saloon doesn't handle better, tried and tested it over about 4 years and goodness knows how many track days, I wouldn't say either is better than the other but fact is the hatch is a little quicker around a lap, they do handle very slightly differently but unless your chasing every tenth of a second then you may as well just say they are both equal.
I prefer the hatch, it has a bit less weight and a tiny bit more flex at the rear, this makes it very slightly less prone to oversteer under certain, right on the limit conditions.
Ive been behind a few saloons over steering where my hatch could just hold the line.
