The GR Yaris, Civic Type R, i20 N, Fiesta ST and i30 N are the best hot hatchbacks on sale right now, but which is best of them all?
win? You could argue that it does. Certainly if you like your hot hatchbacks on the small side but with truly giant-killing performance it remainsWhen we pitted the Toyota against the Fiesta ST and the i20 N, we exploited the chance to put the non-Circuit Pack-equipped car under the microscope for the first time, but Messrs Barker and Meaden returned saying the higher spec car would have been preferable, if for no other reason than for its more aggressive Dunlops.
Sometimes I just wish the Yaris felt a little more on its toes, that the steering had more clarity and a certain sharpness, hard to define but missing currently. I wish that giving it everything in the middle of a wet, 90-degree curve produced a more tail-happy result, and that its damping really was oblivious to any road’s challenge, which it feels like it might be but actually doesn’t quite pull off.
New performance cars don’t really get much more affordable than this, and as a first rung on the ladder there’s so much to love here. Most of all, we’re simply glad that there’s a manufacturer out there willing to develop and deliver a new hot hatch to this template, arguably the purest one of them all.
