Mk1 LCR short-listed on the poll for Autocar's best hot hatch ever!!

[JamesL]

The list has a mk1 golf 16v, pretty sure they never made one of those.

Edit: they have corrected it on the actually click list.

Parkers have a valver listed.

Lancia Delta got my vote.

I love the LCR, but the Delta Integrale Evo's of the day were just mental lunacy. Saw one at a show last year and fell in love again.

There's a nice one just over in Mortimor, parked up behind the Morgan garage - absolute minter. There's also one which I see In Henley occasionally, whether its the same one I don't know. I did once see one outside Halfords in Reading which nearly made me cry

Interesting reading everyone's different responses, there's a lot of cars on there which I'd love a go in.

Parkers have a valver listed.

Its a Mk2 listed on your Parkers link not a Mk1 as listed incorrectly on Autocar front page.

we cant all drive them all so its not much of a fairr vote.. see i would put down the 206 gti 180 but thats just me haha

Lancia Delta HF Integrale voted as the best hot hatch ever. Most worthy.

But the Mk1 LCR doesn't disappoint making it into the Top 10 - Voted 7th overall with 5.7% of the vote.

Best Ever Hot Atch Autocar Results Are In

HERE

Only has any info on the winner, Lancia Delta.

Leon Cupra R Mk1 7th out of 10.

I must say though all the cars got pretty similar percentages of votes. Sure the #1 got twice what #2 got, but even then only got 14%.

Can't believe the mk1 Focus RS beat the Cosworth.

the ffoc owners must have gone mental on their voting

for an understated car, 7th place isnt that bad. i didnt think the mk1 focus RS was that good to be honest
