Hatch vs Sedan
For me it all came down to which would be more practical.
If I were to use my Sonic for hauling people, the Sedan would be my choice.
However, we have 2 dogs and we take them everywhere with us! It's also just me and my wife so the Hatchback is more practical for our lifestyle.
I also think the Hatchback is the best of both worlds. My sister-in-law hates Hatchbacks because she thinks they look ugly in which I disagree. But to each their own.
BTW: For those in Washington State, if you take the ferry across the Puget Sound the fare is actually cheaper if you have a Sonic Hatchback over the Sedan.
Reason: A few years ago, WSDOT introduced a cheaper fair for vehicles shorter than 14ft long (168 inches). The Sedan is 173.9 inches while the Hatchback is 159.8 inches.

(see: "Vehicles Less Than 14 Feet Long")
For those in the Evergreen State, that could be an incentive towards the Hatch!opcorn:

I own the hatch, but to be fair, I went shopping for a hatchback and had no interest in sedans. I needed a small vehicle that could carry boxes full of swords, and I took two typical boxes with me while shopping. If the boxes didn't fit, then I didn't bother test driving the car.
I drove a rental Sonic for a week while on my honeymoon in the keys. It has a lot MORE room. The hatchback is essentially a sedan with the trunk hacked off. The trunk on the sedan is enormous.
The hatchback is a cargo vehicle OR a passenger vehicle. With the rear seats up, there's a tiny little space back there. The 60/40 seats mean it works, sort of, with two passengers, but put that fourth person in and you're really restricted as to how much you can carry. The sedan, though, just laughs at that challenge. I think you could put a small bed in the trunk and sleep there.
I still prefer the hatchback, I like the look better, and for my particular purposes it functions better. But the sedan is certainly a solid choice.
