hot hatches are like fast food... awesome at times but i feel i've outgrown them...
some might say i just got old, but i think i've learned to appreciate the finer things in life.
it all depends on how you justify things for yourself i guess ...

Bwahaha another "petrol head" who's driven ferraris, Porsches, bugattis, f16 fighter jets etc. and yet post after post is only interested in what it can beat in a straight line. Just buy a super bike and be done with it!

Good find 👍

I for one am so sick of everyone always trying to compare EVERYTHING to "hot" hatches...

I've never liked this whole "hot" hatch brigade from the start... the person that thought of that name should be shot...!

All it did was to totaly screw up the way that people used to think about cars... and made people believe that if you own a "hot" hatch you have the ability to take out supercars I tell you...


Did this whole "hot hatch" (sh!t) realy KILL everything people used to love about cars...??

that guy's quite cool... </sarcasm>

he reminds me a bit of the one dude here in WHK that complained on Facebook about the owner of a certain Ferrari 458 Spyder not wanting to dice him in his Skyline GTS (hotted up, of course).

All I kept thinking while reading that was "Why would he? He's got nothing to prove... he drives a car that virtually everyone wants..."

Welcome to the forum!!

I'm keen to find out more. I've got a std spec and I'd like to fit an OEM cruise control. We're planning a trip to the Cape soon, and I think with a speed control I could save 5k in speeding tickets on that trip alone... Do you have any more info?

i'm convinced ppl with STD models get more speeding tickets b/c it's almost impossible to look at how fast you're going...
