoCal too and drive a Focus ST.

Let's race in Yoruba Linda.

kek I used to work out in San Dimas and went through your neck of the woods all the time while doing parts runs.

Just go up the 57 to GMR if you want to play Takumi, way better road and way further from cops. I've been trying to stretch what's left of my poor abused tires and brake pads so I haven't been going, but I'll probably be replacing them next month.

(Also in before somebody REEEEEEEs at me for mentioning SoCal's worst kept "secret" road on the internet.)
