I am trying to decide between a coupe or a hatchback, i love the coupe look but wonder if i would get more room or something or easier access to stuff with the hatch. Anyway post your opinions and comments to help me decide

got a coupe now. i really like the look better, but, i had a hatch back in high school. you could leave the hatch open and use it like a truck, or you could put the back seat forward and have a good place to give it to the honeys. hatch has more utility. coupe looks better, least thats what i think.

I talked to a Ford designer once that worked on the Fox platform. He said, and I quote, "The hatchback model was a mistake and should never have seen the light of day". Who am I to argue?

If you like the coupe more you should just concentrate on that. Unless you really think you'll utilize the extra space in the hatch. Only thing is it'll be alot easier to get your hands on a hatchback. Last summer I passed up on a clean aod 5.0 coupe with just over 100k miles (was going to be my daily driver) and have regretted it everyday since. Guy was asking $5,000.
