Sporty Hatchback

[zeristo]

hi, im looking to buy a sporty hatchback car brand new,

i tried the vitz but its not at all sporty,

i enquired about vw polo, but they have only manual versions made in india,

is there any other good car that is sporty with automatic transmission and paddle shifters ?

i saw few fit hybrid with paddle shifts, are they sporty or dull like vitz and aqua ?

thanks

Hello Zeristo, What is the budget? coz its all depend on that. How about Audi A3 sportback or a VW GOLF????? or you can find the paddle shift on Nissan NOTE Rider also

Try Fit RS version. It's really sporty.

But don't expect same fuel economy as normal Fit Hybrid!

Honda CR-Z must be a good option too.

[Hoonigan]

Off the top of my head

VW Golf

VW Scirocco

Subaru impreza

Honda CRZ (hybrid if that helps)

Hyundai Veloster

Subaru impreza

Honda civic type R

Did I mention the impreza?

As john cooper mentioned, all depends on your budget..and some of the above may not have paddle shifters but is that really a deciding point?

[Crosswind]

Depends on your definition of 'sporty'. For most Sri Lankans, sporty means its a hatchback with a spoiler and a fart can.

If u a looking for a real sports car, how about a Toyota GT86?

[Schiffer]

Why not a Vitz RS or a Suzuki Swift Sports?

[kush]

Mazda 3

Ford Focus

[waka]

Fit RS or civic TypeR

CRZ is hardly what I'd call sporty.Maybe it's just me cos I was expecting the next CRX but it's too heavy with vague steering,and lazy gearbox.Most of all the 90s Vtec magic is nowhere to be found..looks good though.

I'd go for a Swift sport.

[zeristo]

my budget around 4-4.5 mil, a swift sport fits into that budget ?

Previous one does, not sure about the new one

If Swift is fit in i guess and another Pocket Rocket is Mitsubishi COLT R Rally Art, 1500cc MIVEC Turbo with Intercooler

The OP does live in Sri Lanka you know, I don't think the Ralliart Colt is available here...

I've seen one supra. In Nugegoda. A full spec ralliart colt. In red. Lovely thing, that. Dunno whose.

[zeristo]

heard from a friend that a new BMW X1 2014 will cost around 5.5-6.5 mil, is it worth spending little extra for a crossover ?

[Komisiripala]

Heard from the agent: 7 mil for a bog standard one.

I see 4.9 million mentioned. Not sure if somebody looking for a brand new sporty hatchback would be interested. Also in terms of mileage of UK import cars, you need to get the service book with a car and call a dealership and check to be sure. Because the mileage would be in miles and the seller is quoting km, and I don't know if in the Nissan you can just switch the display over to km.

I spoke to a dealer who told me the new HONDA FIT RS 2014 is good enough sporty with 132ps power with paddle shifts. Also I came to know that the new FIT hybrid comes with 110ps+30ps(electric motor) mated to a 7 speed dual clutch with paddle shifts( some grade name has it). Probably fits my budget, just want to know if its a good buy over swift sport 1.6L ?

[Komisiripala]

Yes

Well the new Fit is just coming out in the market so you cant expect much real world comparisons. But going by the past models and the reviews of the new one....I would say it would be a good bet
