3 Hot Hatchbacks Compete Against Each Other.

Today it appears that even the economy driver is much more discerning than ever before with regards to value for money.

In this article we are going to take a look at three of these so-called current hot hatchbacks.

The three hatchbacks being studied today consists of the Vauxhall Corsa VXR, the Mini Cooper S and the Renault Clio 2L.

The initial perception with regards to the Vauxhall is that it is a much nicer car than previous versions.

For a small car it develops a massive 189bhp from a 1.6 L turbocharged diesel engine and would genuinely appear to have the getup and go to match the good looks.

It is up again serious competition however. Perhaps this is a selling off how important the market is.

From an inauspicious start the Clio does start perform and with 194bhp coming from a 2 L engine once underway to car starts to fly (so to speak).

The power of the Mini Cooper S is obvious to see right from the start with a turbocharged diesel 1.6 engine providing 173bhp.

The lightning reactions and extremely good performance of the Mini compares very favourably with the overall power of the Renault once it's running and the performance and shop handling of the Vauxhall doesn't let it down either.

The compromised visibility was the only downside of the great interior design of the Vauxhall. The good quality of the interior of the Renault was marred by the fact that it was difficult to get comfortable and it was a shame but the layout of the brilliant driving position of the Mini was marred by the poor quality of the plastic facing.

How would these cars pan out in the long run was one of the other key issues. It appears that the strong second-hand price of the mini could make it an excellent prospect for its owners. With regards to the Renault a heavy depreciation in the value of the car would tend to offset the definite advantage of the discounts available on purchase. Lastly, the folk soul was cheap as to get up and running and potentially better equipped to three but this was offset by the quite steep running costs of the car.

All of the three cars represent quite good value for money when looked at objectively but it would appear that the Mini Cooper S. appears to edge it over the others. If you can live with the cheap tacky interior, tiny rear seats and amazingly small boot the overall handling speed and performance of the mini makes it the best.

Set against this the Vauxhall is a good old rounder with excellent performance superb handling and an interior of excellent quality. Set against this unfortunately is the other role compromised visibility and the fact that they're all quite as many safety benefits and features as the other two.

Lastly the Renault comes in third which is a shame as the handling of the grip of the co-op is amazing, the engine performance and power of the car is quite outstanding once it's going. It is solidly built but you really have to work the car and engine hard to get the best out of it.
