Saloon vs hatch

[Nor]

Drive and 'look at' both regularly. Saloon is a much better looking car in my view.

Just asking by the way, i do not know enough about these cars yet (still!) to confirm this myself.....

Yes, both are known as "extreme".

Same here, jetta over golf, derby over polo, montego over maestro (although the front is different as well) etc.

I have a towball mounted cycle carrier that just clamps on or off the ball and folds to fit in the boot -also avoids scratching the car.

Or should it be "which do you prefer" as some have had both.

Ah, a good point, but i do not have a towbar, so the roof will be my only option i fear..... Nevermind!

I fitted a towbar as much for this as for towing trailers.

i was going to get roof bars for my mountainbike, although it does just fit in the back with the front wheel off, cant get a second in though

Took my hatch to Fort William this year. folded the seats, removed the parcel shelf out stuck my mate in the front and 4 mountain bikes in the back. There's no situation the hatch isnt prepared for.
