Unfortunately the "hot Hatch" market in North America consists of Civics(if you still consider it a hatch), VW Golf/GTI/R, Veloster and the Ford Focus ST/RS. We are missing many of the other hot hatches like the Audi RS3, MB A45 AMG, All of the GM variants of the Astra VXR, The Euro automakers that we do not have in N/A and Subaru Levorg STI.

I've had many hot hatches including Japanese, German, Italian and French. Of all these the Intergra Type R and Alfa Romeo 147 GTA where amazing in a completely different way - one was a racing car for the road and the other a flawed over engined sloppy chassis piece of automotive genius, nothing i have had or will have again pluck your heart strings as the Afla did. The 3.2 V6 sounded like a Dino and had torque, too much for the chassis so after i added a LSD and added another 30 bhp (standard they were 245) it was like a rabbid dog, loved it. Should i ever move back to the UK again i will definitely buy another as a weekend car.

Alfa Romeo 147 GTA - miss it so much but relocating to the US i couldn't bring it with me

Just ordered from Dave at Drive Bright. Nice guy, super informative.

Getting HID replacement kit and new puddle lights too.

Please do a write of of what the kit is like and how you installed them, i may also purchase this kit based on your recommendation of it. Thanks

I'm interested in this topic too. I'm currently on third week of ownership of my 2015 SEL (400 miles) and after only recently driving at night for the first time (and also in the rain at night) i'm disappointed with the light output. I've been looking at a HID kit but always wary of cheap aftermarket kits as have had a few that were cr4p to say the least, also interested to see what other people have fitted to get an idea of ease of fitting and performance.
