In all honesty it's down to personal opinion, i prefer the looks of the saloon others prefer the hatch. The saloon has a humungous boot but as it isn't a hatch the opening can be resrtictive and if you put the seats doon the opening through to the back seats is quite narrow. But the saloon shell is stiffer because of this, not that you will notice the differencein day to day life

Basically and imo - Sallon looks better and Hatch has more flexibility
