206 GTi 180

[THE_Liam]

To be honest, I'd say a 172 is a better option than a 206, but in general if you really want a proper hot hatch you need to look at older ones, the new ones are too heavy and complex. The Clio is one of the last real hot hatches. Now their all too thirsty and expensive, because they've all gone power mad and people need too many gadgets. Since when is an 8-9 second 0-60 time not quick enough, and since when does a little sports hatchback need cruise control? To me, hot hatches peaked with the mk2 Golf and 205, even the '6 isn't quite as good all round as the 205, because it's loads thirstier and not actually any quicker than a 1.9 205...
