hatchback or sedan
which car do you folks recommend?
the mazda 3 hatchback or the mazda 3s sedan. what are the advantages and disadvantages? looks like the 5 door hatchback could be useful. any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. |
also should I get a stick or the 5AT?
|
stick, sedan
I <3 wagons and hatchbacks, but the 3 hatchback I'm not to sure about. |
I'm right with Kansei on this one.
The hatch looks a little meaty in general, and its hood looks particularly odd. |
i drive an '07 sedan.
i love it. however, alot of ppl around here with hatch's but mazdaspeed bumpers/spoilers on their car. you cant do that with the sedan very easily. um...... i find ALOT of females drive the sedan, while more male drive the hatch. altho i tihnk the sedan is cheaper? |
p.s. stickity stick stick
please don't get an automatic :P off topic: oh hey dentinger were you at MOTM? I met up with the TOprotege folk in burlington at costco |
I vote for sedan as well. I like hatchbacks but the Mazda3 hatch doesn't look right to me.

I vote for the Hatch in a stick. The sedan just never caught my eye. Plus the sedan blends in (as I see more of them then the hatch).

oh, well then i clearly dont pay enough attention on this forum them lol i kinda wish i went to MOTM tho. it woulda been nice to meet some ppl from other forums im on....(not including TM3) |
get the stick, it'll be more fun and probably won't let you fall asleep if your tired.
the hatch is practical, but visually heavy--almost needing the Mazdaspeed treatment to back up the looks. the sedan looks more lithe, and more proper in front drive form. plus it probably weighs less. my thoughts. |
I had a 3S hatch and I loved it. The only thing I didn't love was the automatic tranny. For me, the sedan looks like it has a fat ass. Looks very bland from the side. The hatch gives the side and rear profiles a lot of character.
I can't do a sedan |
