What? :joker:

I like them both, but the spoiler just gives the hatchback that extra edge.

Put an extreme spoiler on a hatch and your asking for a sore head. The boot springs had a tendancy to pop with the extra weight of the big extreme spoiler.

The best design is the MK2 saloon. The hatch is more practical but the lines of the car are better suited by the saloon. I'm not a big fan of the gills on the 180 kit but the wheel arch extensions and the extreme spoiler are the muts.

Also think that the rear clusters on the mk2 need changed to the ABC designs black 'Lexus' ones. I know that this is unpopular, but look at the revised headlights. The rears need updated too. It was the one thing that looked like corner cutting between the Mk1 & Mk2.

Saloon for me, I think the hatch looks too short in the bum, slightly out of proportion. I'd like to have a look under a domini 4wd to see how it was done. A seriously powerfull T series turbo 4wd ZS would be the ultimate scooby killer!

Well went for a 5 door 180 in silver, looks sweet, pics are in member area..:beer2:

4 doors look the better car but only by a small amount, I have a 5 door and love it to bits and wouldent change her but do like the 4 doors.....

But am I right in saying the 4 doors weigh more?

Shame on you Paul:no:

That Firefrost saloon of yours looks the dogs doodahs.

If you haven't guessed - saloons all the way, especially black ones with big spoilers, but I may be just a little biased.

Must agree with th comment on practicality, I've got no chance of getting a fridge in the saloon and Samsung had to design an LCD telly just to fit in the back of my car!

Glen290 16-07-07 07:45 PM

Surely the hatch is easier to pop a wheel chair in?

Also easier to pop the tartan rug on the rear shelf?:yes:


Hah that made me laugh, but you only see tartan rugs in toyotas nowadays
