Comments
Opel Astra GSI!
I should save this list for shopping in the future…
That 80s chassis pictured of Piazza/Impulse was RWD. It was the next gen that had AWD option and was totally FWD based chassis otherwise. I had one of the RWD turbo ones for a short while. Was awesome. The newer 90s AWD chassis in the pic.
Golf mk3 vr6
Indeed, the VR6 is missing :(
No Golf GTi ;/
I don’t know what to think. I know that the Delta is more of a 1980s hot hatch, but it was still being built until 1994, so why is the 205 here but the Integrale isn’t? Still, very nice set of beautiful, fun to drive rides :)
Where is the Toyota Glanza?!
This, exactly this. Or the Starlet GT. Or the AWD Versions, which can be equipped with the turbo pretty easily
Citroen AX GTGreat car getting pretty rare now.
Note: not my car, photo is from online. My GT is sadly no longer with us.
looks nice I didnt even know AX have Gt version.. looks cool
Where’s the Peugeot 106 rallye? Those things are a riot to drive!
Otherwise great list! And judging from the comments the 90’s were an epic decade for the hot hatch
No cyborg mirage rs or swift gti not even a corolla gti possibly the only fun fwd corolla ever
