/hhg/ Hot Hatch General

A thread for our beloved econobox pocket rockets. Talk experiences, ask for advice and questions and generally shitpost about the Fiesta ST.

>"I'm going to make a stupid decision" edition
Should I replace my dead Clio with another lower mileage one, or should I give something else a try?

>What is a "Hot Hatch"?
A Hot Hatch is a manufacturer produced, performance oriented variant of a standard hatchback, designed for improved handling, increased top speed, acceleration and generally enhance the driving experience.

>Are all Hot Hatches FWD?
No. Whilst most Hot Hatches are FWD, some are AWD or even RWD.

>Isn't FWD shit?
No. Just because you can't get the arse out by stamping on the accelerator doesn't mean you can't have fun.

>Aren't Hot Hatches just for Europoors?
No; with the launch of the Fiesta and Focus ST to joining the MS3 and Abarth in the US, it seems like the Hot Hatch is beginning to take off on the other side of the Atlantic, but Europoors definitely have more choice.

>Is the Fiesta ST actually good?
The Fiesta ST is one of the best small hot hatches on offer at the minute; so yeah they're pretty good.

Fuck your cuckhatches

are the mountune catback and mp215 for the fist worth it? 2016fag here

I would like to know the thoughts on the FoST version myself.

are there any other decent hatchbacks that I can find for $1000 or under that aren't a geo metro? I can't seem to find any of them for sale within 50 miles of me.

I'm really debating between an ms3 and an older sti. What are some of the pros on the ms3?

I don't personally think so but it's definitely enough for some people. The catback could technically 'void your warranty' though you should read up on Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act if it's really concerning to you.

The MP215 is pretty expensive, gives very modest gains, and can't ever be resold. Not to mention the Ford dealership probably won't know what it is and try to deny your warranty claim anyways.

>still no 2016 compatible FiST intakes

fuck this gay earth

The MAP intake comes with the 'necessary additional lines' for the 2016 model.
