i agree with brembo,the lancia delta is a nice car.i would go for that or a pulsar gti-r i also consider a golf VR6,not as fast stock but can be made pretty quick.

Civic's dynamics still leave lots to be desired. IMHO, the best hot hatch for the drivers is Clio V6, enough said. Mid-engined rear wheel drive, short wheelbase and light weight, what can we ask more ?

renault 5 turbo's are really quick cars.shame they overheat to much,gets a little annoying.but as said the weight is little and the hp goes a long way

Since he does not have enough money for a Civic Type R, Focus RS, or Clio V6, I would say go for the Mk1 Golf GTI and spend some of the extra money saved modifying the car. I have heard they're great fun to drive, good on gas, low on maintenance costs, and have large aftermarket support.

how about a VW Corrado? Those things are wild!--but I don't know how much they go for but since they are over 10 years old I think one could be attained for cheap.

the corrado aint a hatch back

but about them goin for cheap,im not sure about were everyone else lives but here they sure are holding there value.VR6 storms are still goin for as much as £6000 even with about 80k on the clock.even the 1.8 and 2 litre 16v's still go for about 2-3k

Wait the Corrado isn't? i thought it was. Two door...could I be getting it confused with something else? It looks a lot like a golf?

Thanks for all the feedback.I also like the 205 gti 1.9 and golf mk1 gti but they are bit too old.And also in estonia i haven`t seen them for sale.These cars would be great if i own one everyday car.I have also thought about polo g40 but it isn`t as fast as escort rs2000,sunny gti and astra gsi 16v.

yeah i would say the leon cupra R (very nice car IMO) and audi S3 are hatch backs,i agree with you though i prefer the smaller hatches from the early 80's to mid 90's.cars like the clio williams,5 gt turbo and my favourite the mk2 golf gti.

Imre - if your choice is between the escort,sunny GTI-R and astra then its by far the sunny/pulsar.4WD and turbo.i dont liek the escorts apart from the cossie and the old astra's are good i like them but compared to the pulsar it would be left standing.but if the renault 5 turbo is available id go with that or maybe even a saxo VTS very similar performance to the renault turbo
