oh I always understood that the chammy was 15-20% stiffer because of the 3 box design and that was the reason rdr used it instead of the hatch.

still looks like i'll be keeping the 5 for the forseeable Very Happy

yeah the theory behind it says it will be stiffer, due to the design but if it is which it probably is then its nowhere near 15 - 20%.

I have driven both externsively and I prefer the hatches handling.

the chammy was used for the btcc due to the fact it was a 4 door saloon. They couldn't use the hatch I don't think due to that.

if you had a choice..

wud you got for the 3door or the 5 door 19 16v?

i always think the 3 door has a more sporty look to it.

thats with any 3 door car (within reason)

3 without hesitatation.

The 3 door believe it or not is also easier to put a baby seat into.

Also the hatches boot is bigger.
