It's really what feeds your tube man.... If your really gonna race your car.. Definetly go with the hatch.. if your still gonna be racing and wanna get props for havin a fast ride, sedan wouldnt be a bad start..
"Oh ****. that 4door just hit 12's dude" lol.. that'd be the **** right..
If you got a family, sedan is for you.. I personally dont mind both cars.. But as a first car to be purchased if you dont got a family, I'd say stick with the hatch. then for a second car get a 4door for the second project..
You'll be more happy with the hatch as you'll be yearning for speed every step of the way.
my 2cents:
But dont take my word for it.. Your the one buying the car for yourself..
