Everything You Need to Know About Buying Hatchback Cars

What Are Hatchback Cars?
Hatchback cars are known for their body style and versatility. Most have a rear door that hinges on the roof and swings upward, providing a larger opening for cargo space. The rear seats in most hatchbacks fold down, offering even more room if you’re hauling something.
Hatchback cars come in various sizes and types, including subcompact models and mid-sized options. Because they’re smaller, they tend to be more fuel-efficient. Many people love them because of their affordability and small size. The style of the trunk door distinguishes hatchbacks from sedans.

Reviews from customers about your dealership and car
“At first when I reading all the reviews I thought it was too good to be true. There were so many good things said about Pierre, I didn’t really believe what I was reading. But Let me start by saying that everything said about Pierre is true. He is a great guy and a great salesman. He made me feel like a friend and not just a customer. I traded in my car and he handled the transaction immediately. You can count on him to keep his word. If I were to buy another car I would definitely come see him. Thank you again Pierre. You are an awesome, loyal, trustworthy person. I cannot express how happy I am with my bmw M4. If you guys are thinking to buy a car from this dealership, don’t hesitate. He will take care of you to the best of his ability. You are truly a down to earth person. I appreciate what you did for me. God bless you and I wish you the best.”

“I bought a 2018 Tesla Model 3 in fantastic condition at an AMAZING price from BLVD Motors. Pierre was great to deal with and his follow-up with some tedious paperwork was outstanding. A real breath of fresh air after a bait and switch attempt at one dealership and another that tried to sneak in a bunch of lame/worthless add-ons.
Based on my experience, I would totally recommend this place.”

“I bought a 2002 Toyota Tacoma from here. I love that truck. Very fair price!
It had a few tiny little bugs when I got it, but they fixed them with no problems whatsoever.
This is truly a dealership that sticks to its word and sells an honest product.
Very straight forward, no BS.
They have come through more than I could have hoped for.
I can wait to take this thing camping!”

“I needed a cargo van to add to my fleet. Pierre got me a nice transit for a great price. All hooked up with ladder racks and shelves. Everything only took about an hour and the van was ready to go to work. Will definitely buy my next vehicle here. Thank you Blvd Motorcars!”

“My boyfriend needed to buy a car so I came along. Pierre was great to work with. He gave my boyfriend a good deal and threw in some extras too! He even asked about my car and if I wanted to sell it to him. Even though I wasn’t there to buy a car he was really nice to me! I used the bathroom 2x, he let me charge my cell phone with his charger, answered my questions/concerns about the car, and I sat and watched TV while they went to the bank, filled the car with gas, and to get an oil change. I liked the selection they had and would definitely come back here to buy a car myself. He was no pressure, helpful, and honest. Very much worth the drive out to Tujunga; the website is easy to peruse and has most of the info you need to see if you want to go visit him for a test drive. Go see Pierre and his family run business. They own two car sales lots.”
