FWD hatches thread

Redpill me on fwd hatches

Renault megane and clio sport versions
Mini Cooper
Mazda 3 (looks too big)
Peugeot 206 gti


So far gti 206 is best bango per bucko but its too old...

I wanted a mini but apparently they break... Now I need a reliable post 2000 hatch around 5k.

Suggest some other ones if you have, Im no expert on these kind of cars..

Also, why is golf so good? They are overpriced imo, at least in Europe

Suzuki Swift Sport

its supposed that the new model will mount the same engine 1.4 Turbo from the Vitara and S-Cross

VW Polo

It's also supposed to weigh less than 1000kg.

Sport trims weigh over 1t

Shit, i'm tempted to trade in my cr-z for one.

Avoid Mazdaspeed 3. Read up about zoom zoom boom.

great, I hate the look. Too big and bloated.
nothing some carbon cannot fix further down the line

Thanks for reminding me that it exists.

They are overpriced because they are good.

>5 doors

DELETE THIS

5 doors hatches have better structural rigidity retard

>3 doors don't have b pillars

k dummy

they have but they are pushed back compromising torsional rigidness.

;^)

Me and that user win. (IM a new user)

it's not the pillars that are crucial when it comes to 3 vs 5 door

ooh thats and old meme, didn't hear that in a long
time.

But these Swifts look awesome, i'd consider buying one. But then again, keep those French hatches on the downlow, i don't want anybody knowing how many sweet deals you can have on the second hand market

>implying they aren't pushed back into the optimal position for rigidity because they don't have to compromise for rear doors

Check m8 atheists. B^)

It's the extra doors pigfat, right?

damn seems like i opened a can of worms again

what is more rigid?

Megane Sport is rapid when driven skilfully and lethal when not. A very unforgiving car.

had to fix formating

The Peugeot's 3-banger sounds the best.
The Clio sport in their metallic yellow looks the best.
If there's a new hot Swift get on that.

If you just want a

into the trash it goes

Minis break? Please elaborate, I was considering one as wel

I was looking into them on forums and seems many cars are lemons, parts are pretty expensive too.

Everybody says - they are great when they work but horrible on the wallet when you have to fix em.

Few peeps didnt have problems, so it depends if you want to risk it..

I never looked into fwd hatches, more into coupes and 3 series but bmw is too old and expensive in my price bracket, for what performance you get. And living in the city I want to be able to park it anywhere.

Heard good things about smart car too.

Minis are cramped inside. If you are taller than 6'1" you'll have issues with comfort.
I have a clio which is smaller and lighter, yet has a more spacious interior.

Clio sport?

How are they to drive, own? Price of parts? Reliable? Can you do stuff yourself?

I like the clio sport.
