The dwindling of small hatchbacks in the US is so disappointing it’s difficult to put into words. They were the perfect little suburb grocery grabbers, and now you can’t buy them without overpaying for a used one. The next best thing is a sedan that’s longer and harder to maneuver and park despite having markedly worse cargo space and utility, and to get a hatch (not just a liftback) you’re forced into crossovers/SUVs which carry a chunky price premium. What I wouldn’t do to bring the Fit and Yaris hatch back to the US market.

If you want AWD a crosstrek or impreza are good little hatchbacks, ignore the "cross" in the name, its much more hatchback than it is a mini-SUV. It is sad that so many of the other little hatchbacks are gone (ex. fit, vibe, etc).

You can buy a Subaru Impreza hatchback.

  the impreza's feels long enough that it is more of a "wagon" than a "hatchback"

    The Subaru Levorg is the actual wagon version of the same platform. Unfortunately it's not available in the US market.
