From pocket rockets to homologation specials, here are the best used hot hatches for every budget in 2022.
Some of the best times in a hot hatch are when driving flat out but barely going fast enough to trigger a speed camera. With that mindset, the Suzuki Swift Sport offers oversized thrills in a downsized package. Granted, its numbers are down on heavy hitters like the Ford Fiesta ST150 and Clio 182; it’s 1.6-litre engine produced a mere 125hp and 0-62mph came about in the high eights.
, in fact, with the added bonus of a Milltek exhaust and an advisory-free MOT. Be sure to look after it and it’ll give you plenty more miles of joy. The Ford Fiesta ST has been a sub-£10,000 hero for a long time now. Impressive when you think about it, given how many hot hatches have come and gone over the past ten years, and the current state of the used car market. Why is that? Well, it has sold by the bucketload for one thing. Also its basic recipe hits the sweet spot every time.
However, the Cup-S is probably still out of reach at £15k, so you’ll probably need to settle for the slightly more humble 275 Nav -from 2016. There are a host of 265hp cars around that are most certainly worth a look as well. You may be surprised to learn that reliability isn’t too bad. Okay, so you’ll need to listen out for any whining from the transmission as the bearings were changed on the 275 and are prone to, er, falling apart without due care .
The steering is close to perfection, as is the short throw of the six-speed manual gearbox. Traction only ever breaks on particularly wet and greasy days, while the torquey turbocharged 2.0-litre engine punches you out of corners with considerable force. The best part? There’s massive boot and plenty of room for people in the back, making it very easy to use as a daily driver.
