2016 Volkswagen Golf vs. 2016 Mazda 3 Hatchback

When you want a versatile car that can work for you in a variety of ways, a hatchback is an excellent choice. Hatchbacks are nimble cars which offer a fun and spirited ride in addition to a sizeable cargo area in the back, easily accessed with a convenient rear door. With so many hatchback vehicles out there from different brands vying for your attention, which one is best for you? We’re here to help with a comparison of the 2016 Volkswagen Golf vs. the 2016 Mazda 3 Hatchback.

Both the Volkswagen Golf and Mazda 3 are great examples of high-quality hatchback models. They are quite similar, but the Volkswagen Golf pulls ahead in certain areas. In terms of fuel capacity, each car can hold 13.2 gallons, but when it comes to holding cargo, the Golf has the Mazda 3 beat. When the rear seats are folded down, the Golf can hold up to 52.7 cubic feet worth of cargo, whereas the Mazda 3 falls short of that with 47.1 cubic feet.

Why choose the 2016 VW Golf in Elgin IL?

In addition to a greater amount of maximum cargo room, the 2016 Volkswagen Golf has more power than the 2016 Mazda 3 as well, delivering 170 horsepower compared to the 155 horsepower produced by the Mazda 3. More power means a more sprightly and enjoyable ride, not to mention more power available to carry everything you need.
