In a recent road test, comparing the Volkswagen R32, BMW 130i and new Audi S3. The R32 and S3 were described as hot hatches but the BMW was singled out as not being a hot hatch. Despite being the most powerful of the three cars, what did the reviewer mean?

Because it looks kike aq roller boot! apart from that its over rated German rubish!

If they are not referring to "stealability", it's probably because the BMW, though having more raw power, is either: A. heavier, B. less maneuverable C. has a less stiff chassis. D. is too soft E. has a bad platform.
