When I bought my car, also face the same issue. Though I prefer the look of hatcback, but for family, i.e. need to put baby pram, child car seat, picnic basket, etc boot space was important. Hence went for the sedan.

hmmm

my family are my dad, mom and i

 

true oso coz sometimes when my parents need to buy stuff, need to consider the space for storage...

[Watwheels]

I like hatchbacks, for contis like Focus, Astra, C4, 147, 307, Golf and etc. As for Japanese there are Mz3, new Impreza and maybe some PI options. I excluded small car category for family size. I dun include wagons or estates also cos different cat.

 

But I need to use the boot so no choice gotto stick with sedan. For safety,eg. rear impact, sedan is a better choice for some ppl.

 

I think if given choice on my next ride I'll choose a hatchback.

generally i feel hatchback is nicer.

but there are some ugly ones and some nice sedan.

but then coupe is still my preference.

I have this impression that sedan provides better cushioning for rear passengers in the event of an accident from behind. Safety-wise, I would look for a sedan.

 

Storage-wise, I would choose a hatch-back, especially the ones with foldable backseats.

[Albeniz]

Sedan would be good if the owner wants to install 2 CNG tanks in the boot.

[Strawberrypink]

impact for sedan cars are lesser den hatchback.....

Precisely what I thought when I saw this thread. Most ppl have the perception that a sedan offers a better boot space when it is not necessarily true. A hatchback with folddown rear seats offers a HUGE boot space. Many sedans nowadays oso comes with limited boot space and with the fixed rear panel, even some models with the rear seats folded down cannot offer the space.

Yeah. It is possible to pack a foldable table or 29" CRT TV in a hatchback car.
