We love Hot Hatchbacks.  They are the perfect mix of reality and insanity.  But they all have their own quirks and strengths.  Last year we sat in them at the LA Autoshow and debated what they’d feel like in traffic.  This year we tossed them around a track to see the other extreme.

In this first of two parts, we have the Suzuki SX4t and the Volvo C30.

The SX4t is an aftermarket test bed for Suzuki.  The C30 is a bone stock dip into a new market for Volvo.

Either way, this is a great way to travel.
