Re: Mazda 3, Hot Hatch or Sport Wagon?

To me, when I think of a hatchback, I think of a Civic hb, a Yaris, an Accent hb, a Daewoo Lanos (lulz)..........mainly b/c of their stubby looks, and most of them are 2 doors.

What defines a wagon to me, versus a hatchback, is the abundance of cargo space, the longer body profile, and 4 doors.

That being said, I feel that Mazda 3 is a wagon, not a hatchback.

and my eclipse, under registration, is a hatch, BUT it DEFINITELY looks no where near a wagon... so i have to FULLY disagree with your statement

Man I ain't even said nothin you can disagree with. I'm not giving my opinion on anything guys. I'm just givin' you the facts.

I agree with you all in spirit. The Mazda3 could have been classified as a hatch or a wagon, and I would have agreed with either, but it was classified as a hatch. Like, it is actually and technically and officially classified as a hatch. I'm not saying that it should or shouldn't be, I'm just sayin that it is.
