10 CHEAP Hot Hatchbacks With INSANE PERFORMANCE! (CITY EDITION)

[@azzakean]

Kicks things off with an 83bhp kia....INSANE!

[@lilpinns4062]

He forgot that kia did the gt-s in a 1.0 litre turbo kicking out a 100hp I don’t know why he didn’t include that one. That would have made more sense than the 1.25 and would make it more fair🤣

[@BrabusSmart]

I own the 2008 Brabus Smart 451. It's only 770kg. 1.0L Turbo Mitsubishi engine. Super reliable and fun. Not many left on the roads so it's nice to own one.

[@XTheAndresikoX]

Shocking suzuki swift sport didnt make it to the list ZC32S/ZC33S such an underrated car, the reliability is superB and the aftermarket support is pretty great too maybe not the fastest but not everything should be based on raw hp to the wheels imo there's other things to consider. As a full time mechanic and working on cars everyday I wouldn't pick any of these maybe the kia or the s1 at push but still wouldn't be my pick unless you have tons of spare money because most of the cars on this list are stupidly unreliable, maybe the forums don't say it but most italian/french suffer with coolant leaks, oil leaks, Electrical issues, coolant leaks, turbo issues, early suspension wear, silly cosmetic wear and list goes on. If you want bank for your buck invest on jdm or N/A (Kia proceed gt maybe worth a metion, not the most city friendly car)

[@tonydixon2684]

Those twingos are reliable, not great build quality but they're pretty built proof if you look after. I wouldn't took the pug/cut 1.6t engine, theyre crap.

[@danhamtv774]

1st Gen Yaris T sport for me is the one.

[@Ellis_B]

I'd go with that

[@joobie1000]

Were on our 2nd abarth, owned our turismo for just over 7 years, now we got a 2021 monster yamaha ltd edition, 1 of 2000 made, iv owned civic type r gt's in the past but since me & the mrs retired the abarth suits us perfectly

[@liamwarren7590]

Suprised you didn't mention clio rs 220

[@connorlangan9745]

I’ve owned the Adam and I Must say it’s a fantastic car definitely get one with the bucket seats (heated) and the chassis is fairly stiff but comfortable enough

[@Lonewolf_rider]

The kia picanto is also available with a 1.0 tgdi engine and is way faster compared with the 1.2 engine. When removing the restrictions on it it has 142 hp.

[@lilpinns4062]

That’s exactly what i thought, he should have put 1.0 turbo instead tbh It just makes it more fair instead of the kia seeming like it’s the slowest on there poor kia

[@Hali88]

Little correction: the MiTo is not a rebodied 500, it's a rebodied Punto

[@grahamclark7481]

No mention of the fiesta st , far better than most of these on this list !

[@Ibby_M5]

[@huzcer]

legend

[@Gilaric]

Wow no Suzuki Swift Sport

[@FynnJADY-p6k]

im turning 17 and cant find any good first cars that are cheap in insurance, could you do an updated top ten first car video? would alot of people. many thanks

[@szymonkryszczyszyn1710]

You need to do lots of quotes all cars are different for insurance for everybody

[@Eternal_mvw]

Day one of asking for cheap insurance but good performance cars

[@nizamahmed5073]

As an owner of a 453 0.9T such great fun and can get a nice auto one for around 6k. Deffo a shout

[@maxmouse3]

0.9L making 100+ hp and 0-60 in 9.2 secs. I know this is not particularly fast but compared to cars from the 80s and 90s it's not too bad I like the video :)

[@joeyoung7600]

Honourable mention, fiat panda 100hp. Not got insane performance but great fun to drive and you can pick them up for 2k 👍

[@mjbadboy14]

I knew the S1 would take number 1

[@svetoslavivanov6882]

Why no one in the world talk about Smart for four Brabus? 5 door, 177ps, curb weight 1020kg with a sun roof. Magnificent small hot hatch and superb daily?!

[@svetoslavivanov6882]

Nope. I am an owner of such. The machine is manual only. Very rare those days. Great work by Brabus.

[@9N3]

@@svetoslavivanov6882because the colt CZT/ Ralliart and version R look 10x better

[@driveonthewildside]

What about the 3rd gen renault twingo GT? It’s very similar to the brabus fortwo (similar engine etc) but it comes in a 5 door configuration with a very spacious interior and just looks way cooler in my opinion.

[@shabba890]

Why not just feature the uk colt ralliart

[@adraqdemic]

And where’s that INSANE PERFORMANCE that you mentioned in the title? Click bait? For sure..

[@DSG-farts-connoisseur]

0-60 in 11 seconds is actually insane like insanely slow

[@jmcooney2000]

Why don't you post a video then instead of crying like a little girl 👋💦

[@andrebottker4891]

So.. You saw a VW UP and were expecting INSANE PERFORMANCE... 😂

[@skykid4000]

Well, to be fair yes he was. Because that’s what it says. Going on the basis that since they don’t have “insane performance” you don’t expect it to be standard if it states that it does have “insane performance” get it? 😆

[@9N3]

Tbf the colts can make easily make up to 250hp 😂 if that helps

[@alexanderjosmith]

R58 is pretty fun

[@marcusweearliuk8549]

Or R59 Cooper S

[@ctv4646]

I recently had my mk7 golf r stolen. Could you make a video of some fun cars I could get with 5 years driving experience with 0 NCB

[@nieciej1981]

supercharged pls ❤❤❤❤

[@XxGreedyMagiiCxX]

For those prices I’d much prefer a Toyota Glanza V

[@BNN_BreakingTwitter]

My 2018 Adam 1.4S has just passed 14K beautiful car but now thinking of a Polo GTi auto for an easier drive being a boy racer aged 75 😂

[@ApothecaryTerry]

RIght power for a hot hatch is 200/tonne, so anything from 150 to 250 really. Of course, mine has 270 + decat so 224/tonne but probably 235/tonne really, but it's also stupid 😆 That Kia (edit: the 1L turbo version) can apparently be chipped to 140hp pretty easily, which could be interesting. The S1 seems like the winner's choice on this list, but I suspect it's way too fast for city use and probably far less fun than the Renault...

[@SimeonMihalkov]

zc33s is the real old school hot hatch and was not listed

[@skykid4000]

The right power for a hatchback? I don’t think it exists these days. I suppose when it starts to understeer? Chassis can’t take it? Who knows. My Pulsar GTIR is @360 and I think it’s enough. The chassis handles it quite well with tweaked camber, suspension and semi slicks.

[@shahtayyib]

I wouldn't recommend an Up/Mii/Citigo if you want to drive a fun car. Wireless steering kills all feel and eliminates a lot of fun.

[@charlesgarrett3283]

If money is no object then it's the Yaris GR. End of discussion.

[@fatbelly27]

Didn't Kia do a turbocharged Picanto?

[@jonathanthorpe1653]

They sadly discontinued it on the latest facelift. Now only one engine option.

[@zaink7037]

Nice shout out for the Up GTI. Id still wait till most drop below the 10k mark to consider them good value. I have a mid spec VW Up and can say they are fun little cars to drive with the right wheel size. I have 17s on mine which kinda does ruin the ride and handling. Nice and cheap to run too with decent storahe space

[@samurai-capybara]

My 1.9 Peugeot 205 gti would have embarrassed most of those cars, especially when it had the Mi16 engine in it.

[@andyferguson4533]

A 205 gti with the mi16 engine wouldn't touch that S1

[@KieKie-D]

0:08 im not sure to who this is aim at but £10,000 is not a ''nice cheap hot hatch''

[@simonh870]

These are warm hatches at best, most are not even Korma level.

[@mattylamb9194]

These are mostly ugly, especially the interiors. Take me back to the 90s please!

[@stevenhearnden6103]

My wife's 1.0 Suzuki Swift would batter most of these. 😂

[@GaryPatefield]

Who would choose any of these crap machines .

[@MISTRZPRAKTYKI]

VW UP GTI drive IT from 2019🎉
