Classic Hot Hatches

[16v_paddy]

Uno turbo ie, pug 205 gti, valvers, williams, rs fiestas, and of course mk1 golf gti, they are what i think of when someone says hot hatch. With the modern stuff i just think its too big to be called a hot hatch. For example focus rs, vxr astras etc, the only recent one that is small enough to be a hot hatch is the twingo rs, and maybe a vxr corsa.

In the same vein, I find it offensive that a mk3 is even called a clio

With a limited number available and lots of dogs out there then yeah I suppose it does fall into the classic category. Wouldnt mind one myself!

I have one of these
a stonking Ford and I think a for sure investment.
northy, I had a Lagos blue evo 2 intergrale and sold it 4 years ago and I regret it every day!
I also have a Racing Puma, very rare and an excellent solid drive. Hopefully a good investment as very underrated as the Williams is.

my cousin has a racing puma.. lovely looking cars, they come close to the same driving pleasure as to the willy & valver hybrid gang.. lots of grip but i wasnt sure about the power delivery from it.. but with a decent set of tryes..its on rails.. throw it in to a corner and not even worry about going straight on into the hedge/tree/wall.. the interior is just so... so.. so Ford.

I think the ultimate for me is a Renault 5 gt turbo 2
so if anyone knows of one going cheap, let me know LOL

Lets not forget the Granddad that spawned all of the above - Renault 5 Gordini (and Turbo)

An Integrale Evo 2 is probably the one I'd most like to own.

As for 'classic' hot hatches, this is over 45 years old now so must pre-date all of the above:
