There’s been much chat surrounding the VW Up GTi over the last year, finally getting our hands on one we could check if the hype was warranted or just a lot of gassing. Starting at £14,055 the GTi is around £4k more than the entry-level Up!. One of the PR’s at VW said the Up […]

Every now and then you come across perfection in this line of work, it doesn’t happen often, but when it does it sticks with you. We came across it last year with the FK2 Civic Type R, and we’ve hit on it again. You also don’t realise how extraordinary something is until it’s gone. Once […]

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 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 […]
