yup 4 door all the way for me. It looks better imo and with the extreme spoiler is awesome! the boot is massive aswell.
having just owned a ZR and now the ZS i notice a big difference in quality of the car. i wouldnt say 5 doors is less practical tbh

It really depends on what you want it for. The hatch is practical as the seats do fold flat I believe and a larger aperture between the arches, the saloon seats don't fold flat and has a smaller aperture.
I prefer the looks of the saloon over the hatch, but that is a matter of choice. I nearly bought a hatch first, only to find a better example and was the saloon.
The hatch is also useful for those who have smaller garages as it is around 6" shorter!

well, iv had one of each and TBH, the hatch is much more practicle, but the saloon has a nice bit of touring car cudos about it. this may throw the cat among the pigeons at bit but my favorite has to be the mk2 5 door 180 with full kit

I agree with this totally. the other just seems to be lacking when the 2 are side-by-side.

Shame on you Paul
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!

Interesting that WSR said that the 4 door was better aerodynamically, as the 5 door has a lower Cd according to the original figures published by MGR. The 4 door is also supposed to have a stiffer body as standard.
Based on this information the 5 door would be better for dragging and the 4 door would be better for track use.
