Hot Hatch Reviews

BMW performance hatch that is also a bit of a bargain. It's not quite a 1M, but it's close.

Overlook the fact it’s so good that it’s almost joyless: the latest Golf GTI is very desirable indeed.

Not as cheap as you’d expect, but still one of the best hot hatches on sale.

A car that returns to trade on past glories. The game's moved on, Subaru.

An immensely fast and capable car to drive. But Golf R remains better to drive.

Incredibly competent, deceptively fast, but needs to be at warp speed before it gets interesting.
