The body shells are identical from the rear doors forward, so there is no difference in the dash layout between saloons and hatchbacks. The hatchback is more aerodynamic, so it will be slightly faster in a straight line.

The saloon has a stiffer body shell, so is a better base for a track car without a roll cage. Fitting a roll cage negates the difference in body stiffness.
