It makes up for it when it's going forward instead of turning round

This is turning into a <enter your random hot hatch here> thread.
As far as memory serves me - only 3 cars were put forward as the "best ever hot hatch".
Golf GTI Mk1
205 GTi
306 GTi-6.

As for 205 and Golf - everyone knows about those claims!!
I'm sure there's stuff if anybody google's it if anyone has the time or inclination.
