What do you prefer... I have asneaking suspicion the Sedan will win out.... even though I think from a design perspective the raise bonnet on the hatch looks better (and meaner) than the indented sedan bonnet!!!?

 

[Spook]

IMO the sedan looks better. That is interesting because when models come in sedan/hatch form, just about all the hatches looks heaps better. Think Astra, Focus, Corolla, Pulsar... the list goes on. Having said that, I have seen a pic of the upcoming Megane sedan, and it looks better than that derriere on the hatch (I actually don't mind the hatch... it just looks different/weird, but IMO not ugly).

i personally am not a big fan of hatches.....i dunno y.......i just really prefer the look of sedans over hatches

tho i must admit......my only complaint of the mazda3 sedan is that i find the brake lights are a little bit too high up for my taste.....but still looks great!

I decided the Sedan ages ago (at the motor show), but when I actually saw them in person at the dealer, and was allowed close up to them, the hatch really did grow on me a lot.

Still went for the sedan in the end, but it was a close thing. The main thing was that I didn't like the angle of the hatch itself - too oblique, looks a bit too much like a people mover.

The plus side of the hatch, though, is the rear window wiper on the hatch, which you don't get on the sedan.

i prefer the sedan over the hatch because i think it looks a little more mature.

but in saying that i think the hatch looks sportier

CANT WAIT....

 

[E-Gene]

Can you let us in on the awesome deal that you got and at which dealer?

 

[Guest]

How much did you get that deal for?

 

[mazdaspeed3]

Hatch is more 'sporty' in looks, yet the sedan is less weight and is realy on the racer's side....

I highly wish we got the SP23 badging like the Aussies get!

Hi to all as I'm a newie.

My wife and I have a '99 323 Astina 1.8 auto 40th Anniversary model (her car) and are trading it in on a Black Sp23 Hatch.

I drive a 1996 Bravo B2600 4x4 dual cab modified.

We both decided on the hatch as it looks sportier than the sedan.

We took a Lux 6 hatch,RX8 and the SP23 all for a test drive three weeks ago at Westend Nth Parramatta and the SP23 won our hearts.

So its goodbye Astina hello SP23. 8)

the sp23 is a sweet ride... congrats on the purchase...

I can't wait to get mine... :evil: :evil: :evil:

When's yours coming???

 

[olorin]

congrats also zooming bravo! i too compared the Mazda6 vs the Mazda3 SP23, and guess which one i chose? although, hatch and sedan vary so much in looks, i really wouldn't have minded if the boot of the sedan opened up much like the hatch of the Mazda6...

btw, are you also on the aussie mazda forum?? (or am i confused because of similar nicks?) :?

 

[Guest]
