Part of the reason I bought a Coupe...
First, believe it or not, I like the look of the coupe better...second, could the sedan do this?
Pic of the car:

Now what I had to load (250+ yard signs for a campaign):

That's not all of them, that's about 2/3rd load. Even with fold down seats, there is no way a sedan could have done that. Funny thing is, I've taken stuff like this half a dozen times since getting the car. I love how big that trunk is with the seats down...you can even sleep in it.![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Oh, don't read too much into the signs, I'm not a supporter of the candidate, just helping out.

Seriously, hatchbacks > sedans when it comes to practicality. I miss my coupe so much just because I was able to fit my surfboard in there. Now I have to borrow dad's Lexus if I want to go to the beach.
I remember one time I had one shortboard, two longboards, a boogie board and 2 friends in the car. Now it definitelly wasn't comfortable (for the guy in the back at least) but my was I impressed by how much I could fit!

Actually i bet you can fit all that in a sedan if not more if u stuff the trunk and back seat. But if you like utility there is always the wagon!

Don't forget those pics are not full, I had another few bundles left...and they fit where the trunklid normally is...thats why the sedan didn't work.

In the end I just drove to the drop point and that was it. Wagons im sure are better, but way too fugly for me ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I've also had two medium dog crates (and dogs) back there...
Granted, now I've bought a truck to haul stuff....because you just cant fit 4x8 plywood in the coupe....unless....
