There was a time when buying your way into a Volkswagen GTI or spiced-up Honda Civic was the lowest-cost gateway to being a car enthusiast. Hot hatchbacks may be a dying breed these days, and they’re more expensive than they used to be, but there are still a handful of options that remain from brands such as Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen that hold onto that spirit.
We’re strong advocates for hot hatches here at Road & Track because these pint-sized models provide endless fun behind the wheel and are highly practical. They’re great choices for new drivers and for driving enthusiasts who need to carry extra people or stuff. These are the best hot hatchbacks on sale today.
