Dropping the hatch

OVER the past few new years when manufacturers are launch a new family car. The replacement has no hatchback bodystyle in the range. Instead, they have dropped them and made them either available only as a saloon or an estate. 

The Passat and the Accord aren't available as a hatchback. Volkswagen and Honda have ditched the hatchback variants of their family cars a long time ago. More recently, Toyota, Citroen and Mazda have done the same with the Avensis, the C5 and the 6.

But the question I'm asking myself is this. Why?

Krippled Ka getting fixed

Finally got round on getting the Ford Ka back on the road…

All SORN’d up

The DVLA is now informed the Ford Ka's off the road and a reflection on travelling without a car.

Peugeot 206 on the cards?

The Peugeot 206 is on the list as the prospective replacement for my Ford Ka.
