My outright favourite here is the Golf R, but considering they cost more than 40K with options, the i20N is the moral victor. Looks good, drives great and has a manual! That's the kind of 'hot hatch' you'd want to daily.

Strange comparison with so many levels of apples to oranges. Almost every car was a different use case and price? Reviews a fat Fiesta ST, then verbally talked about the Fiesta ST throughout the whole i20 section as being it's direct competitor yet no sign of a Fiesta. As a viewer, that's odd.

I can understand the word "affordable" for i20N and puma, however golf r is nowhere close to the meaning of this word. Also, you compare golf r vs 128ti and i20N, I mean... A 100 horse power difference doesn't make sense in a car comparison, especially vs awd and fwd. Also, there is no type r, even though it's not affordable. Bad title choice I guess

@Andrew yeah he's just saying this video seems a bit detached from reality. that disgusting 1 series Bmw starts at 44k€ in my country, that's not affordable at all. The i20N costs "only" 25k, that's what you would actually call affordable. Mid-class citizens don't want to spend 44k on a useless ugly small hatchback. Looking at the cars I instantly knew which one had won, fast forward, was right, checking out now. You might be right that this is a reasonable comparsion, but in that case my domestic (German) brands showed up with a knife to a battleship fight.

Sorry guys, I usually love your videos, opinions and reviews, but this is a properly bad video. 1. Caterham in a hot hatch competition? Rubbish. 2. 2:34 - Some shots have really bad image stabilization, this is one of them. 3. 3:00 - "proper dials" - just because it's a base spec - you can also have it with a full digital speedometer 4. 7:00 - Press department should not provide you guys with such a poorly specced car(s). Golf 8 R is miles ahead as soon as you spec it with the Akrapovic exhaust, the performance pack with Nürburgring mode and more. 5. 9:08 - Comparing it to the GTI which isn't on the test? GTI does not try to be the "hard-hardcore hot hatch", this is just crap. 6. 15:20 - Yes, the same engine but it would be interesting to know that the Puma has 236 lb-ft vs. 214lb ft in the Fiesta. 7. 16:54 - "It wants to be driven hard" = It is an exciting thing? It is. The rotating back is (as mentioned), is awesome, none of the mentioned VAG / BMW cars is agile like that. Ford put quite an aggressive chassis in a crossover and he is still not amused, while he criticized the cars before for trying to be too hardcore? The sound is exciting inside and outside, there is not just "a growl" inside but it also sounds sporty outside. You can hear the turbo really nicely which is again very exciting. The others Golf without Akra, Leon, 128ti are super muted outside. 8. 18:52 - James' audio is really bad 9. 19:35 - "Feels more like a Golf GTI?" No it clearly does not. The torque converter auto (vs. DSG), the grown-up interior, the steering feel (he even mentioned that) the engine and the well-rounded passive dampers make that car way more grown-up than the GTI. Maybe it's more GTI than it's predecessors with RWD, but he does not mention that point. 10. 20:56 - Great to see them having a bit of a laugh, that's what the show should've been like. 11. 24:15 - "The rear is trying to overtake you" - This is a the most fun feature on the Fiesta / Puma ST and again James is criticizing that point. I'm not sure that this editor is the perfect choice for a hot hatch shootout. 12. "Britain's best affordable driver's car" - I thought the video was about Hot Hatches? The Golf is with 40k+ not really "affordable" anymore

And oh yes don't get me started on the katherham hot hatch. Because of the Golf R and Focus RS performance cars elevated so much and all you do is say how not dialed in it is and how its not fun in every review... Not gonna mention you comparing front wheel drive to all wheel drive, and even got that scaffolding.. Than theres comparing the prices/class which still don't make sense Long story short, just unsubscribed cause you're comparing the wtomg cars and you don't even appreciate them for their intended purpose or what they are. Really crap review of this cars on comparison to eatch other, what they are and what a real enthusiast would want to make their ideal fun everyday hot hatch. If thats what this review was about.

It's more suited to critiqueing battery powered lawnmowers than a drivers car and why put the Caterham in the mix when it's not an everyday car. A Toyota Yaris GR would win this if it was included. The only redeeming part was the verdict although after slating the Golf you still covered yourselves and put it 2nd......

I like the review, although, there isn't much of a comparisson to the Puma ST ( which I own proudly). Puma ST is the best car I've driven in years ( coming from 208 Gti and VW Gti ). Fun and functionality combined.

Great job Autocar! Looking forward to your verdict on the upcoming Toyota GR 86. So many press launch videos from Japan and America by now, I wonder what's taking Toyota UK so long, when they did a very subtle UK launch at the Goodwood Festival of Speed...Unfortunately The GR 86 be ignored by people who prefer turbocharged hothatcbacks (because all they care about is straight line speed and PCP Finance deals) or people who want a more raw experience like a Caterham, but I see it as the perfect sweet spot between the those two types of cars in that spectrum.

I am a big fan of the GR Yaris, but I think that it may work against the GR86's success. I love both of these GR products that Akio san got involved with, but I think most people here will only be interested in 0-60 times and 1/4 mile numbers, so the GR86 may be sadly ignored. I hope both cars get the attention and praise they deserve by car enthusiasts.

The golf r is a over 40k and classed as a luxury car now, so it’s not that affordable. However with lease deals it may be common as mud as with the mk7

I agree with the findings but i must say when the golf r as a standard car now starts at just over 40k so you'd have to pay much higher road tax 'affordable' might be a bit of a stretch for many when in this group
