When I first heard of the Yaris GRMN I thought it was a special edition, a collaboration with Garmin. Turns out I was very wrong. Naturally as soon as I read past the headline that this was not a sat nav collab, but a fire breathing Jap hot hatch weapon the likes we […]

Here on Carwitter, we LOVE the Suzuki Swift Sport. Having had them on loan numerous times over the years, we’ve jumped at the chance to get behind the wheel of this epic warm hatch. But as with everything these days, the time to turbo has come, gone is the high revving 1.6 VVT we know […]

Renault are releasing a whole 15, yes 15 RS 18 Clio’s into the wilds of the UK. Based on the RS 220 Trophy the models are inspired by the Renault Sport Racing Formula One Team. They feature a ‘Deep Black’ colour scheme with liquid yellow accents and a tasty Akropovic exhaust system. Allegedly […]
Renault have finally announced pricing for the all-new lardily large, five door Megane RS. £27,495 will get you a normal RS, if you want the fabled Cup Chassis (instead of the standard Sport) you’ll need to fork out an extra £1,500. But all Megane orders from 1st – 31st May 2018 will receive this option […]

We love a hot hatch on Carwitter, but what’s happened to all the classics? You know the original class of hot hatchbacks from back in the day? All Car Leasing have done some research into the topic, picking out some very cool little known facts along the way.

It’s funny how cars fall from grace. A few years back the Corsa VXR was the boy racer, hot hatch of choice. Now, you rarely see them. That crown has been stolen by the all-conquering Fiesta ST. But in fifth generation guise is this VXR any good? You still get a turbo charged 1.6 litre […]

It’s not often a manufacturer hits the nail so squarely on the head first time round. But that’s exactly what Hyundai have done with their all new i30N. It shows what can be achieved with clean sheet thinking, a generous budget….and a little help from an ex BMW M Sport head honcho. Now the i30N […]

Suzuki were always going to be ditching the high revving 1.6 litre petrol lump that powered the last gen Swift Sport. We knew this, and it was going to be sad 🙁 The natural replacement was the 1.4 BOOSTERJET that we sampled in the Vitara S last year. It’s potent and made the Vitara a […]

Now the title is a bold statement to make, I know that. I’ve never driven a Honda EP3, but I’ve sampled everything thereafter. The FN2 was lardy as fcuk. A ton of extra weight (nearly 16 stone?!) and barely a hint of more horses led it to be rather underwhelming. That could be what scared […]
