Mk2 Saloon vs Hatchback

Opinions sought pls ... which one would you get and why ....
Was fancying a Saloon ... but this has popped up

Personally I prefer the Saloon (for reasons stated in other posts) but that is a very nice example of a MK2 hatch! Even I'd be tempted... (MK2 Hatch is so much better than MK1 hatch in my opinion)

If you go to the General forum on page 8 there is a large post on Hatch V Saloon

PS. Hatch every time

Good advert (someone certainly has the gift of the gab) but as said before, age-old discussion!
Personally I would say buy Chaz's derv hatchback, because other than the engine there isn't a single thing that you'll find in that 180 that can't be found in scrapyards and retro-fitted. Then with the combined purchase costs and ongoing running costs, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

PS Ditto

I would say buy Chaz's derv hatchback - where is this advertised?

Not sure if it IS advertised anymore, but see here for where he was trying to find out what to put it up for: http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthre...=23213&page=11

I really like the saloon with extreme spoiler.
I brought a hatch because our buggy would not of fitted into the saloon.

IMO saloon looks better but hatch is more pratical when you have a baby.

I have two kids... never ever had a problem with practicality on either of my saloons... I had more problems with buggies etc when I had the hatch... the saloon was, and still is, more practicable for me

Love the advert, lots of nonsense facts, and incorrect spec., anyway digressing, saloon for me, no reason!

That's a very nice ZS, plenty of bs in the advert, good to see plenty of pictures of a car that is clean inside and out, some history, cambelts done, I prefer saloons personally, but it is a good spec.
