Why it is.

- mechanical limited slip differential.

- lots of chassis bracing over the non-NISMO RS.

- short geared 6spd.

- it has insane Recaro seats.

- 1.6L turbo (218hp/210lb-ft)

Would be hotter if it was a Micra with a turbo instead of a Micra with a turbo, lift kit, and a ton of cladding.

I’m not so sure...

The definition is pretty broad in the US, but this seems almost too crossover to really attain a “hot hatch” title.
