143CAR.com - Hot Hatch Test: Ford Focus ST vs. Mazdaspeed 3 vs. Volkswagen GTI

Join Jonathan Yeung of 143Car as he tests three modern hot hatches through the back roads of west coast Canada.

All of these cars are front-wheel drive, turbocharged versions of pretty mum compact vehicles, boasting large amounts of power and torque.

The Ford Focus ST is the newest of the bunch and brings with it variable ratio steering and an enhanced version of the standard Focus' torque vectoring system. Will it have traded soul for its performance though?

The Volkswagen GTI is now into its 6th generation and is known for its all round usability and fit and finish. It is also however down on the competitors here in horsepower and torque quite significantly; will its shortcomings be overlooked by its charm?

The Mazdaspeed 3 has the most power and torque of any of the other cars here, and represents excellent value. But is it too immature and lacking in refinement compared to the others here?
