I didn't post this for people to take the p1ss! I don't have a wife, I couldn't justify buying the saloon, because it was completley unpractical for what I do for a job.
What date is the Halfway House meet?

Having owned both.(The 4 door was a Sport).The 5 door wins hands down.
The boot space in either version is not exactly cavernous, but the 5 door is deffo more practical.
I actually think it looks nicer, too.
IMHO, of course.

I went for a Saloon for my first (and current Scoob) - a MY00 Sport. About a month ago, we went to a furniture store and bought a little table. Could we get it in the Scoob? could we hell [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I had to drive us home and come back in my good lady's three door Clio
Next time, aprt from getting the turbo, I will be going for a wagon

Ps. the Volvo 850's did better in the BTCC as wagons IIRC

Yep, a wagon every time!! It's more practical.... the Xmas tree would not go in the STiUK boot! It's no slower than the corresponding saloon, and a number of judges think its roadholding is a smidge better (AIUI there is a small difference in the suspension, but I can't warrant that). I can live without a p***s-extension - even tho' the STi is Prodrive version
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, so that's up to you!! IMHO bugeye wagons look better than bugeye saloons. I have to confess that, when ensuring that having gone in fast, I come out even faster, how my car looks is not quite at the head of my priorities!!
So, don't fret - just enjoy...

(MY'99 & MY'00 wagons previous...)
Edit: and it adds to the Q-car value
and reduces attractiveness to scumbags

Went from a my98 saloon to a my00 wagon.....
The wagon has ppp, the saloon only had a back box.....
The wagon is quicker, but most of that is due to the ppp.....
The wagon is more practical, but only in certain circumstances, the saloon was a very practical motor (especially after an MR2).
The wagon looks good, the saloon looks good..... no real difference.
The reason for the change.... just that, I wanted a change.
BUT IMHO the bugeye looks a lot better in saloon form, I think it is the flared arches that do it.....
One last thing, my mum really likes the wagons looks more..... is that good or bad?
