Are Obvious Classics Hogging Too Much Limelight? | Carscoops carscoops
. It wasn’t technically the first hot hatch, but it was an incredibly important car, no question, and great fun to drive, too. But sometimes it feels like the only two hot hatches on sale in the 1980s must have been the Golf GTI and Peugeot’s 205 GTI.
In reality, though it took most European carmakers a few years to catch up with the Golf after it launched in 1976, by the 1980s every one offered a hot hatch of some kind. Opel/Vauxhall’s Astra GTE had more modern styling than the Golf, proper Recaro seats and really torquey 1.8-liter motor, and Fiat’s Strada Abarth might have lacked the VW’s modern fuel injection, but its carb-fed 125 TC and later 130 TC had two cams to the VW’s one and 10 percent more power.
But they’re practically front and center compared to our next two cars. Mazda’s first generation NA MX-5 has deservedly racked up millions of column inches, blog posts and YouTube minutes, but what about its MX-3 little brother from the early 1990s. If any affordable coupe of that era gets name-checked it’s probably going to be Honda’s CR-X,Same goes for its Nissan 200NX contemporary.
What other cars do you think deserve more credit and more exposure, and which are you sick to the back teeth of seeing and reading about? Drop a comment below and let us know.
