The ability to get the basics right, and thrill at the same time

I like hot hatches and I cannot lie. You other brothers can’t deny. That when a car drives in which an itty bitty weight and round hatch in your face you get….. You know where I’m going with this. There’s just something about a small car that is also fun that makes me happy. I’m not sure if it’s the dinky dimensions that aid in the drivability, or the fact that something so small shouldn’t be so fast, or maybe it’s just me rooting for the underdog. Or maybe it’s all of that and more.

Whatever it is, I’ve come up with a word that, for me, defines an affordable, approachable, and exciting hatchback, that also gets all the basics correct. It’s my prerogative as a self-proclaimed wordsmith to make up words (Shakespear and Milton have also done it), and two cars that fit this new word are the Hyundai i20 N Line and the new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10, at least on paper. I’m going to see if both go-faster hatchbacks tick all the boxes to be given that little bit of mind space that I devote to my dream garage.

You pay for the excellent quality and tech-tech goodies
