Honda Civic Type R<br />
The Type R’s huge rear wing, bulging<br />
arches and sharp angles have made its<br />
overall look a contentious issue; however,<br />
one thing’s for sure - it certainly screams<br />
SPEED! And speed is what you get, with<br />
this being the fastest front-wheel drive<br />
car ever!<br />
Power (bhp) - 306<br />
0-62mph (s) - 5.7<br />
Top speed (mph) - 167<br />

VW Golf R<br />
This step up from the legendary GTI<br />
model offers a huge additional 79bhp,<br />
but hasn’t lost any of its composure in<br />
the corners. Its subtle styling belies the<br />
grunt that hides under the bonnet, and,<br />
with the same interior dimensions as the<br />
standard models, it’s good for the school<br />
run, too!<br />
Power (bhp) - 296<br />
0-62mph (s) - 4.9<br />
Top speed (mph) - 155 (limited)<br />

BMW M135i<br />
The turbo-charged 3.0-litre straightsix<br />
engine under the bonnet of this<br />
performance 1-Series packs quite a<br />
punch. It lacks the straight-line speed of<br />
some of its rivals, but its rear-wheel drive<br />
train provides excellent handling, so it<br />
makes up for it on the bends!<br />
Power (bhp) - 320<br />
0-62mph (s) - 5.1<br />
Top speed (mph) - 155 (limited)<br />
