1. VW Golf – Mid-sized Hatchback

4. Ford Fiesta – Small Hatchback
5. Renault Megane – Mid-sized Hatchback
6. Vauxhall Astra – Mid-sized Hatchback
7. Renault Clio - Small Hatchback
8. Ford Focus – Mid-sized Hatchback
9. Nissan Quashqai – Mid-sized SUV
10. BMW 3 Series – Mid Sized Saloon

And BMW are making a Hatchback verison of the 3 series.

Geddit?

I would have bought a hatchback 3 without hesitation if one existed, just as I'd ahve bought an xDrive one if there was a diesel varient. BMW are heading in the right global direction right now and they're going to reap their rewards for doing so

I get that...it makes total sense because these are all very practical and economical vehicles. I am a big fan of the Golf and Focus...but the 3GT doesn't do it for me, especially low bang for the buck.
