RS3?
308 GTI?
Leon Cupra?
Focus RS?
Megane RS?

Any of those should be on the list instead of the Up.

2:33 I can even hear Clarkson saying "35 thousand pounds for a hatchback is... is idiotic, it's like charging 100 quid for a sardine _oh it's a good sardine sir_ i don't care how good it is i'm not paying 100 quid for a fish!"

I will always have a soft spot for the M140i.

*Keep up the good work, you are doing fantastic, I love your videos. You are the best YouTube channel I have ever heard of. I like cars too especially mustangs.*

Finally an unbiased and fair list by Mat. I am shocked.

Yay! Carwow hasn't uploaded a list in a while, and I didn't realise how much I've missed them until now, so there's that I guess. Keep up the good work :)

You should keep doing these top 10s on different types of car, interesting to see what comes out top

Hatchback are perfect city cars. Finding parking space and taking 180% turns are nightmare here

[islemmoumen]

My prefer list :
- Ford focus
- Vw golf r
- Hyundai I 30 N
- Peugeot 508
Porsche panamera ( just joking with the Porsche.. very expensive )

[christill]

My two favourites are the Swift Sport and the Type R. But mainly the Swift. It’s small and lightweight, looks cool and isn’t overpowered.

...a cheshire cat on MDMA...this sounds like a metaphor clarkson would use. xD

[bambychoi]

Glad the M140i is on the list - last of a dying breed!

[Civicky]

Good information, good to see all the different specs on these cars, and nice to see you putting in cars from different ends of price range.. personally I don’t love the look of the civic, but type r’s are fun to drive sooo either that or the golf R (if I could even afford either 🤣)

[Kristian.matinko]

Perfect video!!! You couldnt be more right!! You are stunning journalist

[alonzoarteaga]

Love and agree with the list! Great mini review Mat!

[PlanetautoUK]
