The main culprits are:<br \/>\n&#8211; Honda decided not to put the 1.5 iVTEC in the Jazz, in order to keep it below 10L. The 1.2 Jazz is overpriced and underpowered.<br \/>\n&#8211; Fiat doesn&#8217;t plan to put the 1.4 TJET in the Punto. An excellent car spoiled by underpowered engines.<br \/>\n&#8211; VW has gone on a cost cutting spree with the Polo and the car looks disappointing so far. Also, the 1.6 engine is not as good as the 1.2TSI sold elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>So thats why I want to see if people like me are very limited in number or if there is a genuine market for a 10L hatchback (OTR price).<\/p>\n<p>If you vote yes or no, please list your reasons.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m curious to see if the old stereotype of hatchbacks being small, low-budget cars with inferior status as compared to saloons still holds true.
