Bro this video was on point. I hope UA-cam algorithm does its thing and this goes viral. I liked and subscribed.
I appreciate that! Trying my best to get this channel off the ground haha
I just purchased a new Golf R Mk8 DSG, absolutely love the car!
Love the Golf R!
My first good car was a 1979 Honda Accord hatchback. It wasn’t a sports car, but it was fun.
I love hot hatches, the perfect blend of performance, practicality, and fuel efficiency. I’ll never sell my Focus RS
Wish they were still making the Focus RS
@@KeltonKozlowski the GR Corolla will be the next torch bearer, like the focus was to the evo
Definitely the coolest genre of cars
One of my favorites for sure
I only like hatchbacks and waggons. I love my 2007 A6 waggon.
Very classic design for that generation A6
@@KeltonKozlowski mine it's the 3.2 FSI S-Line, very few of those in N. America
An addition.
Driving fun isn´t all about performance.
An objectively slower car can be a hell of a lot more fun if you can actually rev out the motor on a normal road without killing yourself; and others.
Super- and Hypercars are like Motorbikes now. 2secs on the gas and you´re 100km/h+ faster, (nearly) no matter the speed you were already going before. That´s cool on a race track with run off zones etc.. On alpine serpentines, or a German avenue with trees every 20 metres.. not so much.
Agreed
I think the hot hatch concept is awesome. I only drive hatchbacks, and the rear seat on mine stays folded down at all times---I need that utility. It's all about fun + practicality
The perfect blend of fun and practical
Great video on the H-Hatches. One car I never hear anyone talk about as a H-Hatch is the Mini Clubman JCW with all wheel drive and 310 HP 👊🏼
Good call
Very good video, keep them coming and good luck on YT! :)
Thank you!
This was a great video🤝
Aye thank you 🙌
Hatchbacks and wagons will forever be my favorite cars.
I love my mk 7 gti. Its simply a joy to drive....and super practical.
Here for the algorithm
Aye thanks 🙌
Wish we still had the Veloster N. It rips like the Elantra N, but has that rawness and playfulness from the wheelbase and subcompact coupe size.
Well pretty much all the examples you gave are the last of their kind from their respective brand and will be electric in the next gen, so i don’t think they will be replacing anything… 🤷♂️
I disagree, no indication as of now that the civic, corolla, impreza/wrx or elantra will be full electric next gen. Still lots of options
@@KeltonKozlowski i don’t know about the corolla or the impreza, but honda and hyundai already said they won’t be making these cars again. In fact honda said the type r will be present in the ev era. Also the Elantra isn’t a hot hatch, the i30 is and they aren’t making them anymore.
Good Video! GR Corollas are pretty dope. I wish I could have gone for a circuit but i'm pretty satisfied with the premium. 😅
yesss
U left out the
MB GLA 45.
I thought about the GLA45 and I probably should have included it. It just didn’t fit the theme as cleanly. Its a little too upmarket; hybrid, automatic, more expensive etc
I would argue that hot hatches is actually a dying breed. there are fewer hot hatches for sale than 10 years ago
I wish Nissan made a Sentra coupe with the Altima 2.5 liter engine.
If they could do that with a stick for under $25k I would be interested
Agreed but also HP per liter is a useless stat
Agree just used it to catch attention tbh
