im new to the subi world or soon will be, im buying a 09-10 wrx when i get back to the states in about 6 months and i cant deside if i want to get a hatch or sedan, so im trying to get the pros and cons from some currents owners.

also whats the dif in gross weight and are there really any performance variations. thanks

 

Get the 4dr. IMO looks way better

 

hatch all day, sedan looks cool but i'd say the hatch is simply more convenient space wise/does have better weight distribution, cant go wrong either way but wagons ftmfw

 

I'm a fan of the 4dr. particularly the '11 WRX. I'd say that would be better, since they have the more aggressive fenders.

 

I love the new 11' sedan. The hatch does look good with the red tail light mod but the sedan has my vote. I can still fit a full set of 18's with tires in my sedan trunk.

 

why not 2011? hella better.

 

2011 might be a lil out of my price range, im trying to get a 2010 with like 20 or 30 k on it.

 

check this site out.. they have a lot of information, it helped me learn a LOT about my car

As a student if I had the choice of a brand new hatch or sedan I'd use the hatch.. But you may not need the extra trunk space or the ability to fold down the seats (assuming gr sedans cant) and dislike the hatch look.. You'd be less likely to be on the radar of a cop compared to the sedans too but then the wrx doesn't have a huge spoiler so it comes down to:

1. Do you need the extra space?
2. Which look do you prefer?

 

The eternal question

I wish I got the wagon some times for the space and loading. But happy with the sedan and fender flares.

 

I'm happy with my hatchback, the extra space comes in handy plus I think it looks better! But the widebody 4 doors look good too lol. It's all personal preference.

 

5-door, you will love the utility it brings.

 

Hatch. That car was designed to be a hatch.

 

I wish the hatches were wagons, **** don't got no room! I could never fit all the photo gear I can get in my trunk in a hatch without putting down the rear seats.
