[All] [Generic] MR2 Turbo vs Clio 172

[shibby!]

EK9 is the best hot hatch made. 185bhp from a 1.6. Rev1+2 tubby matching 0-60. Great handling.

Awesome.

yeh the gtir is the daddy of hot hatches. 5.2 to 60 as standard 140+
standard engine can take 400bhp with only fueling mods and a new turbo. gearbox is pants though.

shame the metro 6r4 doesnt really count as a hatch back.

Best hot hatch or the definative hot hatch.


Best, well that will be the one that is the fastest and handles the best. So probable the Lancia Integralle Evo

Definative, 205 Gti


Dont like the Ek9 at all, no idea why. Probably because i am not a Honda fan, think they can do better than "The tek"

Definative, 205 Gti

disagree, the definative hot hatch is the Golf mk1 1.6 GTI. Revvier than the 1.8. To my mind the Mk1 Golf puts the little Pug into "also ran" status.

Think you're right about the integrale though.

[mrfil13]

I would say the original R5 turbos, the first people mad enough to put a turbo in a small hot hatch.

That was the 1st recognised hot hatch (few before it were not really recognised)

But as Clarkson said. VW invented, Peugeot perfected it

I was always a 205 fan, i would have another in heart beat, would have to be Mi16 though

As i remmeber there was always the competition between the Pug and VW camps. 1.6 vs 8v and the 1.9 vs 16v



R5 turbo, no doubt a good wee car, as Splashnatz said, for me thats just an also ran car.
