Always turns into pricing battles.

In the hot hatch segment, my top pick would be a VW Golf GTI or R.

No, it is not guaranteed.

It's front-biased AWD with electronic power steering, probably has significant turbo lag, and only has good driving dynamics because of the stability control programming.

If that's your idea of fun driving, maybe get yourself an XBOX instead.

If Nissan built a hot hatch it would be another failure because they have no clue what they're doing compared to other brands making cars for enthusiasts , would barely sell just like the 370z failure.

Yep, JungleZ 's mom let him use the computer again.

He must be off his meds again. I just can't understand the appeal of making new usernames for a forum that ran his retarded *** out just to be the same worthless troll.

That's the sad thing - he's not even a good troll. It seems the only thing he has ever been good at was dodging the coat hanger.
