What makes a good hot hatch under £10k?

You want something that was built for fun — not a base model with a bodykit. The Fiesta ST, Golf GTI, Seat Leon Cupra, Suzuki Swift Sport, and Mini Cooper S are the proven picks at this price.

We check for abuse — timing chain stretch, clutch wear, suspension mods, and uneven tyre wear. A hot hatch with full service history and clean MOTs is a serious car.
