Audi introduced their RS3 Sportback this year as a swansong for the current A3 range. Powered by a 2,5T engine pushing out 250

Wrapping up the hot hatch sector (Excluding the RS3 which I dub a super-hot hatch) is the VW Polo GTi. Took one on date drive with the insanely sexy Aleksa. It impressed me there, although I didn’t really get a chance to thrash it. Continue reading
We have the second entry from France: Ranaults Clio RS Gordin. Think of it as a Clio RS +1. Continue reading
As we move into along the list of cars its time to introduce a newbie to the market: The MINI Coupe. I went to the launch party and ended up quite drunk and hitting on the promo girl.
