When you think of a hot hatch, the three letters that first come to mind are likely GTI. This acronym has been one of the principal voices in the hot hatch arena for the last 50 years, having been the performance version of Volkswagen’s pocket rocket models. Its offerings featuring the designation have since been overtaken by the likes of VW’s R models in its sporting pecking order. However, the Golf GTI is still competitive among sporty front-wheel-drive cars.
