What hatch do you have? What are you looking to buy? What's your favorite hatchback of all time? Why do you like them? etc.
I've been craving a Golf GTI for a while to use as a fun daily driver. Getting rid of an expensive mistake of a 2013 Jeep I bought last year with thankfully no further loss. Not longer after signing the buyer's remorse set it and I still wish I'd just gotten something fucking used and cheap. Long unrelated story, bad idea, but that's over and now I have a strong taste for these cars.
Have my eye on a few used Golfs and hopefully I can pay cash for one soon. Also looking for a Civic Si but they're nowhere to be found. I might be talked into a nice Focus SVT if I can find one but they actually seem about as rare as Si's for some reason.
>drive it hard through Toronto traffic like a madman >get at least a foot of air over a crest while going 190kph >got sideswiped by a French Canadian and had to get a door + sideskirt replaced (extra panel gap makes me mad every time I see it) >hydroplaned over a puddle on a wet track and had to get towed out of the mud with 2 other cars >hit 80kph while 2 people sat in the trunk with the hatch open and their legs hanging out the back >fit 5 adults (all 6ft or taller) wearing full military kit inside of it >drove along a walking trail at night on a dare, which was just wide enough to fit my car >drive for 2 hours on backroads with snow over a foot deep (pic related)
It's been good fun. Still need to break my previous speed record, hit the drag strip, and put it on a dyno. I've done a bit of stuff to it
>full Mountune MR230 kit (turboback, intercooler, tune, intake) >Mountune short shifter + Boomba shifter/transmission bushings >Mountune rear motor mount (don't recommend, sometimes rattles) >Rokblokz mud flaps (fuck salt) >Firehawk Indy 500 UHP tires
Everyone thinks the painted calipers/stripes/interior lighting is aftermarket but it came pre-riced
Hot hatches are a huge step up from 150hp sedans that I'm used to, but I'd like an actual sports car with RWD next

I've wanted a Golf R or GTI for the longest time too, but recently did more research on them and found that their clutch slips a lot (even with everything stock)

That's the worst Golf GTI ever made, and the slowest, so I hope it's not one of those that you're hankering after.
I think the standard GTI (N/A) makes about 115hp!

The only reason I like hatchbacks is because they're the only modern non-sport car design that doesn't look like dogshit

Give up on the hatch and buy a hot wagon instead.

I have a '16 FoST. It's pretty nice, though I feel it could use a bit more power sometimes. Fortunately mountune exists....

What are the best years for a GTI? First I've heard of this. One of them I have bookmarked is an 05 like the OP but the rest are all older.
