Hot Hatchbacks

[turbojolt]

so what are your most sort after hot hatches (not including the nova)
they can be a modern car a old classic such as the lotus sunbeam

and why do you like them so much :thumb:

[Welsh Dan]

Lotus sunbeam, because we had a talbot one when I was a kid, and for some reason I loved it.

[craig green]

Lancia Delta Integrale. Look totally aggro & just such a cool car with rallying pedigree to back it up & the fact that they are a rare sight on our roads.

Anyone would think I've got a rust fetish liking Novas & Lancias!

[gazz]

[big gra]

[Riggy]

i would say 70's-80's , mk1/mk2 escort

90's , escort coss

00's , mk4 astra GSI

[Stuart]

grale, sunbeam, a 106 rallyeeeee when they arent broken down (but the same can be said for the grale lol)

MK2 ashtray GTE was a rather tasty car too.

[Jack]

None, hatchbacks are for chavs. Coup?s are where its at, I'd almost certainly pick a saloon or coup? over a hatchback anyday :D

I'd go with 205, Integrale and 106 gti/rallye though.

Starlet GTT would also be my pick of the jap contingent, possibly also a Pulsar if they weren't butt ugly and had brakes made of cheese. Can't be doing with Civics, and the new Impreza (yes folks, it'll be a hatchback) looks sh!t.

[Mike]

[craig green]

I forget about many of the hatches I lusted over in my youth.

Astra GTE's were probably my dream car when I was 9 or so. I also liked Charade GTTi's a lot when I understood what they were about (guy near me had 200bhp, rally prepped, caged beasty). I always thought a Corsa GSi (had to be white) was a menatal little car at the time.

So many! I've often listed off the hot hatches I'd have if I won the lottery.

[edens-xe]

mk1 fiesta supersport and mk1 astra gte

Id love a Delta, but i wouldnt be able to cope with it constantly breaking.

MK1 Golf GTi (late wone with the 1.8, or the cab), i had a cab and i miss it terribly, I still cant remember why the hell I sold it!
