the most selling hot hatch in your country

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Once we meet people from all over the world, in interested in noticing which hot hatch model´ is mostly sold (or which is the most desirable hot hatch) in each members country nowadays, and why

In my case in the Basque Country, IMO the most selling hot hatch here is the Seat Leon FR TDI 150 bhp and the Citroen Saxo VTS 16v as the second one.....firstly the Seat is sold a lot because its a diesel car with superb performances(the sales of cars are here like 70% for diesels and 30% for petrol engined cars since the petrol costs 20% more at least than the diesel), sporting settings of suspensions, brakes, sporting steering wheel, sporting seats...... and its the cheapest 150 bhp diesel car selling here.....in addition, the saxo is sold in large numbers here because the car costs around 12000€ and there is no car on sale which performs as much as the saxo costing a similar amount of money

Thats the situation here......greetings

Hot hatch? North America has one? Maybe the Dodge Caravan...America's idea of a hot hatch.

I got amazed that the civic hasnt been mentioned as a hot hatch, once i see one of the few cars that can approximate to the hot hatch concept in non European countries

In Czech - Skoda Fabia of course - 1.9 95kw disel. For those who thinks its not good enough check top- and 5th-gear vids

Well for Belgium I wouldn't know, cause they only publish data per segment per car. So I only know for instance how many Renault Clio's are sold, but I have no idea how many of them are Clio RS's.

Probably a diesel powered hot hatch will be sold most. For the petrol powered cars it used to be the Saxo VTS, but it's replace by the C2 now, so I wouldn't have an idea which one currently tops the selling charts.

Dont worry too much Wutputt because obviously the Saxo VTS will be replaced here by the C2 VTS straight away...ive considered the saxo as the most selling petrol engine car just currently, nowadays

[Vansquish]

For the US it would have to be either the Civic Si (we don't get the Type R here), or the Ford SVT Focus...I guess the Mini Cooper/Cooper S/Cooper S Works count too actually.

[mindgam3]

i'm not sure what the best selling in UK is. I know the best selling hatch is the focus, but not sure about hot hatch. I see clio 182's, civic type r's, cooper s's, focus RS/ST, saxo VTS's, Golf GTI's/R32's and most others every day, its hard to tell. I would take a wild guess at the golf GTI, although i wouldnt consider it a hot enough hatch. Maybe the cooper s?

^^^ obviosuly im same as you there.loads of new civic type R and clio 172/182's.

[T-Bird]

I would say that the US it has to be the Golf GTI hands down if we are talking hot hatch, not too many Civic Si's but there are alot of SVT Foci around aswell.

The Clio 172 / 182 around here I guess

[PATo355]

officialy is the corsa here , then the 206

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Obviously we(among members) are guessing here about the best selling hot hatches for ourselves.......perhaps the most suitable question is...whats the hot hatch that you see most around or something like that......... at the end of the day is basically the same question as i proposed at the beginning of this topic....

[oldsnail]

i would say currently echo hatch (yaris/vitz) in canada
and there are certainly alot of civic hatches around ef-eg-ek-ep

[schnell318]

Here it would be the Yaris TS
