Toni X Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi, I am willing to buy a fast car, but I prefer a hot hatch.. My shortlist are: Colt Ralliart, 206 GTI 180, Polo Gti or a Corolla Tivo.. I like a car with lots of torque in not so high rpm, a great "dancer" and still be able for a daily commuter with high quality and cheap parts, but I dont think that I will modify my car.. Which one is the best for me? Or do you guys have other ideas? Thanks.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/294215-hot-hatch-17k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
defari Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 count the rolla out then, no torque and need to rev it hard to get it going.. colt ralliart's look gay but still decent power + you get the awesome mitsu warranty.. dont know much about the 206 or the gti performance wise but id say parts would be more expensive than the corolla..

Mayuri Krab Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 XR5 turbo? Those have lots of torque, or so I have being told. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/294215-hot-hatch-17k/#findComment-4909638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluprint Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Ford Fiesta XR4? Apparently their handling in hot hatch terms is "the business" and they come up pretty well with an ECU tune.

scathing Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 VW 9N Polo GTi + ECU reflash + rear sway bar = finished No external mechanical mods means the cops will not be able to find anything to defect you for (and being un-Japanese you won't get as much cop attention in the first place). The thing pulls across most of its rev range and makes really good power for the weight with that reflash. Even when the car's serviced, they might not notice. There's a mode to set the ECU back to stock anyway. The rear sway bar will dial out a lot of the "OEM safety" understeer, while not making it scarily taily.

jaxt Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 did you mean a turbo corolla sportivo? what about a golf vr6 have you considered one of them? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/294215-hot-hatch-17k/#findComment-4910886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Go the Colt. Very cool. Or if you're after an older car as 555NAP said Pulsar GTir, plenty of mods for the old SR20!

Toni X Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 I know that XR5 is the best one, but I just can't afford it.. So, how's Colt? Is that good? How is XR4 compared to Colt Ralliart?
