Hi guys and girls,

Have spoke to plenty of people about what is the best sports hatchback out there. Obviously this is th ST forum but what other cars would you love to have if the ST wasn't around ?

Looked at the S3 and the 3.2 DSG but they were ridiculous to insure, even the 3.2 was over twice my RS to insure

Got the clios 172/182 and the newer 197
Supposedly very capable cars
The Corsa VXR is a very quick car with a remap

Renaultsport Clio 197, or the 200 if you can afford it. I test drove the 197 and it was epic, the 200 is supposed to be even better. Find one with the optional Recaro seats and your laughing as they are insanely comfortable. The 200 will be my next car I think

I thought Ford were now pricing themselves out, seems not, have you seen prices of these now !

Yes they are a bit steep, but arguably one of the best hot hatches around and aren't that much. There are 10 plate Clio's selling for around 13K, which I would pay. Or maybe I'm a bit deluded

The V6 is far more expensive than 13K for a decent one I would imagine. And I would prefer something newer for that money
