Just because it's a Mazda, doesn't mean it can't be a good Hot Hatch mate.. Does wind me up when people can't think of a better way of slagging off a hot hatch than to say.. "Still a Mazda, Ford, Honda, Vauxhall....
Who gives a sh!t what make it is (bit snobby if you ask me). End of the day it's what they turn it in to and how capable it is as a Hot Hatch that counts.. The R26 is still a Renualt, but it'll pretty much blitz every other hot hatch out there round a track and on the road. It certainly didn't get the backing of just about every motor journalist that tested it on the fact it's a RENUALT..
Would you say the new R35 GTR was still just a NISSAN/DATSUN? If so, just every Super car it's been put up against (Porsche GT3, Turbo etc) and beat must be sh!te too...

Beaten by a muuuuuzzdaaaa lol, american for Mazda  :laugh:, and loved the twist at the end too, get the GTi, much better!.R36 would be a better proposion, R32 should be more powerfull for the historical badge that it wears.
It should be the ultimate golf, but it isnt. Hopefully the mk 6 R32 will be re branded and more power to it to compete with the likes of the new Focus RS.
i think the R should be alot better. poor show in this test tbh.
The best part was the sound of it especially with the burble of the dsg change.
