    Sedan looks better and has a better shaped trunk.

    Hatchback, sleeker design and more room and versatile if Family comes down the road, friends for trips, hitting the beach.
    Had my 2nd Mazda and the Hatchback was waaay better than the Sedan I had previously.
    IMO

    My next car, Mazda or not will probably be a hatchback for the reasons you mentioned. I still like the look of the sedan though. I didn’t consider the hatchback until I got an SUV.

    Love the look of the hatch over the sedan, hatch looks more sportier to me. Trunk space is nice too. Prefer the look of the Mazda 6 sedan over that hatch though. I find it looks like a really long car with the hatch. Not a fan of the 3rd Gen looks, but if I had to pick one it would be the sedan, hatch looks very bubbly

    Hatchback!

    The opening on the trunk is tiny. It looks big, but you can only fit small things through the opening. Oh you just bought a microwave? Sorry, you'll have to put that in the back seat, the trunk is too small.

    I've owned 2 sedans and still own a 3'rd sedan now. If they made the speed in a sedan form, I would get one in a heart beat. But my Mazda days are more than likely over. No more speeds, and the new Miata has a few "flaws" that I just can't look past to buy one. In my opinion the new generation 3's are ugly. The speed 6 had a lot of issues with diff mounts. A close friend of mine has one and he ended up literally rebuilding the car when he took ownership. He had such bad luck he ended up having to replace the engine. 3rd party warranty saved him on that one

    I got both of My mazda's in Kitchener-Waterloo, awesome service and know some guys from the gym I go to that work on them. To just let you know the Sedan I h ad was a 2009 GX + with a Sunroof and Fogs since I figured that was all I needed for University. Now After working I have a New "USED" 2015 GT Sport and I have the Kit with it now "Knight Sports" Looks Fantastic

    Hatchback all the way!

    I've had both a hatch and a sedan so I can see from both sides.

    Hatch Pros : easy to haul bigger items since it has a larger cargo capacity and is not constrained by the size of the trunk opening. I can load a lot of stuff in the hatch easily. Especially useful to haul bigger items. Wiper on rear window makes for clearer vision out the back

    Sedan Pros : I like the look better and think it looks cleaner as a sedan. the sedan is about 2-3 inches longer than the hatch. Trunk is good for putting stuff out of sight from people looking into the car. As long as things are not big and bulky, I can fit almost as much into the sedan as the hatch but stuff has to go in the back seat. I have a cargo box on the roof in the winter. The hatch would hit the box when I opened the hatch, no such problem with the sedan.

    It's really personal preference. If you haul a lot of stuff or big things then the hatch is definitely better as cargo loading is much easier

    Hatch for sure. I have a 2010 and a 2017. Recently had 8 tires in my hatch (seats folded of course). Try that in your sedan!

    Always loved the Mazdaspeed6 but it wasn't a great seller unfortunately. Things I dislike about it is seats don't fold down, clutch is very stiff, and its prone to axle and diff failures.
