Previous Thread: >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; Hot Hatches have been a thing for the US since the 90s, took a dip in the mid 00s and are gaining momentum again.
2nd for it's still being measured against the Fiesta ST, the gold standard of hot hatches.

I'd trade in my FiST for a Type R if I somehow managed to get MSRP value on my trade-in. Interior looks really good and 235HP is a bit lacking for the long boring straight roads of Ontario.

I hope I can fit in the Type-R. If I can I'm definitely going to buy it.

Eh you won't get MSRP, but it's held value than a lot of other new econoboxes.
I'm not sure how much quicker the Type R would feel to be honest (feel, FEEL, I said FEEL you mongrels). Fiesta ST just delivers the feels.
Type R also just seems so factory riced, I like adding tasteful cosmetic alterations. I would at least need to wait to see what kind of aftermarket support it's getting, and how close to the limit it's already running.

I wish they sold the new Scirocco here in the US

I hope people will be asking decent amounts for them in 4/5 years because they "don't want a 3 cylinder ST"
