10 CHEAPEST Hot Hatchbacks With INSANE PERFORMANCE! (PRICE DROP)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- These 10 hot hatches are less than £5,000, so pretty cheap, especially considering their performance! 0-60 in some pretty insane times, and for some lucky younger drivers, perfect second cars!
I hope you enjoy!

Apologies all - my usual workflow for getting the stats for each car failed slightly and you’ll see the mk5 r32 stats for the mini! Slight mistake, at least I said the right thing in the background 😅
Nice video man, great content as always
Had a Cupra R, loved it until it got older. Constantly replacing ignition coils and went through 2 steering racks. Also had to get it resealed as water got into interior soaking carpet.
Ok, i bought a new Leon Cupra R back in 2004, in the 1st year i had the interior leathered, doors and seats same as cloth which it came with, with the double red stiching and R logos on front seats. I still have it today. Last year i got a stage 1 remap and omfg 50bhp increase and 100nm of torque ! The difference is unbelievable it is a wow improvement. I love my car, 72,000 miles on it. Brilliant car, a nice £18,000 purchase lol
Sounds like a keeper that one
That’s amazing, can’t believe you’ve had it all that time!
I would’ve liked to have seen the Volvo c30 t5 on here. Seriously seriously underrated hatchback and packs a fair punch. Extremely cheap for what you get too
Too expensive
Likewise, I have one. Fully loaded lux. Cost 6k done 52k miles. You can easily get a high mileage older model for 5k
Cheaper to get a focus st, with T5 lump in it
Less road tax as well
Classed as a coupe.
One of my favs - I really wish the C30 Polestar had made production!
Great video! I'm surprised you didn't include the mk2 Seat Leon Cupra as well. They come with 2.0T I4 239hp engine out of the box and you can get a descent one under £5k.
By the way, there is a mistake with the stats on the Mini JCW @4.40
Appreciate the Megane getting some love. Owned mine for over 3 years now and it's never missed a beat with me. Absolutely buckets of fun aswell
The EP3 Type R has gone up a lot in value.
I looked for a good one as a 2nd/weekend track day car. Anything under 5 grand was a dog.
They’ve been expensive for quite a while to be honest.
Love mine got a jdm version over here in Canada ( Brandon mb)
Yeah it was never a 5k option
5 door any day. Just fits the purpose of the hot hatch, a balance between practicality and fun. Exceptions being dedicated 3 doors like the Scirocco and Mégane RS
I have a red mk1 Cupra R BAM. I've had it 11 months just gone and absolutely love the car 👌
Got a stage 2 Mk1 Cupra R as a daily and it's crazy. Although it does need an engine rebuild.
Mk1 seat leon cupra r in my opinion is the best hot hatch ever built alongside the ep3
Just so you know regarding the Fiesta St at the end of its production run they offered it as a 5 door but didn't really advertise it, so not many made. Will be very rare in years to come 👍
been waiting for this. havent watched it yet but ik its gonna be amazing... my favourite has to be the ford or the audi
Good list 👍
Once again, no Mk2 Focus ST. Why the hate JB?!
The S3 is boring to drive so not sure how it’s number 1. I don’t mean to disrespect it because it is a great car. But there’s no fun to it
Probs better than most of these cars 👍
I have a seat Leon 1.8t 20v topsport. That thing is amazing
as an ep3 owner watch the rust. 5k+ normally allows.for fairly rust free ones
No MK 2 Focus ST? That's criminal. I genuinely thought they would be No1. That said some absolute 'weapons' in the list. The old school Cupra R wins it for me. Still looks class 👌
hey JB, do you think that a Abarth Panda 100 hp is a rare car? ive got one listed in my country for about 2.2k pounds
Did you mention cost of VED on the mazda???
I managed to pick up a 2007 mk2 focus ST225 for £3500, it’s so fast however terrible on fuel, but I don’t regret it one bit
N18 in the cooper S available from 2010 onwards but N18 not in the JCW until 2012 . Onwards I've had a 2011 Cooper S & the Mrs has a 14 plate DS3 Dsport Thp which is the same Engine. Going to be very hard getting a 5 grand 2012 JCW unless it's done 150,000 + miles. These engines as long as timing chain done well below recommend 100,000 and particularly oil which intervals are 20,000 I wouldn't do more than 5000 which both my old 2011 Cooper S and the wife's DS3 Thp have been no problem hopefully due to this.
We need the best second cars and insurance at 21 again JB🙏🏼🙌🏼
I have a mk5 golf gti and I’m surprised it didn’t feature tbh. I know as standard they’re only 200bhp but a few of the cars mentioned were sub 200bhp and imo the gti is a better car than the r32 🤷♂️ not as special or as rare but definitely more fun, less heavy and with a stage 1 map they’re quicker. Mine is currently running 275bhp and runs rungs around my mates r32! His has the edge from take off but once were rolling he doesn’t stand a chance. Especially through corners
Could we get this same video but for under 10k?? I’m in the market for one I really hope you make one soon!!
Kia Picanto GT-Line S "Bumblebee" (a special edition being the last of the old badge), 120bhp with 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and with a 50+mpg
This video I’ve been waiting for 😂. Need a decent car for 5k
Well I love my mk 3 ST3 focus 😊
Wrong engine for the #6 cooper
How can the mk2 focus st not be on this list, absolute robbery, come on JB😂
its a bit boring tho
First video I've ever seen, but I can only agree with the mazda 3... the rest are far too pricey. What about civic fn2/celica 2zz/corolla t-sport/clio's/astra vxr... sorry I'm not having a dig but 🤣🤣🤣 I am currently looking for something and u won't be getting anything worth buying from that list for 5k. Cheers for the vid, still helpfull 👊
HI JB please make another best low insurance cars for new drivers video / no black box prices too lease 🙏
The specs for the mini confused the life out of me at first 😂
Value for money ST150, although not quite 'hot' without being modified, it's a better driver than most of these, so damn fun! Just lacking a bit of power
5 door if they look good enough, but for about 80% of hot hatches the 3 door is just so much better it has to be that.
On my 250-mile commute yesterday (7.5 hours...bank holiday traffic is great) I can't remember seeing an EP3 but I definitely saw every other car on this list! The Cupra R of that gen was what we all wanted when I was at school and I still have a soft spot for those.
I don't have any soft spot for the S3, although that's partly because they used to always race my Lexus and Porsche, now they all want to race my Pug...although everyone seems to want to race that, I didn't realise how much of a chav-magnet a decat exhaust is. Driving one of those through a chavvy town is like walking into a bar in Ibiza and yelling "lads lads lads" apparently 🤣 Still, I genuinely don't think I've seen any Audi A3/S3 or any spec Fiesta in 5 years that hasn't either been doing
S3 8P for 5 bags will be Ruff as lol
Pre face lift is around that mark
100% was looking on eBay this morning a tidy one is 8 grand
Do best estates but diesel under £5k
A cooper VR6 😎
Always been a 5 door person myself, especially now since I’ve got a kid. Just prefer the practicality of getting someone in the back instead of climbing into it
Gonna be hard to get a decent rust-free EP3 for 5k these days
My 2010 Mazda 3 MPS turbo failed around 80-90K so be wary if buying
I would not but any of these
Audi S3 unmentioned the timing chain faults on the 2.0 TFSI rattle unless you pay £700-£900 if it went its catastrophically bad news. Should have reviewed the MK2 Focus ST having owned both the ST seems better by far.
I said basically the same thing. Not to knock the S3 because it’s a great car, but it’s nowhere near as exciting to drive as the ST. Would you agree?
@@cjhklio S3's are lovely better build quality than the Ford's? But the ST's I've had the mk3 and then the mk2 the mk2 seems savage compared to the other 2. Only draw back fuel economy is dire. I concur
This s3 doesn't have those issues as it's based on a updated fsi engine
@@wakaflockaproject Yeah right!
@@ApnaChoud the s3 is belt driven go check. It just drinks a lot of oil
3:24 I've got a 2012 Abarth esseesse. Best 6k i ever spent. 1 owner 60k miles, mint condition. Bags of fun.
The Leon would have made a great WRC car back in the day 🤷🏻♂️
i think a mk1 audi s3 is the best value fast hatchback, very easy to get alot more power out of them and theyre mega cheap
3 door all day , 5 more practical obviously , but 3 will always have the looks , soooo much cooler .
3 door will always look cleaner than 5
I can’t wait till I get a car in July my insurance is £40 a month well cheap
damn as someone with a mito qv , that gulietta might have to be one I swap for for that extra space.. love my alfa
If only the Giuletta had a manual...the Mito QV has to be more fun just because of the gearbox, no matter how good it is, it's an odd fit for a FWD hot hatch.
@@ApothecaryTerry ngl, it is fun but I was driving today and on longer trips I was thinking how nice an auto would be 😂
@@jmhuzzdoesgaming I do love a good auto. I had only autos over the last 10 years -torque converter, eCVT (underrated) and a PDK before I went back to manual last August with my 308 GTi. Drove it for 7.5 hours on Friday in bank holiday traffic and I'm still happy, although I will probably buy another auto next (some sort of GT...).
While I do prefer autos overall, I feel like a transmission not fitting the character of the car is a bigger sacrifice - a hot hatch to me should be FWD, manual and drive like a deranged chihuahua 🤣 Ideally I'd have one of each - an LC500 for long journeys and the 308 for days where I've had too much caffeine...
@@ApothecaryTerry that is exactly how I feel driving the mito qv spot on description 😂
@@jmhuzzdoesgaming Sounds like you've got the right car!
Wrong stats on the cooper! A quick edit will fix it!
R32 with 80k for £5k?? If only
Definitely 3 door
Mazda 3 mps, r32, giuliettas in general nevermind the QV version you will never get for under 5k
Ep3 should be higher up top 5
over 150k mileage 😂
No renault sport clio 172/182 or 197/200 😮😮
A mk5 GTi preforms much better than an R32, much more tunable engine with the turbo, and can pick one up for less than 5k. Nothings good about the R32 but the sound and its AWD system.
I love the EP3 but that gearstick location is so bad. Feels horrible to use. People say you get used to it but I don’t see it
I got used to itt
Feels perfect after a few months
Why does every video have to have “INSANE” performance! These are nippy at best 😂
the specs card for the mini shows the MK5 r32 golf specs
3 door fan
I'd like to see some kind of "GT wannabe" cars: cars that are better suited for motorway driving but can still you give the "fizz" on twisty roads...
Do one under 10k😅
Kia ceed gt
5 door guy
3
You are pist if you think you can get an r32 with 80 k for 5k
Probably can … from Bradford 😂
Thought the same! You'd struggle to get a GTi for that
3door looks better
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP PUTTING PEOPLE ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Ep3 3.6k. yeaa no thats only for a rotton non motd one lol
Definitely missing BMW 130i, RWD, 3.0 NA 6 banger with 265bhp, 0-60 in 5.5 and under 5k.
Agreed!! Had one of these and it was great until someone hit it in a carpark
I've got an e87 (5 door) m sport spec in Le Man's blue. Love it!
4:43 You may wish to review your figures on the screen.
oh i’m EARLY early
BMW 130i, 270bhp, rwd for less than 3-4k seems a bit crazy not to be included. Maybe start introducing an honourable mentions bit halfway into the video.
Can think of quite a few hea missed out
@@alexdodd6768 totally agree mate, 130i was just first thought for bang for buck
This car's look like on the Mcdonald diet.
Never been first viewer before 😂
you were a little too slow . ay i mean 2nd aint bad
Non of this cars are under 5k what are you talking about 😂😂😂
@4:37....Ermmm
type r 5000 pounds ??? in Australia the $150000aud , in japan $10000aaud
