But as Jeremy Clarkson said in Top Gear this week, the beauty of the hot hatch, and the reason it's so popular is it's a fantastic drive, without the loss of the hatches practicality.

I'm definitely in the minority when I say I don't think it looks that great.

Any idea as to how they're achieving 132kw? Upgrading the intake and exhaust, then strapping a big honking forced induction setup to the little 1.6L Sigma engine?
Or are they putting in a varient of their Ecoboost engines in?
