So, I was thinking to myself, what makes a person get "into" hatchbacks? Is it sheer practicality or is there something more? Hatchback owners have a bad rap of being stingy and such so why do people get excited about them?

Since I brought it up, I'll start. I was looking for something more efficient than my Ram and figured out that a car with 30mpg would pay for itself in less than a year with how much I was spending on gas. I found a 1984 VW GTI for sale in my area and decided to check it out--not even knowing what a GTI was. The guy showed me how he could get his bike inside his hatchback and everything. And then I drove it... and everything changed. I never got the GTI but I was hooked. I did get a civic hatch and now the Fit...

Just wondering where everyone else was coming from...

 

I know it is a little abstract and hard to describe, but for me, it is the look of hatchbacks. Simply like the way they look.

 

My first hatch....a 98 VW GTi VR6. When I get my Fit, it'll be my 4th hatch.
