What other hot hatches give the punto JTDs and HGTs a run for their money in your opinions?

nothing anything else is just not a punto

i actually think for looks and perfromance + price the HGT is hard to beat

S***a Fabia vRS

(But dont tell anyone )

They say Torque is cheap with this vrs:yum:

All 310Nm of it

Imo, for the power/torque, build quality, reliabilty (according to surveys) and equipment you get its the best option for the price.......Ok it may not have the Italian style but still looks smart Still dont know when mine's coming

there is no doubt this is a very cheap car to run, - 60mpg on the Motorways!!! and 60mph in under 10s for a deisel, nice

Negatives;
Noise is a bit ...'black cabby'
Looks, they are a problem, perhaps there are some descent body kits out there that can rescue it The wrc didn't look too shabby

Hmmmm Wonder who that was...........(the *** weren't in my original post )

I think S***a got the looks right, not too OTT but enough to make it stand out from the rest of the range. Its a sleeper; not many people expect to be beaten from the lights by a Fabia!

Other rivals are S**t Ibiza Cupra/FR, F*** Fiasco ST/Zetec S etc.......

Any jap hatches in your thoughts?

you bad stop swearing, i must rember to tell ben to add s***a to the sensor list and you said the F word

Come on!!!- misuse of moderator power

Ibiza Cupra R???

Now you're just being silly
Coupe 20V Turbo

The Fabia VRS is indeed supposed to be very good, but they're holding their values very well as a result, so if you're thinking of buying second hand you'll need deep pockets.
Another option might be the Seat Ibiza PD. Not sure how they're doing price-wise. Or how about the Ford Fiesta ST? Or Clio 182 (Cup).

H

Surely ford should be added to the moderator censorship list as well

I think the less said about the moderating style here the better...

I think the 206 GTI is a good buy and the clio is very poorly built and falls appart quicker than a punto clutch :yuck:

yaris t-sport, corolla t-sport, civic type-r

Not too keen on the fabia but I like the Octavia RS it looks mean . Yeah I hate renault stupid french trash. I'd say the biggest rival is the Honda Civic Type -R Although I have seen the new HGT thrash a Civic Type-r and all it had was a PiperCross Viper and a "Proper" Sports exhaust not one of them nancy boy Big bores.

u know what, i think i'm just gonna get a Supra. I was watching FaF last night and realised u can pick these cars up now for 4-6k good con and just suffer the insurance

lol will cost ya like £3000 thats if you can find a Insurer that will insure one of them jap monsters
