Hatchlife thread: Gods gift to man edition

Thats never going to happen. Like I said, FWD is only a problem for bench racers.

This.

Look at actual track times and tell me that the GTI and ST aren't amazing cars. And if FWD bothers you that much, get the R or the RS. I've got a soft spot for tuned hatchbacks lol

High mileage MK6 GTi (60k and up) or Fiesta ST? What yall hatchbros think. Will be my daily for 2+ years most likely and I will tune it but not go too crazy since it will be my only car.

60k is hardly "high mileage" for a MKVI. Fiesta ST if you are under 25.

Hatches are for teenage girls
Patriarchs drive wagons.

Wagons are for hipster faggots who cling to an """identity""" consisting of liking things that everyone else hates.

CUV's (Mazda CX-3), are hipster cars, dickweed.

who hates wagons

sup fags

>bench racers
That's bucket seat racer to you, faggot.

OP you forgot

Budget is 14k, I like the GTi but it is less fuel efficient and more costly to maintain than the FiST, plus its a much softer car in stock form.

Plus im trying to get a car that wont get me in trouble, already got busted once for goin 45 over one time. And the GTi is fast as shit with a tune so probs not what I want.

Have to test drive both but im heavily leaning for a FiST over a GTi atm. Seems more practical and the fun choice

here's my stage 2 mk5, its autotragic but the DSG is really nice

Your logic is a bit skewed, but hey, knock yourself out.

>but the DSG is really nice...

Said no one ever.

If hatchbacks are soooo practical the why aren't there any hatchbacks larger than the golf? (Excluding opel/vauxhall signum, renault vel satis)

if you nees more room there are estate versions of the focus st and golf user

I just picked up a 9th gen Civic vti-s hatch. I like it.

Opinions on the polo? I always liked these cute little boxes and I’m thinking about getting one as a small grocery getter. Btw I actually like the 5 door better then the 3 door one

Shit engine.

I hate these wheels

That's called a wagon

t. literally mjet

but also MAir

But it is. It's one of the most problematic engine blocks VW has ever made.

Lol. DSG is wonderful.

...

Anyway, spent the whole morning washing it and removing the side stripes. Much cleaner now.

reminder: 5 door hatch > 3 door hatch

>removing the side stripes. Much cleaner now.

christ almighty, when will you kill yourself

One of the ugliest and stupidest cars in existence
>muh half door

Naw you're a faggot.

Because at some point being larger stops being more practical.

Hatch only

Reporting in.

Hatchback life is v fun.

Is that the Tesco in Crawley?

What would be considered high mileage for a GTI? And are Volkswagen's as unreliable and costly to repair as people say they are?

Jeremy Clarkson's daily is a MK VII DSG GTI.
It can't be that bad.

great car desu

5 door hatch life

why did ford-controlled volvo kill the C30?

Lads, should I buy a VW Polo Mk4 or a Fiat Grande Punto?

At least it doesn't look like every other car on the road

i really want a 5-speed k8 mx-3 but that is almost impossible to find

that's not a hot hatch panamabro.

wait fuck, i just realized this is hatchback general.

ignore my previous post.

What do you guys think of this Mazda? Good deal?

I think they look good and the door design is good.

if only i wasn't a poorfag, i'd grab this in a beat

...

Of the cheapest hatchbacks in the NA market, I like the fiesta and the rio the best. I think the rio looks a little better (and it doesn't have the fake rake body lines), has a faster acceleration and higher hp, and is smaller but with more space inside. However it has worse mileage and i'm sure people will call me a gayboy if I buy one.

Nope, MK

I literally love this, user.. You are witnessed

How good are Veloster turbos? Are the automatics okay?

Hatchbacks are cuckmobiles and don't have any more room than a sedan.

Wagons are the best.

Back again with my '12 GTI. Great car out on the track, made me grin at the kind of cars I was overtaking.
I'm pushing 263 whp and 318 tq out of mine on a custom tune. Sitting at 63k miles without a single problem, but I am going to replace the timing chains and tensioner soon just in case

Fuck yea

I hear good things about them, never driven one myself though

Aww, is someone mad they have to ride the bus 'cause they haven't saved enough GBP to get mommy and daddy to buy them babby's first car?

>VROOM VROOM

> Why aren't there?
> Excluding these exceptions
> REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You park like a taxi driver.

I had a MVI GTI then a FiST, and i quickly switched to a MK VII GTI.

Ford Mondeo.

Going just to atm around 2a.m., it's drop off/pick-up anyway
