Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, AND there is no better of the two, Thats why toyota released a Hatch, Sedan, Wagon. you dont see a commodore hatch! you buy a car based on your own circumstances and taste. Personally we got a sedan cos its a little larger than the hatch in terms of having to drive people around often. the wagon was also an option but i suggested that im young and dont need to look like a dad yet! Now this part im not sure, being sorta tall, i kinda like to have the seat almost all the way back so my legs are comfortable when driving, i was in a hatch and it seemed like there is less room overall when the seat is fully backed. not to mention the amount of room left for the passenger in the backseat.
