 Looked at the following Hatchbacks.All Subaru modelsNissan RougeGTIFocusMazda 3After looking at everything I was willing to buy,I purchased a 2012 I-touring with Skyactiv Engine and Auto Trans.This power plant it awesome.It is the smoothest I have ever driven.Power really comes on at 2800 to 3000 rpm giving me ability to choose gas mileage or Zoom zoom.The interior is 'Spartan' but still an upgrade from my 2002 Wrangler.I really like the BT hands free phone function.According to the computer I am getting 32.1 MPG since buying the car, (50/50 hwy and city).I checked at the pump and my numbers came back 31.8, that to me is pretty good.
