Best compact hatchback? Honda Civic Mazda 3 or Subaru Impreza?
So I'm still driving my parents hand me down 2003 Camry but I'm thinking about buying a new car soon. I like hatchbacks and think I've narrowed my search down to this 3. Was wondering about the advantages and disadvantages of each and which is the best overall. I'm still open to other suggestions.
Toyota corolla
Toyota Corolla or Prius. You probably don't need a hatchback.
The Camry should be fine for many more years. Think of the savings versus having a car payment.
The gas savings is minimal and the Camry has a better ride.
Start paying yourself now and then you can upgrade in a few years for cash.

I have a Mazda3 but Civic or Corolla or even Subaru or Hyundai should be fine.
I'm a millionaire and upgraded to a 2012 Mazda3 last year after driving a 94 Buick for 13 years.
I would have been fine with a 2003 Camry if it was free or reasonably priced.
I didn't set out to get a Mazda but it was one of about 4 brands I preferred and I just happened to run across a decent deal for somewhere between wholesale and private party value. That was more important than brand name to me. Because they are all decent if you take care of them.
Mine is a sedan and interestingly, I didn't like the look of the hatchback so it wasn't a priority for me.
When I was 23, I bought a Celica and the hatchback or Coupe were both fine with me. I got the hatchback. At 54, I like the Sedan. Go Figure. Even though the hatchback is a bit more practical.
Mazda
I'm partial to the Mazda - and especially partial to the hatchback.
(And even more partial to a manual transmission).

- Why Suzuki is not as popular as Toyota, Honda.Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru? I hardly see any Suzuki vehicles on the road, and wonder why if t is also Japanese. it appears that both Mitsubishi and Suzuki lag behind its Japanese counterparts. I feel Suzuki are very good cars, but most people fail to see that and they don't notice it.
- Mazda reliability? Particularly 2013 mazda 3? I'm in the market for a new car and I was looking between 2013 Toyota corolla which is just boring and doesn't have as much features compared to Honda, or mazda. The Mazda 3 is at a good price 1000 dollars cheaper then the Toyota. So my question is, is Mazda reliable for that generation, or should I stick with a very well known reliable car maker?
- I want to change my exhaust tip on my 2015 Subaru Impreza Sedan NOT WRX NOT STI, what size do I look for? And what aftermarket brand is best to choose from, I'm use to working on Hondas not subaru's
- How did Mitsubishi compare to Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, and Mazda in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's? I remember back in the early 2000's, I used to see many Mitsubishi's being driven. Now, I hardly see them around. Was Mitsubishi, generally, as good as the other car-makes mentioned above, in terms of general customer-satisfaction (fuel-efficiency, reliability, etc.)? In the US
