Best hot hatch for £10k

[rawsco]

I properly just laughed out loud when I drove an i3 it’s like being attached to a huge rubber band and launched forward. Handle great too.

[Sanjøy]

What about an i3?

You will easily win the traffic light starts.

It’s not so good at handbrake turns with the electric handbrake though. Fuel bills would be most welcome and the mp/charge should keep you happy.



Steve.

I think I looked at the start of the year, £15 and light on warranty.

Electric residuals too unproven yet.

Certainly would look at it.

Really wanted the Golf GTE to work but understanding is it wasn’t good enough and VW pulled it.

Wow. Might have a winner there, Gary.

Assume similar annual budget to purchase price to keep it going?!

If your going to wear a medalion it has to have a complimenting chest rug. Ditch the 2.2 and go for a proper Alfa:

Pretty. Scary

Am I the only one who thinks that is a very strong price?

I was expecting a LOT less.

Alfa's with a GTA badge always hold a lot of value, and they are only getting rarer. Anything with a Busso seems to be going up too.

In keeping with the sendiment, every now and again, I have a look for a decent 3.2 V6 GT:

208Gti certainly looks pretty, far less common than a Cooper or ST, and on my list a always wanted a 205Gti.

[campbell]

Pete. Will do. Ta

208 Gti. Hmm.

[pete]

AS it came up I like the i3. For motorways and citys it's nearly perfect. But it doesn't have the depth of a proper hot hatch, the chassis is too limited by its traction control. (Amongst other things)

That's heavy on price too, plus for me not special enough to be paying £570 annual RFL

[Sanjøy]

For a bit of fun...and tentative market research.

Nothing too old with things starting to break.

Must seat 4 adults without stooping / folding.

I’ll start.

Polo GTI MY2015 - the 1.8 model

What else?

And have you bought one?

[campbell]

No.

Plans are all changing so the Trusty TT looks to be staying for a bit yet. Just changed the tailgate struts on it and the centre brake light is next.

Disappointed in a way as the Hot Hatch project was looking like fun. <rolls eyes>

C'est la vie.

PS - my brother may have just bought one though...get ready with the pelters

Better not be a mini!

[campbell]

I think he just sold one of those...

Mini going on the market shortly - just getting pics together. Will pop in classifieds if still for sale but had a couple of folk interested already.

New steed due to arrive shortly - prepared for pelters Not sure it fits into the "Hot Hatchback" category - but we'll see!
