more importantly, the question should be, why would you want one in orange. might as well go lime green if you want an awful color for a car.

i liked the look of the hatch at first when i seen pics but up close in real lift it just didnt seem right... and on the mits web site it states that the sedans boot is bigger and that the hatch uses a lil more fuel....
the voices may not be real, but they have some pretty good ideas :D

I personally don't really like the look of the back of the sedan. However, I have to say that the rear of the sportback is not that spectacular either. Nevertheless I think the sportback is more practical. Especially, when you can put down the back seats from two switches on the boot wall and then put something in the boot that isn't limited to the height of the sedan boot. Also there is a parcel shelf above the boot, so someone can't see into your boot when the boot door is closed.
In terms of weight and how it affects fuel consumption, I believe it's more the driving style of the driver more than 60kg of extra weight.

Pretty much agree with there, sportback has a sort of station wagon look about it. Personally I've always been biased towards sedans.
Hatches are great for practicality & parking usually, though I dont know if sportback is shorter & if you have better rear visibility than sedan in this case?

Just remember you have to take into account on top of parcell shelf as well as you can remove that peice giving you larger storage.
