Oh gee. Why am I not surprised? It seems that auto makers are bent on removing every decent car in production. I cannot understand their thinking.

The search continues.

The Honda Fit is a hatch. So is the VW Golf. The Mazda3 is also available as a hatch, as is the Subaru Impreza

Hatch + two door. (e.g. Yaris)

Nissan Versa beat out the Yaris recently in Consumer Reports. Honda Fit is solid. That Feista looks like it's going to shake things up though in the subcompact category.

I had a Focus back in 2001. Good little car. But they don't come in hatch any longer, so that sucks too.

I don't understand car manufacturers. They have a great body style and then they get rid of it. Go figure.

That was Ford's BIGGEST flop was ditching the hugely popular and excellent handling Focus h/b. They then gave us the current coupe and sedan. BLECH. It was uninspired, ugly, soft-handling, and bland inside. The current Focus lost ALL of the unique traits that made the 1st gen so much fun. But, they listened to the screaming customers and ****-poor reviews the current Focus gets and are bringing back the hatch. BUT NO RS AND ONLY IN 5 DOOR TRIM.


Fail!

For whatever reason, companies think the US market doesn't want hatchbacks. In the UK/Europe companies like Ford and Honda, etc... have 2/3 and 4/5 door hatches. Here they are sold as coupes and sedans.

In about mid 2010 when Ford rolls out the Fiesta hatchback, Mazda will start selling the Mazda 2. It is a close cousin of the Fiesta since Ford and Mazda share a lot of car technology. Both about the same size and similar engine. The MazdaUSA dot com webpage shows a Mazda 2 in a 2/3 door hatch and a 4/5 door hatch. Worth waiting a few months to check out.

This. It's been one of the best cars in Europe for decades.

Buy a corolla and be done with it, you'll never regret it. 0% for 60 month's with sketchy credit.
