Another Hot Hatch Comparo...

[Mr.Tiv]

How about a Clio V6?

Clio Trophy

If I'm on a budget the Clio, if not the S3 hands down. Is the Caliber considered a hatch??? Doesn't look like one.

[Gtek-i]

It's like a crossover/hatch...

i want one to put a blown hemi v8 or a 20b twin turbo in one

I would say Mazda. I did see an Audi A3 today for the first time and I think they are beautiful. I also think they are a little pricey, though.

I think this comparison is missing some real major players in the game. sure it has the R32 but i prefer the GTi. And where's the C4 VTS, BMW 130i M-Sport, Mini Cooper S Works, Alfa Romeo 147 GTA, Smart forfour Brabus, Peugeot 206 GTi/WRC, Fiat Stilo Abarth, Renault Clio V6, Renault Megane RS225, Mazda 3 MPS, Toyota Corrolla T Sport and, dare i say it, Vauxhall Astra VXR. I know some of those aren't in the same leauge as that of, say the R32, but still. But out of the choices given, i'll easily take the Audi S3.

Of course S3 and the Golf a Close second.
But I still dont get the point of the dodge caliber. First they make a car that looks like an SUV and then they make a hot hatch out of it... Am I the only one that thinks many people dont make sense? Because what I've heard that most people actually like the caliber and really think its a huge car.

I don't think many of those are available in the US. And as far as I know, Mazda3 MPS = Mazdaspeed 3.

It's just meant to look more butch than other hatchbacks. The tagline here is, "Dodge Caliber. It's anything but cute."

It's not meant to be a baby SUV, just a mean hatch.

End thread!

I agree.

That is a terrible idea. Why would you do that?

[h00t_h00t]

Because making cars undriveably powerful while using difficult engines is cool.
