"We should clarify that while the title of this test is 'Sport Coupe', most of the vehicles are actually hatchback designs."Here's the full story from Edmund's Reviews section: 2001-2002 Sport Coupe Comparison Test. What do you think?

The '02 Si doesn't look bad but I like this one a lot better:
the '02 RSX Type-R!

as far as Civics go
But when you 're talkign non-Civics, nothing comes close to the Type-R's fun-to-drive factor..
BTW, why do they call g6 Civics EK? I thought the E stood for 5th gen.. (I 've been away from H-T & H/A for a while, can't you tell?)

Well at least two of the top auto magazines have put forward THEIR answer for the best of the hot hatches, and the answer is...The Ford Focus SVT.
Car and Driver put the SVT first when comparing it to the GTI and the Civic Si, and put the car on its' Top Ten list. Again.
Automobile Magazine compared the same cars as above, and threw in the MP3 and the Sentra SE-R Spec V, and again the SVT came out on top. The Focus also has the distinction of having been on their All-Stars list for both the regular Focus AND the SVT model individually.
Perhaps this helps.

"The V6 and transmission combination gives the Tiburon a real advantage over other more expensive sport coupes like the Acura RSX (no V6), Toyota Celica (no V6) and Mitsubishi Eclipse (no six-speed)."Read the full story here: First Drive: 2003 Hyundai Tiburon, John Pearley Huffman. And let us know what you think.
Also, for more discussion on the Hyundai Tiburon (both 2003 and previous generation models), join us in 2003 Hyundai Tiburon - What do you think? and Hyundai Tiburon, Owner Experiences & News. Thanks for your participation.

http://www.vwvortex.com/features/12_01/12_28/index.shtmlNow this is a "hot" hatch. Should be coming to the US as the Driver's Edition with only slight changes.
