They had to include the Subaru as that’s one of the cars that people class as hot hatch (utter pish you may as well include evo / gtr etc) where was the vxr or the gtc the Nissan pulsar nismo or the Volvo this test is a waste of time

Well clearly the best car won! But as an Audi fan I was sad to see that the RS3 was the first car to go from the list.
What about the new M2?
It’s a coupe not a hatchback
I wanted Abarth… I know it would get destroyed but it sounds better ;)
Abarth has no car in this class. The last one was Stilo Abarth.
The main question should be,”Can the Ford Focus RS’ rivals fist?”
i didn’t like the way they compared different AWD/FWD/RWD, each one has its own way of driving…
Wrx hatchback is not a rival????
That hasn’t been in production for a few years now. All of the cars in this review you can actually buy brand new right now.
You haven’t compared it to the old car.
