Hot hatches aren"t supposed to be too serious. VW forgot this during creating the last Polo GTI. It arrived with a complicated turbo and supercharged engine (good for efficiency and tractability, but pants for revving out) and no manual gearbox. The result was probably the best fast hatch for oozing through traffic. So everyone went and bought a Fiesta ST.Seat should"ve been relied upon to inject the much-needed Latin libido into the package, but we got the same worthy mechanicals in a smart body designed by ex-Lambo sketcher Luc Donkerwolke. And everyone carried on driving around in Fiesta STs feeling pretty good about life.Photography: Simon Thompson
