The Honda Integra Type R is like the holy grail of FWD hot-hatch-dom, but it still has uber comfy seats, sound-proofing, rear seats with seatbelts, a rooflining, doorcards, no exposed wires, carpet and a moderate level of comfort about its interior. It's also a few tenths quicker than a GTi6 in the process.
Just saying. Stripping a perfectly good GTi6 seems like you're removing a little bit of its' charm. The whole appeal of a hot-hatch is that it is both quick and practical. Now yours is still practical, but only in the same way as a Ford Transit Connect / Astravan. Only not economical. IMO, if you wanted a car with two seats, to be fast, to strip down to the bare essentials and use everyday, you should've got a Toyota MR2 or similar...Boosted MX5 maybe...
And here we find the crux of the matter, you just don't get it. But it's not your car... By reeling off the integra type R as the best hot hatch you've just proved the point, you didn't choose the golf gti that started the scene or the 205 that topped it or the renault 5 that sent it plain bonkers. No, you chose the integra - it's ram-packed full of creature comforts, doesn't look like a hatch or even really fulfil many of the main specifications, save for being fwd. You, sir, are a modern manufacturer's target audience, the existence of the BMW mini is entirely the fault of people like you lol. That's fine though, each to their own. Most of the people in here are not like that, however, and i'd go as far as to say Dum-dum is probably your antichrist! So yeah, don't get it, why are you here man?
