HOT JAPANESE HATCHBACKS

Japanese 3 door hatchback cars are extremely popular in the car market nowadays, and there are several reasons for this. These inexpensive cars are well known for being extremely reliable. The various Japanese brands like Subaru and Toyota occasionally rise triumphant in the World Rally Championships, and the fact that these cars can withstand endurance rallies and win is more than a testament to their reliability.  Often equipped with 1.5 to 2 liter 4 cylinder engines, these cars have very low fuel consumption, but despite that the performance of these pocket rockets are rather decent.

Not a bad thing when driving about in congested city traffic and at the same time having enough zip to blast past SUVs and station wagons at the freeways. But another factor why these hatchbacks are so popular among the younger generation is that these cars can be easily and inexpensively modified or tuned, which is not something that could be easily done with more expensive European coupes and sedans. Modification can take many forms. With regard to appearance, body kits such air dams and spoilers can easily be attached to these cars. Yes, Koennig of Germany does the same thing with Mercedes and Porsche, but these cars are very expensive and modifying these will cost an arm and a leg.

Performance enhancement parts for Japanese hatchbacks can be bought with a relatively modest budget .Engine, suspension ,wheels  and brake kits can be modified by adding aftermarket kits such as those manufactured by HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut brace, Techart wheels,  Tein coilovers and several other popular aftermarket parts.

And perhaps THE thing to have on any young man’s car is the Boom Box. Yes, those audio systems with subwoofers the size of washbasins. Ever seen a Ferrari or a Lamborghini with a boom box? Perhaps not. The coolness factor of a car, for this generation perhaps, is not only how fast a car goes and how sporty it looks but also how LOUD it sounds with the speakers at full blast. And where is the perfect place to put these speaker systems? At the back of a Japanese hatchback.
