This sedan is just too angular, it’s so ugly it makes the hatch look pretty good. I want a re-release of the 1994 121 Bubble Sedan, 1.5L, 5 speed manual, in purple thanks :0)

Who cares if the yaris sedan and hatch do or don’t share panels? The mazda 3 hatch and sedan don’t share any planels either. Yaris sedan looking better than the 2 sedan!?
Ok…
Now i know why toyota sell well :))

The Toyota Yaris sedan does not share a single panel with the hatch, and was designed in a completely different studio.

I also think it looks (apart from the weird front) more ‘normal’ than this Mazda 2, which has that strange looking side, which I don’t particularly like.

Hatch-derived sedans hardly work as far as design is concerned. Toyota Yaris, Honda City (ASEAN Jazz-based sedan), Suzuki SX4 and the like, are just dorky, and this small Mazda is no exception. The only decent-looking sedan I know of is the Golf-inspired VW Jetta. It’s not the handsomest, but it does work.

I have a green man DSC Genki on order and I would prefer a hatch over a sedan anyday…2, 3 or 6 look more sporty. If there is a niche there to sell 2 sedans so be it but not for me…thou a 3 door MPS 2 would be nice.

There are some people who prefer sedan even in small cars like yaris and this, especially women! I know because my girl friend is one of them :)

Especially women……….? I aint {sorry Mother that is not English}your girl friend ,Mazda make a great product!

I would still prefer more grunt but if I had the choice of Toyota and Mazda……it would be Mazda,they are a better car,then comes Honda!!!!!

i think visibility would be ok out of the back. the sloping lines on the doors make the back seem higher than it is
if you draw a line from the headreast over the boot it seems like it should have good visibility

hey when its said it looks ugly what is it being compared to? A Porsche?

when you compare it to others in the same class it looks a hell of a lot better than others.
i think its good to see that small cars dont have to look “googly eyed”

Does not look well thought out from the rear at all.

These pictures give a much better view and imo this sedan looks very good for the size of vehicle.

The highly sloped character line and the rear design make this car pretty ugly.

Small sedans normally look like their wheels are too small and rear overhang is large.

IMO small sedans are marketed at those who want to pretend they are driving a bigger car then they actually are OR grannys who prefer the look of sedan compared to the hatch version.

To me the rear end looks more like the new Mazda 6.

Is it just me or do the wheels look to small for the body? The rear end looks to have some serious overhang too! Not good. Hatch looks stacks better.

i dont really see the point of a mirco sedan- tiny hatches are there for a reason-> small and easy to park in cities while usually having a large storage area. making it into a sedan is pointless as matt pointed out- echo,yaris and barina sedans are totally pointless cars

This looks fantastic.

Too bad it’ll be wasted on the Chinese market
