Without even watching - how in the world could you say "hot hatch" and NOT include the GTI!?

Yeah I caught the episode. Was a little surprised to see they didn't include it as they have always raved about the GTI being the original and best all around "hot hatch". Seemed like the cars they reviewed (Fiat arbath, Citroën DS3 Racing , and Renaultsport Clio) were all fairly small and mainly european offerings (suppose fiat is available in NA). As usual was quite amusing nonetheless. Always enjoyed Top Gear and all their crazy antics.

While I am as disappointed as anyone with the lack of VW, the first test would've been killer for GTI.....as I don't think our car can fit in that city street....all 3 of these cars are considerably smaller than GTI...

The producers probably made all 3 pick something different than the GTI because it would the have been very boring for a lot of people, except us.

well there are so many hot hatches out now days, they can only cover so many at a time. hopefully they test the gti in the future.

I think the DS3 is right on the money as far as "HOT hatch" is concern
due to all those color and stickers saying " LOOK AT ME " ..
but its not exactly my cup of tea ( green tea w/honey to be exact )...
Maybe I am too old and frugal now but thats why I drive a TDI ...

Just watched it. They are generally very positive on the GTI though I don't think they've reviewed a MKVI.

The Italy episodes are always a favorite. Jezza almost ate it at Monaco.
