What's the best-looking hatchback ever?

[Sycamore]

I wear glasses & I'm colour blind, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but fk me some of these suggestions are awful. A 1 series?!

Since I can have neither the Puma nor Racing Puma, can I have a Peugeot 205 T16 evo II?
It's sort of a lift-back...

If not, can I just have a 205 T16? Or maybe just a GTI, then.
Always thought the 205 was a well-resolved design.

Not just the best looking hatchback but one of the all-time best looking cars IMHO.

If we're looking at pure angular shopping-cart hatchbacks, the Lancia Delta posted earlier takes some beating.

What, a new mini, best looking car of all time?!

As there have been some "interesting" interpretation of a hatchback, I thought I'd chuck in my own.

It's a Z4 Coupe.
Coupe.

It's in the name.

It does have a hatch back though despite not being a hatchback. Even the PH approved Wikipedia says

2006

More powerful engines, freshened styling, and midyear introduction of a hatchback coupe mark 2006 for BMW's two-seaters.

so it must be right.

Smart Roadsters aren't roadsters either but the coupe also has a hatch back.

This is best looking hatch in standard spec or.....

This just wins. Proportions or just right. Similar to the 205 but better

Probably because it's not a hatchback.

More of a hatchback than a Morgan or Z4 coupe!

[LordTwaddle]

Before you say anything, this technically speaking IS a hatchback and it's one of the first ones ever made. So for that reason I say the MGB/C GT range looks better than any other hatchback.

Still the benchmark, timeless and affordable.

At least it's actually what most people would recognise as a 'hatch back', not a coupe, a GT, a mid-engined homologation special or even a 'supercar' in the case of some posted.

Some frankly bizarre choices here (new Clio!? )

Always thought these look good (RWD too!):

Good shout, had forgotten about these.

[DeltaEvo2]

Delta and new Giulietta.

Brilliant car but just sold for record 30k....
I sold mine to some bloke who scrapped it 2 years later

No way. Are you serious?!

Hatch or Coupe? Either way the CRX was a great car! Certainly not a family hatchback, as rear "seat" occupants weren't allowed to have legs or feet.....

Although in truth, I think some cars are really coupés and not hatchbacks in the modern sense, (e.g. E-Type, which really was a coupé version of the roadster/convertible), and some coupés are nothing more than hatchbacks (Scirocco), so I'm not too sure if the Puma fits in - I don't think I'd class it as a hatchback, myself.... even though, er, it has one...

its pretty much a fiesta in internal/external dimensions though.

Yep of course you can. How about a fire breathing one?

I'm shaking my head in disbelief
