Why people choose a 5dr Liftback instead of a Sedan??

I wish i had bought the 5 door, but i needed a large trunk while still allowing me to have the seats in an up-right position ( babyseat), the sedan is boring, but i plan to give it the VIP treatment next year...

Yeah, I got a babe on the way and if I knew it at the time, I might not have bought the liftback. Luckily, I've found a few good carriages that fit in the back, with the rear bench up (Pre-Perego A3 and similar). Also, having the tight space behind the rear seats works in my favor, cause now the wife's car is the primary babe car which leaves my car free to haul cargo.

Regarding sedan vs liftback. The ratio between 3drs and sedans is very close, but the 5drs blows them all aways. There about 3 5drs for every sedan on the road (based a personal observation in the GTA area).

no particular reason, i had a dead sexy 3doors hatch before. i wanted a yaris, because of all the better features and better sound deadning.

i put on 45000km on my 3doors hatch in less than 2 years, and didn't want to put more money on it to make it more comfy. (RS seats, lowering suspension, sound system, powerdoor locks, keyless entry, spoiler, side skirts, 15" yaris TS alloy wheels-> thanks to echo_hrs<-, borla exhaust) i think i have enough of that car. all that money and yet, i still didn't have power side mirrors and power windows!! my previous car (suzuki swift 1.6L glx) had power everything!

so, my final decision was parting it out, and selling the car. Buying another hatchback didn't do any justice, so i bought a sedan with areo package (aka S sedan full equip with fog lamps and alloy wheels)

below, a picture of my 3doors echo hatch RS... as mentionned few lines up, this 3doors echo hatch had the seats of the RS, powerlock with keyless entry, spoiler of the RS and the 15" alloy wheels of a Yaris TS.. the missing RS side skirts weren't painted and installed yet when i sold the car.. i put too much money on it..
