That very well may be as far as new however overall current ownership appears to be much younger that the graph shows or else there's a shitload of very young looking 45 year olds driving around in em.

I have to say I’m the only “mature” guy in my area that I see in one. Everybody else driving is a kid. And I don’t even care haha. Honestly I don’t see many at all. Most of the time when I do it’s an FRS or 86. Very few BRZs, which suits me just fine too.

The point was that there are/were loads of ones owned by "older" people. In fact 80% were at one point. Even this forum has a much larger "older" population than many would ever guess. I don't buy the whole "young guys all beat on and don't take care of their cars" thing anyway. Many actually take better care than some older guys.

The majority I see in my area seem to be middle aged women!

If they still made swoopy, 3-door “coupe” style hot hatches (like the prior gen Megane RS, Astra VXR, or my fav, the Scirocco R etc) then they’d still be in contention for me vs a dedicated RWD sports car, even with FWD.
Alas, the 3-door hot hatches are virtually gone now in favour of uglier but more practical 5-door versions because the 3-doors sold in low volumes. I think the only 3-door hatch still available new (certainly in Oz) is the Mini Cooper. I can’t ever see a boxy 5-door hatch as a “sportscar” however quick it is. Many of today’s 5-door hot hatches are quicker than dedicated RWD sports cars like the MX-5, 86, or 370Z, but the hatches are still an appliance first and foremost. I feel similarly about the ‘super-SUVs’ that are so fast. Impressive numbers, but just not proper sportscars. Too big, too heavy, you sit far too high and they lack the style and road presence of a coupe. Megane: VXR: Scirocco: |

IMO the 3-door versions of fwd-based "hot hatches" look WAY worse, awkward a.f. Being fwd and having semi-OK power, they *need* the rear wheels shoved way aft to keep load on the front drive wheels. So they tend to have longish wheelbases. In 3-door "coupe" form they just end up looking ridiculous with all that space between the doors and the rear wheels, even with elongated doors. To me, unless somebody's gonna make a new dedicated 2-seater 3-door CRX, any 2+2 fwd "hot hatch" may as well be a 5-door.
