Looks like Golf is still the king of hatchback

[KARTer]

Since its introduction in the mid 70s, no other hatchbacks have managed to knock the Golf from the throne, is it correct to say this?

 

the old escort, then the focus; the Astra (?), more recently the 1-series, not forgetting a few other european hatchbacks like the 305-308, the magene, C4, Bravo, Alfa hatchback, etc, from japan: Civic hatchback, and all the others HBs, all more or less fail....

 

So far, which model(s) come close to knocking it off? why it's so hard to beat?

Go and test drive a GTI. U probably will get an answer.

my fren changed car, from GTi to RS3 (audi), i was thinking isnt this a downgrade? maybe i was wrong.

[Mecontle]

rs3 rivals m3 , subarus dont even come close

bro.. GTI to S3 is already considered an upgrade, much less RS3. go find out how fast RS3 is

 

if i'm not wrong, it's easily within top 5 fastest car within Audi's entire range.

manual shift car are finished

The Civic Type R Driver in the "R" battle is a joke. He doesn't know how to keep the rpm within the power band and his cornering speed is way too slow.

 

Now lets look at someone who really knows how to drive the car.

 

FD2 Type R driven by Tsuchiya - Best Lap 1'08"278 (Note that it wasn't even a time attack)
