Make: Volkswagen
Model: Golf GTi Mk1
Introduced: 1976
Was it the first hot hatch or not? The debate continues, but one thing is for sure; it's the Golf that kick-started a hot hatch revolution. Yet VW's management refused to build the car at first, claiming there'd be no demand.

There are plenty of cars which should be on this list, for example, MG Maestro Turbo, AC Aceca (arguably the first hot hatch ever dating from mid 1950s), Jensen Interceptor and so on. What constitutes a hot hatch? Any car with an opening rear window or a small car with a big lift up tail gate assenbly? You can argue this idea till the cows come home!

Blasts from the pasts that i am sure many of us remember or have owned one in the past,these are iconic cars that are getting rarer and rarer,my daily driver is a "J" reg st182 Toyota Celica GTi that goes like a rocket and still looks good after 20 years.If i had a chance of a new shaped car i would have to give it serious thought,they just do not do it for me.
