With all the Hatch posts on /o/ lately, why not get a containment thread for those who are interested in potentially buying a hot hatch, own a hot hatch, or want to talk shit about how we failed to purchase a FR V8 vehicle.
>What is a "Hot Hatch"?
A Hot Hatch is a manufacturer produced, performance oriented variant of a standard hatchback, designed for improved handling, increased top speed, acceleration and generally enhance the driving experience.
>Are all Hot Hatches FWD?
No. Whilst most Hot Hatches are FWD, some are AWD or even RWD.
>Isn't FWD shit?
No. Just because you can't get the arse out by stamping on the accelerator doesn't mean you can't have fun.
>Aren't Hot Hatches just for Europoors?
No; Hot Hatches have been a thing for the US since the 90s, took a dip in the mid 00s and are gaining momentum again.
Current star of the week: Golf R32

Reminder the mk4 GTI and any car on that platform apart from the R32 is complete shit.
The R32 isn't actually all that good but it does sound fucking orgasmic so it gets a free pass.

R32 is slow as fuck. It sure is a blast to drive with a few suspension mods though. North America got fucked compared to the Euro specd car.

>>17465053
Nice, I really like 20th GTIs. Have you done much to it?
>>
>>17465855
3" borla turbo back, stage 2 tune, rods and pistons. Probably won't do much though as I've recently taken a liking to bikes. I'll be giving this to my fiancee once I can afford a new DD.

No prob.
However I just checked and it doesn't seem to work on the mp275 kit for the focus, probably won't work on the similar kit for the fiesta.

I found it on their site, it's oos though.

>>17466357
It's just not worth the money, Ford will pretty much honor things that *actually* break under warranty even on a modified vehicle (in my experience, in the USA, etc etc but most people who get warranty claims denied are for things they did to fuck up the vehicle). The fact you would get a locked down version of an access port with a single, off the shelf tune was just not all that appealing considering map switching and other nice amenities you can get with a custom tune (not to mention the ability to resell an AP3).
They were neat box-mods but not really a great value.

I tried to buy a FMIC and it said it was 799 because of a sale but when I went to check out it was 899 and none of the codes worked. Mountune be some gays right now
>>
>>17466395
