There was a hot hatch hype resurgence that some media outlets emphasized the last few years but the SUV train had already left the station.
Fiesta / Focus (ST, RS) - Rest in peace, the childish interiors killed the mood. Golf / GTI - The more mature choice. I still see a lot of Rs popping up, more than GTIs here probably for the AWD. Civic (Si, R) - Though not traditional hatches, and very polarizing styling. I would've loved to see those older 1 series hatches here tho. Even mini is a disappointment when the SUV model gets the performance priority. |

The Focus RS went out of production with the rest of the third generation last year. A new fourth generation RS model will arrive in a few years, but since Ford is no longer selling passenger cars (except for the Mustang) in the US, it won't be available here even when it does finally come to market.

I like wagons and hatchbacks too but we have such limited choices. It's pretty much why I went with the X2, it was the closest thing.

The A3 used to be. I bought an A3 Quattro 2.0t 5 door as my first 'new' car when I got my first job. Fantastic car....even left years of driving a manual just to get it! Unfortunately I got bored of the DSG gearbox after 2 years and traded it In. Did love having a 'euro' hatchback though. Was expensive almost $40k sticker that I paid $36k for.
