Yaris Curb Weight, difference LB vs Sedan

[BMGYaris]

so that means that the hb would have better grip or something? and handle better going up steep hills and terrain? because the FWD combined with additional weight up front? but it would also be easier to EDIT: SPIN OUT:)? BUT most importantly, i have worried about moving up mountains and stuff? anybody know if there is an incline at which we would not have traction due to lack of front weight? or at which the HB woudl be better than a sedan traveling uphill?

Its pretty rare and hard for a FWD car to fishtail, that's mostly associated with RWD. I guess if you go around a corner really fast you can bring up the rear and that will spin you out or you will lose control.

Despite the the fact that the HB is lighter, there should be no difference going uphill. However, the sedan might be more stable and more comfortable on highway because of the extended wheelbase. It also has more roll than the HB. Go Sedan for lots of highway, and HB for city driving. Careful with Sedan if you are a tall person - the roof is lower.

If I tackle a corner too hard, my liftback will kick the rear end out in a heartbeat. There's no weight in the back and it still has stock struts so yeah...not good on a top-heavy car.
