What hatchback/sport HGV should I buy?

I'm in the marketplace for a much needed new coup¨¦. I currently drive a gas guzzling Ford Ranger. I want something more efficient but still fun to drive. I also prefer something that will manipulate the occasional ski-trip to Whistler, that I can strap a snowboard to in the winter or a kayak or surfboard surrounded by the summer. AWD is nice and might come in handy on the weekend camp trips I do that require driving on logging roads to get to trail head.

Cars I'm considering range surrounded by style, price, and features and I need some support. The list so far is:

Audi A3 (or S3)
Mazda 3
Suzuki SX4
Subaru Imprezza (Outback Sport version)
Saab 9-3
Volvo C30

Up until not long, the Audi A3/S3 models were the favored choice, previously that it was the Mazda 3, but immediately I'm thinking more and more about the Volvo C30. It looks pretty sporty although I'm concerned going on for the lack of flipside doors and the small size of the hatch opening and high-ranking bumper for possibly getting a mountain bike in nearby. Cost isn't an issue...

I nearby a chart or some type...



Answers:    I would go for the Saab 9-3 or Audi A3. I assume the Volvo C30 will be short lived due to the fact that it is so different, Suzuki is thinking of going away the US due to lack of sale, this may get you a perfect price on a car, but it will bite you subsequent when you have to buy for parts. The Mazda3 is a moral option, but the Audi and the Saab are on a complete different plane than it. The Subaru is also in the category the Mazda is, if you prefer extremely loose handling, an Asian Car is a correct bet, If you want handling that is Euro inspired, travel for the Audi or Saab.

Personally, I would go for the Saab over the Audi because it have a 100000 miles warranty and the styling is stunning. I fyou want to add another comparison, VW Rabbit 4-door. It have the best resale value within its class. Or the BMW X3, you may think it's an SUV, but I own one and I don't consider it one because it is not tall adequate. It handles better that any other vehicle I owned and it has a great warranty. Its worth a look.

Good Luck!

What are my option on a large...


If you similar to the Mazda 3 you could look at the MazdaSpeed Mazda 3, they have similar to 260HP and would be a blast to drive
