Hatch for two reasons:
I thought the boot lid on the sedan didn't give good access to the very large and deep boot. No wiper on the rear window. I had intended to buy a sedan but those two things swung me to the hatch. |

ditto... I got the hatch but would've preferred the wagon. Still, who was to know four months ago when placing the order for the hatch.

Hatch as well. Same reasons as above - easier loading.
Just be aware that the hatch opens a fair way so if you're parking in a garage or carport - make sure the roof is high enough.

Hatch, one of the main reasons i purchased the mondeo xr5 over the focus xr5 was the mega boot with mega hatch opening...

Has anyone bought a sedan?
Have heard it is quite a bit tighter in the body, and lower noise levels inside. Hatch area lets in road noise. |

Only issue I've had is that the hatch has almost hit a few ceilings as does open up a long way. |

I like both sedan and hatch, but prefer the sedan.
Going to go and look at both a sedan and hatch today Is the hatch smaller on the inside at all? Thanks.

But the hatch is bigger than the sedan when you lay down the rear seats.

Hatch.
Wouldn't have bought anything else. My old KF Laser was a hatch and it was awesome being able to load anything and everything with ease.
