The Volkswagen R GTi premiered at the 2006 SEMA Show, but it still stands as the baddest example of the MKV GTi around. Lightened, widened, lowered, stiffened, and with 360 hp courtesy of APR Tuning, this sport econo car is the essence of hot hatch; doing 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. But the craziest part of this ride, might be its 2+2 race seating, complete with a custom harness system. Produced and directed by Greg Harvey

Full review: www.autoexpress.co.uk The Volkswagen Polo GTI is a very impressive car. It can do fast and furious but will also do comfy and relaxing if you like. Really, it's just like a Golf GTI in miniature. However, for a supermini hot hatch it does feel a little bit too sensible. As a driver's machine it's not as playful or as fun as a MINI Cooper S or Renaultsport Clio Cup. Plus, being priced over £18000 makes it rather expensive.

Full review: www.carbuyer.co.uk Distinctively designed and well equipped, Renault's latest Mégane offers reasonable interior quality and class leading comfort. Hatchback versions are available in both five-door and sportier three-door Coupé form -- while there is also a Sport Tourer estate and a folding hardtop convertible. The high-performance Renaultsport Megane Coupé is an exciting option for anyone looking for a competitively priced hot hatch. But while the Megane five-door is called a hatchback, Renault labels the sportier looking three-door a coupé. The coupé has a lower roofline, different front-end styling and a firmer suspension set-up. Both models drive well. Diesel versions...
