[@iliaslamari7315]

*You could easily make an part 2 of these 2000's hot hatchbacks video series.* _For example the:_ - Lupo gti 1.6 16v - Suzuki swift sport 1.6 - Opel corsa 16v 1.8 gsi - Skoda fabia RS - Audi s3 - Golf V gti - Citroën c2 VTS - Fiat punto abarth 1.8 16v - Seat ibiza 1.8 20vt cupra - Alfa romeo 147 gta 3.2 v6!

[@timothydaly2152]

Ilias Lamari yes I would love to see a part 2

[@eziore44]

And Ford SportKA

[@aaardyyy]

Toyota Corolla T-Sport 1.8 VVTL-i

[@joshuafinch5539]

Fiat bravo 1.4 t jet, (same engine as the abarth punto)

[@derbisenda1330]

Ilias Lamari Mitshibushi colt CZT

[@Djmarcod]

The underdog Corolla T Sport should be in here for sure

[@namenlos961]

I own one and you're absolutely right. Comparable concept to the civic type r in this list.

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

Also don't sleep on its NADM counterparts, the 05' Matrix XRS and Pontiac Vibe GT, also powered by the 2ZZ-GE.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

Those cars are real hot hatches not cars like the amg a45 Hot hatches are meant to be light and agile not luxurious and overpowered

[@clipsonic4415]

Charlie Charlot a45 not really a hatches more like a compact berline

[@daltonsikhosana8275]

I think there’s a new group emerging called hyper hatches which includes the a45, rs3 etc

[@GaetansChannel]

Also the last true lion, the peugeot 106 16v

[@shinryohji]

Sadly, as cool as it is (and it is a cool boy racer), it's not a car from the early 2000's.

[@GaetansChannel]

@@shinryohji yeh, you're right. It's sad that the 107/108 can't even compete with the 106 :/

[@Hipas_Account]

@@shinryohji the GTi came in 96, and i think it ran till like 01 or around those parts.

[@shuttzi9878]

Lol what about 206 GTI and RC They're basically rally cars in disguise

[@Brunmed]

I'm so happy I have a car that's on these list and it sounds amazing! Mini Cooper R53 (2005) :)

[@carlocastiglioni1072]

The best one

[@MCMonsterbuilder]

Damn I need me one of those Clios and put ITB's on it. That second Clio Clip sounded awesome.

[@J_S591]

I bought my first R53 Cooper S today. It’s a 2005, so far I’m not disappointed, it’s quicker than I thought it would be.

[@knispel1066]

Nice vid, but I think you can add the Mitsubishi colt czt/ralliart and the smart forfour brabus with a little 1.5 turbo, 150 hp and a lot of fun! They are unknown by most people.

[@КлиментЦонков]

If Honda puts a K20 in the Honda fit aka jazz, everybody will love it and buy it.

[@gqh007]

Just put the Type R engine in there

[@bogdanbosiokovic8858]

you are reading my mind...and that's quite scary XD anyway i want to make a k20 honda fit race car irl once i have like racing licence

[@basithph8958]

That would have been awesome

[@КлиментЦонков]

[@DeeZeeGR]

The swift had the best sounding red line!!

[@Vojinz]

For me real Suzuki Swift is GTI 1.3 1995 gosh i miss that car and sound 😍

[@bnnttdenn]

My 2018 Fiesta ST the USA version 197HP/217HP on overboost is a quick fun little car and the USA ones were all four doors less sporty looking but more convenient for an every day use car mine was $22,000 USD. new .. Quick and great handeling car..

[@DanteTheAbyssalBeing]

Ibiza Cupra 1.8T would be my choice in this class. Interior quality isn't great but the engine is a dream, it's got a nice tight chassis, looks and sounds gorgeous and it's seriously fast for the money.

[@basithph8958]

EP3 is best hatch❤️

[@juhajuaranen9576]

from this yeah but ek is better :)

[@bones6978]

@@juhajuaranen9576 ep3 is better in every way.

[@TachySteve]

I own an ep3 in the us. It was neutered here in the states. That’s why I swapped a k20a2 and a 6-speed in mine. I love that car!

[@apexseal2811]

Whoa The Clio RS sounds like a Honda engine after passing 6k rpm!

[@bogdanbosiokovic8858]

Peugeot 206 GTi 180/RC deserves a spot on this list along some other cars.

[@io504]

Suzuki Swift sport, amazing car 😁

[@Gerwin_dutchie]

io504 do you own one too? 😁😎

[@shinryohji]

I love my Renault Sport Clio so much, especially since it has the Cup chassis.

[@irocket]

There should be mentioned Seat Ibiza as well. 6K2 (1999-2002) with 1.8T 180HP and 6L with same engine and maybe 1.9 TDI 160HP too, placing between 1.8T 150HP (8,4s 0-100km/h, 216km/h max) and 1.8T 180HP (7,3s 0-100km/h 230km/h) with 7,6s 0-100km/h and top speed od 220km/h

[@mateuszzimon8216]

He forgot all small VAG's with 1.8T

[@melmit]

Absolutely added to T-sport , 323 mps and czt ;)

[@EdgyNumber1]

That Clio sounds angry. I had a girlfriend from Marseilles that who a bit like that. Fun times 👍

[@basithph8958]

I miss the old Cooper S especially with the supercharger

[@aussiebloke609]

I miss the old _old_ Cooper S...with the 1275cc engine and no turbo. Slow my today's standards, they were a giant killer in their time, and still IMO handle better than any car out there today. A really phenomenal design. Plus, I'm old. :-) Edit: And yes, I'm aware that they weren't actually hatchbacks. LOL

[@basithph8958]

aussiebloke609 even to this day there are good hot hatches like the Golf R, Focus RS, Civic Type R, and Veloster N The Yaris GRMN has to be the best hot hatch of today’s standards especially with not only a supercharged engine but it’s affordable price it was limited edition too But I miss old hot hatches too

[@aussiebloke609]

Yeah, there's plenty of good ones out there. I currently have a '16 Veloster Turbo (not an N, so it's more of a "warm hatch"...but it's stick shift, so still fun to drive.) But if you've ever had the chance to really drive an old Morris or Austin Cooper S, you'll know what "go-kart handling" really means. They are still head and shoulders above what's available today - even more amazing that it was designed as an efficient city car in the late '50s.

[@basithph8958]

aussiebloke609 the go-kart handling is one thing that I love in a hot hatch And the N is better than the Turbo imo

[@mikehorb9485]

All cool cars, it was funny watching the coolant gauge rise as the Suzuki made those redline pulls. Upgrade your radiators!

[@bign3ck]

Love the mini cooper s r53, it's a great drivers car, 2005 non sunroof models are the best.

[@andrewingry2986]

got a 2005 cooper s 35.000 miles love it great comment mini today not mini any more bigger than a focus quality car if you take care inside mine like new respect

[@mrdayumfine109]

I've owned a few cars... Including multiple Turbo Imprezas, MR2 Rev3 Turbo, RX8, and currently a Legacy GTB Twin Turbo manual (280bhp from factory) And none of them are as fun as the EP3 (Type R) or R53 (Cooper S) I owned. The Cooper S had a simple intake, intercooler and reduced pulley, and it used to best my friends S2000 in the straights. Not bad for £500 worth of mods to a £2000 car....

[@kingofohio5689]

I'm gonna miss my k11 nissan micra 😢....

[@MRHOTCAKE]

I have two turbo hatches (Sonic RS and Audi A1 both are 1.4T), and this video was awesome none of mine appear but I got new ideas so I can buy one of these cars, you should add ibiza FR/Cupra and Audi S3 (early 2000´s 1.8T version),

[@MrErikw26]

The fiesta st was up until 2017, mine is a 2016, they came with a 1.6L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine putting out about 200hp at the crank

[@magic5479]

For when a video of the 10 best fast lighter cars - 100 horsepower

[@doc.voltold4232]

Am I the only one who loves the droning sound of small turbocharged four bangers? Add a little pop at shift change and it becomes a soothing melody

[@achmadfajar6845]

I'd still prefer screaming high revving N/A 4 cyl like the K20 in the EP3 or Supercharger whine like in the MINI and old Polo's because Turbo is rather hard to keep it spooled all the time especially for beginners like myself

[@doc.voltold4232]

@@achmadfajar6845 that's why they are fun. It's not easy to keep them spool up and you have to resort to left foot braking. Once you get your hold on them you blow away any NA

[@achmadfajar6845]

Yes but for a beginner it'll be a bit handfull, also in my place there are n't much small turbo cars to play with

[@PedroMartins-kq9rq]

Corolla T Sport The car everyone forgets but is an awesome car

[@hershellumiere]

We only got 2 of those 6 you mentioned. that honda and the mini were really cool when they came out.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I know the Honda and maybe the Suzuki can get beat on for many miles without much issue, the others? Minis are not known for long term reliability driven normally for sure.

[@CodeZero2012]

I was surprised that the Volvo C30 Polestar wasn’t on the list (I used to have a normal C30 and I loved it)

[@kleener014]

[@norberts.432]

To be honest, the next generation Fiesta can also reach weight below 1 tone after a little weight reduction (in fact versions with 1.25 and 1.4 litre engines are even lighter and they have already less than 1 tone, but they are hard to call a hothatch having at most 96HP)...anyway hot hatches are extremely good machines and in literally every competition I took part, the winners were hatches: in 2000cc group Fiesta Mk5 or Clio Sport, Civics were dominants in 1600cc series (of course all of them had B-series). Other cars like BMW's or Celicas weren't able to reach at least similar stage time as hatches. I tried couple of times to start in some rounds with a stock Mk6 Fiesta in 1400cc class...and to be honest if I managed to take 3rd place once and 1st twice racing with modded cars with rollcages, rally suspension and semislick tires, then I wonder, how fast I could be after stiffening suspension, reducing some weight and shortening the gears (cause the stock one sucks XD).

[@bastitherunner]

Missed the MKIV Golf R32✌

[@FabioGs007]

Hey what about make a good and well informed video about the 80's hot hatches like the 205gti, Uno turbo mk1, R5gt turbo, Austin metro turbo, fiesta turbo, corsa gsi, ax gti, Y10 turbo... and others? There are many real hot hatches of that era. Cheers

That Fiesta ST is not a fun car. I can only vote on the ones I have tryed and I can certainly tell u after trying that ST it was complete shit. The Type R also imo was not fun it lacked ALOT of torque.
