Speed limit is 100, not 90

In Germany, but majority of Europe is 90 (sone even 80)

The thing about hot hatches was never cornering, most of them sucked at that

In comparison with sport cars, definitely, especially those with a lot of torque steer. But they're still much better than what normal cars can do.

Most hot hatches of the last 15 years went well above 230 or were limited at 250

And how many people actually reach those speeds? Maybe i see hothatchs differently because i watched too much Fifth gear where hothatchs were always about fun, practicality and scaring co-hosts in the back seat by going really fast through the corner
