Which hot hatch should I get?

[BrandonChin]

Hi, considering of getting another car. A hatch back. Can you guys give me your opinions and suggestions?

[Versatile]

Golf GTi.. or Sirocco.

[BrandonChin]

Nice... Sirocco 1.4 liter seems quite affordable.

[Zafchen]

or GOLF GTI if you can afford abit more....

[Nine_eleven]

[SeriousGuy]

I get your joke! but on serious note, take your statement literally, yea i think cars look better without any tint, full clear glass, let the daylight in, together with beige/cream interior and some wood trim, best i don't understand why super-tinted windows and black interiors are all the rage these days--ugly, and so claustrophobic

Hi! I heard the local Opel dealer will be bringing the new Astra 1.6 Turbo. It has 180 bhp! Suggest you wait and see this car. I saw this very cool integrated bicycle rack image on the Web. Check it out!

Scirocco...

 

 

a hot hatch must look really hot... yah?...

for my taste, I think I only like the Scirocco among the offerings available today...

 

I'm a fan of the DSG gearbox. Of course get the 2.0 if budget isn't an issue, but I think the premium is a little high over the 1.4...

 

now's not the best time to get a new car, yah? It's now $117K, almost $20K more than when it first come out!

For your budget, 2 car in mind..

 

1) Fiat Bravo T-Jet 150 Hp

Have not test drive, but look nice to me

 

2) Volkswagen Golf Sport Twincharged 160 Hp

Test drive

Pros: Powerful engine, good handling, quiet, low road tax, the front look nice, DSG, well specification, moddable.

Cons: 7 Speed DSG is for max 250 Nm torque and the car already produce 240 Nm torque. May have issues in long term. Back seat cannot go down fully unlike Honda Jazz or Volkswagen Polo.

 

Subjective: Backside not very nice looking, spacious cabin (people with long leg and body think it is too cramped but people with short leg and body like me find it spacious.)

Dont look at it as a 1.4cc. Look at it as a 2.5cc (which its power and drive feel like). then you will get over its price issue
