I actually wanted a hatch. The only thing I like about the 4 door is the extra leg room for the back seats. The hatch is more practical and looks cooler IMO. I drove to like 4 dealers looking for a hatch in a good color, but they didn't have one.
if the hatchback was right next to it, which one you think you would've gone with? just out of curiosity. i'm finding myself very much in the minority for preferring the hatch.
I got the 4 door since they had it on the floor, but I love the car. It's a blast to drive, but a lot more practical than the Z. You should really enjoy it.
