The Toyota C-HR is hideous and looks unnecessarily cramped!



I also suspect it has very poor visibility for the driver given the design.

I don't know who is designing vehicles at Toyota and Honda lately, but they are driving me towards Mazda for my next purchase!

I completely agree!

This, to me looks more comparable to a Nissan Juke than a HR-V.

Well noted. I'll take another serious look at the 3. I love the CX-3, but I'm just too fat to either fit comfortably or not get claustrophobic. Plus the rear hatch space (seats up) is horrendous.

It's a shame the Mazda 6 in North America is only available in sedan form. I'd love a diesel AWD Mazda 6 wagon.

I love wagons. I wish there were more (small) wagons in North America. Unfortunately, SUV's have taken over that segment.
