I love the look of the saloon, especially in Mk2 form. However a hatchback is more practical. The hatch looks fine with the big wing on it too, without its a bit too Rovery for me.

I prefer the mk1 saloon (not biased at all!) I went from a 3 dr ZR 160 to the mk1 180 saloon, if I wanted a hatch I would have kept the ZR! Plus hatch looks a bit unfinished like the 3 series compact lol

This is why I prefer the saloon, the hatch looks like they missed a bit off the end,

Sorry hatch owners

I've had all of them - mk1 saloon and hatch - and mk2 saloon and hatch.

Looks wise I think each car can be unique. Standard my personal taste is the Mk2 saloon with the lip spoiler - but I far preferred my Mk1 saloon looks wise after it'd been personalised.

My Mk1 hatch now is improving as far as I'm concerned after adding/changing bits and I prefer it and others to a standard Mk2 saloon.

To be fair though - there are some people who have a wee dig at the hatches - but no more than people have a wee dig at the yellow ones ....

All good fun.

Personally I think the saloon looks more classy on the outside and feels more classy on the inside - how many executive cars are hatchbacks?

The extreme spoiler adds to the sporty looks, even on the mk1.

If I need to use a hatch back we have a ZR, a metro and a maestro (when it's running) to choose from or I can borrow a box van, 2 flatbed vans, an 18 or 26 tonne curtainsider, several 26 tonne flat beds with a crane or even 2 40 tonne wagon and drag with crane from work so I don't need the extra carrying capacity of a hatch, and I do have 2 trailers and a tow hitch on the ZS.

It doesn't bother me either way, still a ZS no matter what. Before I bought my saloon I nearly bought a hatch! Saloon works for me as I prefer the big spoiler so each to their own.

Oh and as far as boot space, its surprising what you can get in the saloon. Ive had car full of tools, Spare Alloys, 3m timbers, and a 2t engine crane. Its all about how to pack it in and tie the boot lid down!
