2015 Hot Hatches, what would YOU choose?
Seems like a lot of cool new hatches are out these days. All for under $27k..
What would you get?
Ford Focus ST
Mini Cooper S
VW GTI
Any other contenders that I am missing?

I love the ST, but I would definitely choose the new GTIs - that interior

My mother just picked up a new F56 Cooper S. Really fun car, I've never been in a mini before. Super nice build quality. The BMW 2.0 turbo has loads of torque, I believe it hits max torque at 1250 rpm. Front seats have more room than my old CLS. Go test drive the new Mini. I'm impressed!

'08 MX5 GT 6spd.
Normally I'd pick the Focus ST but.....Mini all the way.
Based on the amount of options, tuning, far superior build quality (don't confuse with reliability), handling, etc. I can't think of any other FWD cars can match it's driving characteristics.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
I think you will like the GTI once you drive it. Very solid for a small hatch. I drove one on the autobahn last year. Very nice car.

Beating a dead horse, but if I didn't get my Toyobaru I would have gotten a Fiesta ST.

I'd take a 15 WRX or K20-swapped CR-Z over any of these.

I would've gone R53 GP for the Mini.. tons of fun plus they screwed up the front end on the new model. At least the base Cooper has a decent engine now.
