that hatch looks like it has a HUGE blind spot though.

Sure, but that doesn't matter to automakers anymore. All cars have to come with a backup/rear-view camera as of May 2018.

If the actual car looks anything like the concept, I'd buy one.

I have to say, not bad. Not bad at all.

This old guy thinks the hatchback is a design fail while the fastback sedan is absolutely gorgeous.

HUMIDA, HUMIDA, HUMIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Hatchback for me in RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL WHEEL DRIVE TOO...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, everyone wants a twist-beam rear suspension. Bravo, "zoom zoom" company.

I'm liking the sedan. Something about the hatchback's rear that's off-putting to me. And I wonder if you'll be able to tuck that center-dash screen out of the way. I never liked how they ruin the dash line xD

You're right about ONE thing. You ARE old. LOL!

I've never liked the shape of the current Mazda3 hatch. The new one looks much better in that the shape flows much better. We had a 2016 Mazda3 GS sedan (for a year) and I thought that was a great looking car, but it was too small for our needs, so we got the CX9 GS. It's nice to see that design style mimiced on other cars in the line-up.

Plenty of room to haul stuff in my 2013 Mazdaspeed3


4-Point Rollbar no problem

The sedan is good looking for sure and I really liked my New Civic sedan but nowadays I very much need cargo space I’d opt for the hatch. I see somebody finally woke up at Toyota and designed a nice looking hatch.

The new 3 hatch reminds me a lot of the (forgotten?) Alfa Romeo Brera, especially from the back. BTW that new Corolla looks gorgeous too.
