And rightly so.
Fair point on the suitable car thing though - with 4wd and huge brakes it does tend to protect many an ordinary driver when ambition surpasses talent.
Not technically a hatch, but perhaps the latest STI saloon would be more appropriate - can be spec'd without the lairy rear wing and is no more in your face than the Audi S cars and suchlike, all be it not as nice inside.
Problem is, the STI may be monumentally capable but for the same running costs and lower depreciation you could buy a used M3 (the latest V8 one, E90/E92 series for those who know their BMWs) - and there's simply no pretending the STI can compete with that.
