There was a hot hatch hype resurgence that some media outlets emphasized the last few years but the SUV train had already left the station.
Fiesta / Focus (ST, RS) - Rest in peace, the childish interiors killed the mood.
Golf / GTI - The more mature choice. I still see a lot of Rs popping up, more than GTIs here probably for the AWD.
Civic (Si, R) - Though not traditional hatches, and very polarizing styling.
I would've loved to see those older 1 series hatches here tho. Even mini is a disappointment when the SUV model gets the performance priority.
