Ummm...
We have a VW Passat, a VW Jetta sporwagen (aka Golf Wagon in canada), and a Golf GTI...
In the extended family we have a billion VWs eep.
A few of my friends have Mazda 3s and absolutely love it.
I was deciding between a Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza and VW Jetta sportwagen but ended up with the VW because of the nicer interior and cargo space. Love how zippy the Mazda 3s are though!
