I want a hatchback.

I'll never understand why hatches didn't take off in the U.S. like they have across the Atlantic. My sister drives an RSX and even that car's slanted liftgate makes it infinitely more useful than my Accord sedan.

I resolve now that my next car will be one of the following:

Volvo V70 R
Volvo V50
Ford Freestyle AWD
VW Touareg
VW GTI (next-gen)

Yum.

no.

screw all that and just get a mazda3...save yourself money on the sticker, better gas and more fun to drive than maybe all but the v70r (i'm not counting the gti cuz vw reliability is crap, so if u buy it, boo on u)

 

[Platypus]

<-- :heart: 's his WRX wagon

What the hell did VW do to their interior in the GTI. It looks like an electrical disaster waiting to happen.

Same goes for the Touareg apparently.

Get the V70 R ... or if you want to be even more practical get a V70XC. I like the 2001 style of V70XC though.

I've got a Passat wagon and a Highlander in my garage. A Mazda 3 hatch and a GTi have also graced it.

I'm a hatch junkie. Infinitely more useful than a sedan. Not a true replacement for a truck, but certainly a very functional alternative to a pickup.

The new GTI looks good. It's growing on me. Are we going to get the 4 door here in the states?

I LOVE hatchbacks I :heart: the Audi A3

 

[Otaking]

Wagons, baby!

<- Audi A4 Avant

I've been very happy with my 944's. They're hatches and have huge cargo areas for their size.

What's the difference between a GTI and a V50? The V50 has a larger cargo area; that's pretty much it.

Personally, I use the terms "wagon" and "hatchback" interchangably.

 

[Excelsior]

I like them too! That GTI would look so much better with different wheels, IMO.

 

[Crappopotamus]

what the heck...

Hatchback:
VW GTI (next-gen)

Station wagons!
Volvo V70 R
Volvo V50

SUVs!
Ford Freestyle AWD
VW Touareg

5 door hatch/wagon/extended hatch/whatever. A wagon *typically* has a bit more of a cargo area hanging over the rear wheels. Bottom line is that a wagon still has a "hatch".

 

[vi edit]

I guess you could say, "all wagons are hatches, but not all hatches are wagons".

 

[Black88GTA]

I :heart: mine. I can fold the seats down and fit a complete Yamaha Razz moped in mine with the hatch completely shut. Who needs a truck!

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I love wagons, Volvo wagons are awesome

 

[jadinolf]

My previous car was a hatch back.

Nice to have.

s4 wagon?

 

[Pocatello]

Get a Subaru Forester, it's pretty decent for light off-road and great when the weather gets nasty, all Subaru wagons have my vote for usefulness.

Don't like the styling...I'd rather have an Outback Wagon.
