The wrx isnt really considered a classic hot hatch in europe. Also being on the impreza platform with its origin as a small sedan.
The 'hatchback' shape wrx is more of a compact estate than a classical hatchback (for instance having a D pillar, although some newer hatches seem to get that now too), and I think never have been made as a 3 door (instead a 2 door coupe, makes sense as the impreza is originally a sedan platform)

In Australia the WRX was the car that defined the hot-hatch category for a decade or two |

The poll is based upon personal experiences. Of course it can't be complete. After 24 votes there are just 5 for "Other" so the selection shouldn't be too bad...

Here in europe there has always been an abundance of sooped up b or c class hatchbacks from virtually any brand. Most brands have at least 2 or sometimes 3 models in their range, so at any time there are maybe 20 or 30 on the market in varying popularity.

Don't get me wrong, this is a fun car on the canyons, auto-crossing I'm sure it's hilariously good fun, but it just wasn't ideal. Turbo lag is going to be an issue for some as well likely. |

Doh🤔
Thats goat as in.... https://itstillruns.com/gto-called-goat-6659054.html Which actually brings this thread full circle, the best hot hatch is ofcourse a Prancing Horse! Tough to decide between an FF or GTC Lusso thou! I do wish bmw did make a tru competitor to the FF or GTC, till then im enjoying my m35i which is as close as I could get, the VW while cute is just too small |

As a previous Z3 M Coupe owner, I want to live the FF/GTC, but it's huge and ugly. I'd have a Breadvan through.

As for 575, great great looking but they cant match a Porsche nor Ferrari in any way from a driving perspective. They are getting cheap now too... Pcar first and hopefully a Prancing Horse when the time is right |

I want a manual V12, I could care less what's faster or handles better. Unfortunately, while prices for the dumb single clutch autos have dropped, manuals continue to go higher.

Perhaps looks for an e63 S85, that V10 was massive and you can find a manual... Flat6 with an MT is all I need |

Hot Hatches live a long tradition. I drove a GTI myself. But I'd choose a BMW anytime...
I think you really can't ask for a full compedium of hot hatches here - the poll is offers the most important manufacurers so far so what... |
