Feeling the need for a hot hatch...
 

Lift off oversteer, chuckability, lightweight... etc all at lower than normal scooby light speed

Was thinking 106 pug, or even Clio

Had a 206 GTi a while back but that dropping apart. Was good fun though

What's the pick of the bunch?

clio cup

Have been thinking the same myself.

Tried looking for a mint 106GTI (had one before) but all the ones I've seen are chavved up. Far better fun car's than the Clio. Chopped my 106 in for a 172. Worsed mistake in my car life.

I've been looking at new cars too. Have a few choices:-

Audi S1 Quattro (Could have 220bhp)
Renault Clio Williams (Could have 240bhp)
VW Polo R - (Could have 201BHP)

None have been confirmed yet, but all should be pretty nippy.

type r?

I own a Type R.

I'm after something for slow speed fun

205 1.9 GTI

I assume he is talking about a Civic Type R :thumb:

yes sorry. civic.

Mk2 Golf GTi 16V :thumb:

I'm biased though :D

Old school Mini :)

Supercharged 106

A mate supercharged his old 106 Rallye, mental wee car

I've got a T-sport yaris 107 bhp and it handles like it's on rails!

Funnily enough I'm hankering after another mk2 golf gti! Had so many & used to break them for a living.

Good fun, bullet proof & fairly economical

another +1 for Civic Type R :)

Peugeot 205 GTi, either 'tweeked' 1.9 8v or a Mi16/GTi-6 converted 16v.

OOBER fun and proper old school respect :D

ok i know you sad hot hatch, but low speed fun does not get better than a mx5 or an mr2.

But for me if i could find a decent one, it would have to be a mk2 xr2 i had a few of them and they are great i love em.

Robin Reliant? They`re slow and sort of a hatch :lol1: :D

:norty: :lol1: yer, right...

Lupo GTi, if you can find one.

A cammed mapped renault clio 1.8 16v, same shape as the williams but revs alot higher, my old one used to rev 8500 and easily stick with my old corrado vr6

My other half has a Yaris SR (1.8, 131bhp ) at the mo, it's not the fastest thing on the road but it handles extremely well, very good fun :)

But I still have a soft spot for the pug 205 1.9 GTI :luvlove:

106 rallye will be slow (1.4 engine?) albeit seem to have a good rep ... can pick them up for £1-2k ish. Probably mega miles though due to age ...

TX.

At present im looking for a 172 cup.....then its time to strip, cage and abuse...:thumb:

Hopefully it will be cheaper to tracking a scoob....i hope..:lol1:

I know a lot of people rate the rallye, but having never been in one so cant really comment.

For me I'd be back in a Mk1 Yaris in an instant! And if you want more power the 4e-fte out of a Starlet drops in pretty easy ;)

Clio 172/182. Nippy, quick, cheap and plenty of tuning mods.

Old Golf GTI or Civic Type R.

A lot of fun and reliable too... whereas a Clio is just a lot of fun!

Vauxhall nova gsi with a 2ltr 16v redtop lump in, running 180 bhp. One of my fav cars to own. So so quick, mental. Striped out with roll cage. Loved it.

+1 or 306 gti6 had both cars a loved them both :thumb:

How about the Mazda 3 MPS?

I have never driven a 172 or 182 but I would like to know who from someone who has driven both if they can compare handling wise to a 106 gti or rallye. I can honestly say that having driven a few, the two cars that stand out as amazing to drive are the lotus elise and the 106. Compared to these two 911's and ferrari 360's are boring.
