Anyone taken stock of the current Hot Hatch situation?

[Miyagi]

Can i just step back and say it's fkn awesome that there are so many hot hatches for us to debate about... 2 years ago there was practically nothing and now have a look!

My short list:

1. XR5 Turbo - Does all the right things for me personally and i can't argue against Ford Family Discount... 8) I can mod it, be faster and still be under budget of all other competitors.
2. HSV VXR - The more i read up about it the more i like, constantly impressing me... love that blue!
3. Golf GTI - DSG and the interior does it for me, all the other stuff just as much as the XR5 and VXR.
4. 3 MPS - Nice engine, Mazda would have to have tuned the chassis nicely and it's a good platform. Styling puts me to sleep.. if i was going a Mazda it'd be a MX-5 for Great Ocean Road fun.
5. Holden SRi-T - Great BFYB, has the complete list of options the XR5 should have had... still a bit sleepy style wise for my taste.

Cheers,
Miyagi

Dude, I agree with you. The Hot Hatch scene has really hotted up.
There are those that you have mentioned, and a few others like the Polo GTi, Pug 206 GTi 180, and Renault Clio Sport.
I'd love for Wheels or Motor Magazine to do a full Hot Hatch Comparo, and bring them all out, and put them thru their paces.
