What is there not to love about hatchbacks? They are fast, compact and also fuel efficient. While the might not be as powerful as super sports cars, hot hatchbacks have always been the way to go for the young drivers worldwide.
This is why the Ford Fiesta has been the hottest hatchbacks for the past couple of years now. This year’s Fiesta arrived with a new Powershift box. It is basically a six-speed dual-clutch transmission that promises unrivalled smoothness, performance and efficiency.
Next is the Peugeot 208 which relies on the twin-clutch system to operate its e-VTi or CVT engine. Then there is the Toyota Yaris runs on a standard automatic transmission which proved to be the most efficient ever.
When comparing them against each other, they are all impressive but not equal, or better, than the DSG box on VW cars. However, it is the Ford Fiesta that offers the smoothest transmission. Second to that is the Peugeot 208, which is a little choppy with its gears. Then there is the Yaris. While it may be smooth with the Toyota car, it is super dull and boring to drive on.
However, it is the Yaris that tops the value chart. It has the lowest emission and the strongest residual. On top of that, there is a 5-year warranty period that Yaris drivers can smile about.
All in all, the Ford Fiesta has proved itself to be the best hatchback. The Fiesta streak continues as it offers drivers the ultimate thrill of a compact car that has the perfect balance of efficiency and performance. This is something both Peugeot and Toyota will find it hard to compete with.
