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.
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!

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

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....
