3 Hot Hatchbacks Compete Against Each Other.

In the climate of today it seems that we require ever more far-reaching sophistication and performance for our budget cars as well luxury models.

In this article we are going to take a look at three of these so-called current hot hatchbacks.

The cars we are going to look at are the Mini Cooper S, the Renault Clio 2L Renaultsport 197 and the new Vauxhall Corsa VXR.

The general conceived opinion about the new Vauxhall is that the design is head and shoulders above all previous editions.

For a small car it develops a massive 189bhp from a 1.6 L turbocharged diesel engine and would genuinely appear to have the getup and go to match the good looks.

It is up again serious competition however. Perhaps this is a selling off how important the market is.

The Clio develops 194bhp from a 2 L engine that takes a little to get it going but once you do, boy does it fly.

Producing 173bhp from a 1.6 L engine that is turbocharged, the Mini Cooper S. has more than enough grunt.

From a drivers perspective the Mini has stunning performance and lightning reactions. With regards to the Renault, it does appear to perform better the faster you go. Finally the Vauxhall has loads of performance and handles extremely well.

On the inside the poor plastic facia of the Mini Cooper does tend to let itself down whereas in the Renault though the interior may be a quality it was difficult to get yourself comfortable. With regards to the Vauxhall the interior design was great but at the cost all of compromised visibility.

At the end of the day everybody's looking for something that will provide value for money. Initially the Vauxhall being the cheapest and potentially best equipped looked good but this was offset by quite steep running costs. The downside of the red was the fact that despite big discounts on purchase the fairly heavy depreciation did weigh heavily in most people's minds. He the Mini held up quite well in terms of strong second hand value giving rise to quite good ownership prospects.

Looked at objectively all three of the cars are actually quite good value for money but probably the Mini Cooper S. comes out on top the handling speed and overall performance of the Mini means that it has quite the strong support to place despite the amazing fact that the inside looks cheap but hardly any boot in the rear seats are extremely small. Certainly one of the aspects of the Mini is that the extras are surprisingly expensive.

After the Mini Cooper the Vauxhall comes in second and has the overall aura of a good all round car. It is quite sad that the visibility is compromised because this is quite a substantial blemish on what is a very good performing in handling car.

Lastly the Renault comes in third which is a shame as the handling of the grip of the co-op is amazing, the engine performance and power of the car is quite outstanding once it's going. It is solidly built but you really have to work the car and engine hard to get the best out of it.
