Cars That Made The 90s - Part 3 - Hot Hatch

#hothatch #90shothatch #golfgti #renaultcliowilliams #fiestarsturbo #influx
In this episode of ‘Cars That Made The 90s’, we caught up with Sean, a proud Volkswagen Golf GTi 16v owner, Peter, the lucky owner of a rare Renault Clio Williams 3, and Dave, a Ford Fiesta RS Turbo fanatic.
The nineties was truly the era of the Hot Hatch. While the concept itself was born in the mid ‘70s with the Golf GTI, and the actual words made famous (or should that be infamous?) in the ‘80s with the introduction of many ‘originals’ like the Escort RS Turbo, Renault 5 GTT, Astra GTE and Peugeot 205 GTI.With these cars becoming more affordable, and with second and third generation models hitting the streets, the ‘90s is where the Hot Hatch went mainstream.

It's cars that made the 90s, not cars made in the 90s.

Very special time's in the 80's the 205 gti was the car to have 😊

I’m 20 and man, am I sad I missed out on a whole 3 generations of cars that I’ve grew up to fell in love with. Me and my mate constantly debate over the new M3/ porche / newer comfortable cars vs the old school monsters and I’m sorry ale pal but I’m taking any old school hot hatch over an M140I IDK if it’s brand new 😂

[@althejazzman]

There's a lot of cheesy opinions from these owners, because everyone has the most nostalgia for the era they grew up in, and every generation will say that the cars of their youth were better, more connected, simpler etc. Personally I love 80's cars because manufacturers were adding turbos to everything so they were raw, crude and full of character. I love 90's cars because It's the peak of engineering before electronics completely took over, but they are reliable and still very approachable by the home mechanic. Modern hot hatches are too dull because you just point and squirt and let the traction control, automatic gearbox, and variable everything do it for you.

Your wrong I love 2000s and 90s and I’m from 2013

[@BlakeTimmins-zs9gs]

Ye the Honda TYPE R EP3 is my fav hatchback

[@shanethrelfall416]

Don’t think a Golf Gti should be compared to the Clio or Firsta The other two smash the Golf out of the water

[@simonelt7317]

Renault 5 turbo!

[@iamyourfuture808]

Naaa… first clio W is the one to have

[@EvoraGT430]

Fiesta still looking awful, then!

[@iamyourfuture808]

Yeah, but that’s down to the “mods” the owner has made here. Standard Fiesta turbos don’t look too bad.
