In Portugal someone with minimum wage would have to work 100 months to buy the Fiesta RS with base options. Seems right.
What about this 2.5L, 451hp monster?
Because they knew from the start that it would’ve win :P
I’d imagine the C30 Polestar and the !
A45 AMG would wax the floor with the Focus, but I think there’s a certain price range they were going for.
Edit- never mind, it is the AMG version they are testing. Still think the polestar outclasses everything there.
I think it was only a prototype from Volvo and just a few were made which are all sold so you can’t buy it if i know well
We had a 2008 c30 T5 and it was awesome
It hurts to see The Sti being compared with hot hatches these days :(
Why I never know this channel before. Very good quality review.
that is not all it’s rivals and since when was an impreza considered under the category hot hatch??
You can/could get it as a hatchback. They just happen to have the Saloon version to hand.
mercedes had the best stats but it cost the most
1st: Honda Civic Type-R.
2nd: Subaru WRX STI.
3rd: Volkswagen Golf R.
In my opinion, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is the best hot hatch.
GTI Clubsport*
Why no Astra OPC/VXR?
The RS3 should be on the top 3 intead of the Renault
Why? Its easily the worst handling of the group. Although it has dat inline 5.
