Are you yanks taking the hatchback as an acceptable shape of car now then?

I hope that wasn't you laying down rubber in the car park.

Also just noticed the car says "zoom zoom" on the dash display. Ha, excellent.

They have had them for ages. Car manufacturers had them fooled for years by calling them coupé's and sportback's though.

Weak wheels and awful ride height, but it does have potential. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif

As a shape for a daily driver car? Yes. You can have fun in a Hot Hatch, I do like them.

As a Sports Car? No.

That said, I'd love to find a WRX Wagon to replace my daily driver. Fun, AWD, lots of space for stuff if you need to carry crap.

I've had 3 hatchbacks so far: 2003 Civic SI, 2008 Mazdaspeed3 and the current car. I prefer the platform because I need the trunk space for my job.

Those tire marks weren't mine, I don't have much money to be buying new tires every month. Must be those bored ricers that meet at this parking lot.

True car people have respect for their tires and don't do burnouts for no reason unless they can replace them out of pocket.

The NT05's on my GTA are one of the absolute BEST summer tires you can get for the $$$, right up there with the $250/tire rubber. They sacrifice heavy rain performance, and have zilch for snow. But I don't do burn outs with them cause honestly I don't want to spend another $400 on tires if i smoke the rear tires.

NT05's and Conti Extreme DW's are the Auto-x tire of choice for street legal non R compound tires.

Very nice!

I test drove a 2010 MS3 and a 2006 MS6 a few years ago, but ended up with a 2010 WRX Hatch instead http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/biggrin1.gif. After the SE-R Spec V and H22a'd Prelude Si, I couldn't do with torque steer anymore (as little as the MS3 does have). The MS6 was nice with "AWD" (forward biased) but fell flat after 5000 rpm. Disappointing, as it was nicer appointed in the interior than the WRX is.

And yes, hatches are great!
