At first glance, this is a foregone conclusion. The Hyundai i30N, the hot hatch hero of the hour, taking on the Peugeot 308 GTI, a car that couldn"t beat the class standard when it launched three years ago. But what you"re looking at are kindred spirits. These are, without a doubt, the two wildest hot hatches on sale. You just have to scratch a little beneath the Peugeot"s surface to reveal it. Wilder than the Civic Type R? For all of its visual flamboyance, the Honda"s a very focused, knuckled-down car, a racetrack refugee that grips, grips and then grips a little bit more, just to be sure. It"s an outrageously talented car and the peak of hot hatch abilities right now. But if you care more about that less objective, more tangible thing called fun", these two might be a better choice.
