Hey guys, Im looking into buying a hatchback car. I've been looking for about a month now at different models and brands, and I have driven a few.
Usually they are too expensive which is why I haven't purchased one yet.
Cars Ive driven so far:
Hyundai Veloster (all years)
Scion iM (2016)
Chevy Cruze (2017 they just came out with a hatchback)
Honda Civic (2017 they just came out with a hatchback)
Hyundai Elantra
Cars Ive seen online that look nice:
Volkswagon GTI
Ford Focus GT
Subaru Impreza
So, what do you guys think I should buy? What would you buy and why?

I'd go after the Cruze or iM is going 6 speed manual.
If automatic, avoid the Scion, and the Civic.
And just avoid the Hyundais in general.
This past Wednesday I picked up a 2016 Kia Forte 5 SX which uses the same 1.6 turbo found in the Veloster Turbo. It was a 2016 leftover so I managed to get it for about 3500 under dealer invoice, 7000 below sticker OTD. It's not the quickest hatch by any means (feels more like a warm hatch than a hot hatch) but it has tons of interior space for a tall guy like myself, lots of cool and useful tech, and the best powertrain warranty in the business.

That actually looks like a neat car. I haven't looked into Kias yet.
I am also tall at 6'2" so the room helps.
And I also don't care too much about going fast.
Why not Honda fit?

Personally I didn't like the way they look. Can't really explain what it is... it just is, so I didn't look at those.

Sounds like it may be a good fit (ha get it) for you. I snagged it for $18,500 out the door, so dealers are motivated to get rid of last year's model since the upgraded 2017 is right around the corner. Even the 2.0 liter in the lower LX/EX trims is good for 170 HP and picks up nicely; i was just set on the turbo. Pic related, my new boosted gookmobile
