Hatchback vs. Sedan

[powergrip]

I'm getting the Sedan. It just looks way better and there are fewer on the road. What yall think?

Also,

black > all other colours except the bright blue which the sedan can't have >_<

I disagree, but that's a matter of personal taste.

and there are fewer on the road.

There's a reason for that.

Check and mate. :P But you are right it is a matter of taste. One thing I noticed at the dealership is that they had about 100X more hatchbacks then they did sedans. Oh well. I'm going tonight to seal the deal and see if I can drive away my new SL! 3 hours to go for my first new car. WOOT!

[reyes1212]

YOU've been warned...

Good luck with the dealership.

Our dealership just received an SL sedan in black with the sport pkg and I have to say it looks awesome! It was sold right away to someone who had come in to buy a hatch with the sport pkg but changed their mind when they saw the sedan with all the spoilers on it.Having said that, I still prefer the flexibility of my hatch when it comes to carrying large objects. I had a freezer in the back just the other day. I don't think you can do that with a sedan!

[fastlyfe]

dont fight it, just get the hatch.

[powergrip]

Much to my dismay the dealership meeting has been postponed till tomorrow @ 3:30pm. I swear to friggin god if this damn car isn't in my hands by this weekend I'm going to shoot someone. lol I've poured in hours of research, money on factory price quotes, test drives and the whole 9 yards that now, every time something delays me which was out of my control I feel like I'm going to freak out. lol /cry

Who ever said money doesn't buy happiness must have never tried budgeting because in cases like these money sure as hell saves a ton of grief.

I'll concede the fact that the rear of the sedan is not the most striking [it ain't an Edsel either] but it is a tall car [great for fitting 6'3" sons in the back seat] . . . so I'm not sure if anything else could have been done with it.

then again, I'm no engineer.

[msb0b]

Sedans are less VERSAtile.

Thank you, thank you. I will be here all week.

I am 6'2" I fit in the back of the hatch. Who drives amicro sedan? The mini,Honda fit,yaris and scion xa are all hatches. U won't be sorry. I go to homedepot and have put plants to furniture in my car. The delay is a sign to buy a hatch. LOL

The hatch is cheaper, I just hate those back lights. The design itself isn't bad. Just the lights. Other then style is there any major difference between the 2 regarding performance? I know the sedan is about $500 more expensive.

[Ever Victorious]

Realistically, no. The sedan is about 30 pounds lighter than the hatch.

There are fewer aftermarket parts made for the sedan than the hatch. Notably, tail lights, body kits, and exhaust... none made for the sedan, at least one model of each made for the hatch.

overlays give the lights a different look

You'll have to pardon my lack of knowledge on after market car parts. What exactly are "overlays" and how does one acquire and install them. (Well not so much acquire cuz I can probable google that) but are they hard to install on your own?
