Fcuk a hatch unless its a 1988-91. Other than that get the sedan because its more practical. I hate having to recline the seat up for passengers. A sedan will be safer as far as having personal items in the car. Lock up the folding rear seat and its all gravy. I personally think sedans look better tricked up. Longer cars look better lowered compared to stubby cars. Thats only my opinion so don't rape my ass iight? With the situation your in, you minus well get the sedan and swap the parts from your hatch. Thats what I did with my Civic. I had a 01 integra that i stopped making payments on becauase of my financial budget.
