You may have seen the new Hyundai i30 N hot hatch on Top Gear recently. Boasting over 270 horsepower and a 0-62 time of around six seconds, this car is certainly no slouch. However, the hot hatch segment is the only market that is a) seemingly still doing quite well and b) hasn’t been overtaken […]
As an owner of a (non-RenaultSport) Megane, I quite like my car. It is practical, has reasonable MPG and the safety figures when it was first released were great. However, this is now some time on from my car and a ‘hot hatch’ has to offer of all the traits I suggested as well as… […]
The 2018 SEAT Leon Cupra R may have only just landed in the UK, but all 24 models have already been sold out! This sports performance model was limited to a run of only 799 worldwide and features a host of upgrades and premium finish. UK editions of the car have 310PS power, a six […]
Supercar… sports car… family car… many of the old definitions of how or where a car should fit into comfortable categories are eroding.

The new Megane Renault Sport is set for release this year. In a first for hot hatches, it will have a four wheel steering setup (Renault names this the 4CONTROL system).

You want a German marque that is rear wheel drive, from a manufacturer that has huge experience in performance cars. This might well fit exactly the bill you’re looking for. The BMW M140i is a very potent hot hatch, with well over 300 horsepowers and three or five door variants. It’s also a sleek looking […]
