Wich will you choose?

[fabro_s]

Im just wondering, I love hot hatches, and i will like to buy one soon, wich one would you prefere?, we dont have lots of hot hatches here in mexico, but i want you to help me choose...

Its between:

Mini cooper s - great looks
Renault Clio Sport RS - a really fast hatch, good equipment, racing experience
Seat Leon Turbo - great looks, great sound, bad equipment
VW Golf GTi - a classic that everybody knows
Opel Astra GSi - i dont really like it

Well guys that are my options, hope you can help me to decide...

[N.J.]

Well, in Europe the Mini Cooper S might be a bargain - but in Australia, Its BLOODY OUTRAGEOUS to charge $39,900 for a 1.6 Supercharged 2 door car.

Great little car - but just way too much money (in this country at least)...

God! In this country, for $30,000, you can get a V8 engined 4 door saloon not too dissimilar to a BMW M5! (Holden Commodore/Ford Falcon etc. etc.)



No, by FAR my favourite hot hatch is the Renault Clio Sport!

In Australia, you pay $33K for it (what that basically means is you pay Mini Cooper money and actually get Mini Cooper S performance! - much better!)

A local car magazine said, "it has the performance of a WRX for 10K less!"


p.s

In short - GET THE RENAULT CLIO SPORT!, I'm saving up for one myself :wink: (seriously :D )

[SPAD]

the clio for sure ! i love how it look and it ahs great performance

[PATo355]

Mmmm , i think you should get the Golf GTI mk5 , wait till it arrives to your country is the biggest and most comfortable

[hemi_fan]

Is the clio sport the RWD Mid-Engined one!?! If so, GO FOR THAT!!!

[Silvia_Drift]

I concur. From the reviews I saw, this car is extremely good but not too practical or comfortable. Its also really hard to control at the limit but the car is really stable until you get it sideways.

Well in most countries the Clio called Clio Sport is "just" the Clio 172 (now 182) in uk and somewhere else... the RWD one is usually called simply Clio V6

[pakos007]

of course the honda civic type-r!(im really sad that you forgot it...). Have a look at it, and im sure you will love it.dont expect it to be very comfortable or have good equipment,its almost a racing car...Whatever youre looking for,theres always something available...i would go for the mini cooper if it wasnt type-r

Second that....(tho not a big fan of Honda) u really should include that

[stracing]

the civic type-r is only available in the UK unless its thru import.

[AlienDB7]

You should take a look at the new Mazda 3 Sport with the 2.3. It maybe a bit down on power compared to other cars on the list but it's NA and reasonably priced.

[kteo2003]

from the cars you 've mentioned i would definetelly go for the mini cooper s....

[Chingachgook]

I'd go for the Clio! :wink:

[oscargarza88]

id go witht the leon, cause i like its looks, it handles very good and the engine well its easy to get alot of power out of, and its comfrtable inside, but it has to be yellow!

[tanelvali]

´definately cooper S
AMAZING car!

[adamrotor]

Id be stuck between clio and the vdub.

Clio, never actually seen one in person but very very fun cars with racing heritage behind them and vw gti they are a bang for a buck in my opinion im actually shopin for one myself. Like the fact that its comes in a mini luxury package the interior is just so pleasant. But if i could pick mostlikely the clio if you talking about the wide bodied mid angine setup one.

renault megane sport(225hp) is not really a hot hatch i think,its a small gt.a lot of electronics and not too good when pressed.mazda 323 is good,but if you want to stay without turbos,go for the type-r!and type-r is available almost everywhere.

[Kangaroo Boy]

What Peugeot 206 180...I've seen a pic of them,They look awesome...I reckon that would be great little car.

[LotusGT1]

Peugeot 206 would be nice....

The Golf is no GTi, it's way too comfortable and heavy for that...

[teto]

i would buy the clio sport 182...it just looks great...i drove the 172 and its performance is great...the breaks of the car are awsome...you should by that one....how much does it cust in mexico????? here in guatemala the clio sport 172 cost like 23000 dolars

[SPEEDKILLAR]

A3, expensive but decent and looks great(with some modifications)

[TT]

Clio Sport

[skituner]

MINI. ALL THE WAY

[jorge]

Clio Sport, it goes hard and looks nice :)

[HeilSvenska]

One of my (realistic) dream cars is the VW Golf R32...Seat Ibiza...Seat Cupra R...sure...
and Mini...I can't be seen in it...makes me look too fruity...and hell to Japanese hatches...

Me also, I like a lot the VW Golf R32 and the Seat Cupra R. Both cars are not sold in Canada, this is really sad. :x :cry:

[HeilSvenska]

I know...although i can get R32 in US!!!

[Devilsdog9]

I would go for the mini or the golf because i like the idea of really sweet handling in a little bit bigger Go Cart

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Getting this list....id go for the seat leon as long as im a bit enthusiast of the turbo engines, and once i like this 1.8 turbo engine as well, apart from the grip, the brakes, the built quality of the leon that are in a good level....if the civic or the Focus, or the 206 were included....id go for the civic or the focus....i love both engines although they are completely oposed in terms of their personality

[graywolf624]

cooper s. Amazing car. Handles well and actually looks good.

[Sir_GT]

It's not on your list, but I'd suggest an alfa.

[chipanggo]

among those you mentioned, we only get the mini cooper on this side of the world. but based on looks alone, i'd get the mini.

[fabro_s]

hahaha I bought the Clio like 4 months ago, thanx for the advice, hope to post the pics soon this week!! :twisted: CLIO SPORT

[vexor]

In a word ... Clio
