To be clear: the rail broke underneath the first cars, after which the middle cars left the track, to finally fully derail in a switch 2 km further on; there’s no way a piece like that is left in place once detected. The Italian crash is a really unfortunate tragedy, as it’s a relatively minor break with major…
Because it’s consistently the best car and arguably the archetypal hot hatch. Stuff like a Mégane RS or the new i30 N offer a far more involving drive, but won’t handle a daily commute or some highway cruising nearly as well. As a hot hatch is usually bought as a daily driver, the GTI is often the best answer.
Don’t forget approaching the car on the wrong side to get in.
The best combover.
Realization that this is your life now
If by here you mean the U.S., I think you only get the Veloster.
The i30N (Elantra in the US?) is reviewed favourably compared to most hottish hatches on the market (GTI, FoST, 308 GTi) and nips at the Type R’s heels. The Veloster should be fun.
To be fair, if it’s an MK7 GTI you’re just a tune away from 160+ mph. I’ve hit a GPS-verified 256 kph (159 mph) in a stock one.
For Abarths, the answer is always OZ! Either Superturismos or Leggendas.
Batteries suffer from cold just as much as from heat. Norway’s EV love is all about tax incentives.
SSS = Suzuki Swift Sport, the new one is yet to be officially released in Europe. (Although there’s also the lovely Caterham Seven Supersprint that could fit the abbreviation)
She’s a beauty, the Cibies complement the look! It’s a shame cities are starting to outlaw older cars (pre-Euro 3) over here, or I’d be driving a Fulvia right now.

As long as it’s dry outside and not too far below freezing, a summer tyre outhandles a winter tyre. If you have the grip for braking, you have it for cornering as well. That’s not to say grip levels don’t…
