    Hatchbacks have not always enjoyed an extreme amount of popularity. This fact is not due to any issues with lack of performance in most cases. In fact, the majority of hatchback owners enjoy the utility that they offer and the features that allow for the combination of efficiency with ample storage space. Today, hatchbacks are experiencing a surge in popularity due to the recent enthusiasm that has come with the concept of the compact SUVs. The core idea that has made this type of vehicle so popular is not a far departure from the inspiration that first stood behind the development of the average hatchback. The following sports models are currently the most popular on the market. Their value, styling, and innovative incorporation of technology are letting drivers pack up and drive forward.
    2013 Ford Fiesta
    Ford is making its mark with a hatchback that can adequately compete with any of its other releases in 2013 on nearly all levels. The petrol efficiency is outstanding, and the handling allows drivers to feel as if they are behind the wheel of a vehicle that was designed exclusively with sports car tuning in mind. The Fiesta takes the brilliance that it applied to the chassis and suspension and uses it as a guide for designing a high-tech interior. The beloved Ford Sync technology eases drivers into the cabin and solidifies the driving experience with its incredibly smooth manual transmission. The Fiesta only seems to fall short when it comes to reliability over time and the raw horsepower that is at the disposal of the driver. If you feel the Ford Fiesta would be the right hatchback for you, it is very important to buy one from trusted dealerships such as Bristol Street Motors. That way you know you are getting a reliable and professional service.    
    2013 Honda Fit
    Honda has managed to produce a hatchback that makes wonderful use of cargo space in what would be considered to be an extremely small subcompact car. Another hatchback whose strength does not necessarily lie in its power, the Fit makes up for the fault by giving drivers an experience that is full of quick bursts and sharp manoeuvring capabilities. The 4-cylinder engine also excels when it comes to petrol economy, getting 28 mpg in the city and 35 on the motorway. The fit does not excel in all areas, however. Critics have cited the noisy interior and the fact that competitors in this class receive better marks when it comes to reliability. Despite the criticism, the low sticker price and the spaciousness dedicated to seating create a combination that buyers find to be extremely appealing.
    2013 Mazda3
    This manufacturer enters the running strong with its Skyactiv engine. The base model of this hatchback also offers buyers a considerable amount of power. The 4-cylinder engine is capable of putting 148 horsepower at the disposal of drivers. The Mazada3 excels in safety ratings, receiving nearly perfect marks from critics. This hatchback also stands at the top of its class by achieving 40 mpg on the motorway. Even a used Mazda click here in this model leaves buyers with an outstanding investment.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
