Here is the new place to discuss the Mazda3 5-door vs. the Mazda6 hatchback. Since the subject has come up in other discussions here, I thought it might make for a new topic of discussion. Thanks for your participation!

I think the topic should include discussion of the Mazda6 wagon. The 6 hatchback will be far sportier and more expensive than the 3 hatch. The 6 wagon will be the one (of the two) that will be compared by most to the Mazda3.

Hi johnclineii- Well, what would you think of a separate "Mazda6 Hatchback or Mazda6 Wagon" discussion? I had thought about combining those two into one discussion.
 
It seems the Mazda3 5-door might be a stretch from the Mazda6 wagon, imo. Or have you, or others here, seriously considered the Mazda3 5-door vs Mazda6 wagon?

I have considered the 6 wagon vs. the 3 Hatch.
 
The 6 hatch will almost certainly cost much more than the 6 wagon. It also will have many more standard features, if it is marketed at all as it is in Europe and the rest of the world.
 
The 6 hatch is to be marketed as an upscale, sporty vehicle. The wagon will be far more utilitarian. Everything I have read indicates this will be the case in North America as well.
 
The 6 wagon will be far more competitively priced vs. the 3 Hatch. There will be people shopping both. Few, if any, will cross shop the 6 hatch and the 3 hatch.
 
The word hatch, when used to apply to the Mazda3, is merely attempting not to use the dreaded, downscale wagon word.

I agree w/Revka.
 
The 6wagon will be too large to compare it to a 3wagon.
 
Nice job on starting this topic though.

So dinu, are YOU cross shopping the 6 hatch with the 3 hatch (the wagon that dare not speak its name?)

#8 of 56 Not really by dinu01

The 6HB will be more than the 6sedan and if I can get a top of the line 3sedan or 3HB I'd rather have that than a 6i without all the goodies.

#9 of 56 Like johnclineii....I'll crossshop all of the by according2me

new Mazda hatches/wagons, with utility and price as a big factor.

#10 of 56 I am by mazda6s

Oct 05, 2003 (6:37 pm)

I am cross shopping the 3 hatch and the 6 hatch.
 
But then again I never claimed to be normal.
