Question Automotive Class

I was just going through a link on Wiki on Renault and the car was categorized as a "Hot Hatch" in the class. Wonder what it means? Any suggestions on the Hot bit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault..._Renault_Sport

Exactly that. It's a more tuned car than standard so it falls into the "Hot Hatch" category like the Fiesta Rs Turbo, Williams Clio, Golf Gti etc etc.

Yep a hot hatch as TN says, is a sportier hatchback car such as your Golf GTI & Clio 197 Cup.

I think the Clio has it nailed, of course if Audi do make the Audi A1 quattro then it might lose that title.

That's alright TN, I took out a dozen lucky dips earlier this evening for the Euro lottery tonight and for Tuesday, so will give you a call if the money gods are shining on me so that you can order the new beast!
