Which retro hot hatch would you go for?
We're talking retro here, so lets set the bar at 20 years old.
Retro hot hatches are big business at the moment. If you have a clean, unabused example then you're more or less quids in. Why? Because by definition a hot hatch tends to attract a certain sort of driver..normally young guys who are more than happy to let the car demonstrate what it's best at...HOOLIGANISM!
We want you to tell us which 20+ year old hot hatch you love the most and why. We'll get your juices flowing with a few legendary examples!
We've got to start with the Renault 5 turbo, haven't we?
Ali G's favourite - the R5 GTT - what a monster!
The Escort RS Turbo
Get your wallets out..here comes a classic Ford!
Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9
The 205 GTi... uhh, very well modelled
Volkswagen Golf GTi MK1
Here it is - genesis - a MK1 Golf GTi. The instigator of the Hot Hatch revolution of the 1980's
Metro turbo
If you're sniggering at this one, be ashamed! The phenomenal Metro Turbo
So there's a few options to get you thinking - but what would you go for? What do the real car fans think of when the think of retro hot hatches?

Lancia delta hf turbo, the little 1.6 fwd brother of the intergrale. awesome wee cars. so maybe it's a bit sketchy over 150kph, maybe it wheel spins when driving through a puddle at 50kph. and yes it torque steers horribly. but there's no car that I used to own and miss as much as the little hf turbo
