Something like a Clio Sport is supposed to be like a go cart - you cant expect a 1600kg 3 series to handle like that I would not have thought? Where as a Focus hot hatch being a bit heavier isnt probably quite as good as the Clio or Megane? I dunno.
Hatches generally have understeer built into them...and understeer is annoying. The 3 Series is very well balanced (in four pot diesel form), I hope the heavier 3litre engine doesn't upset things too much.
