It is always a confusing choice that every car owner has to make between buying either a sedan or a hatchback. This has, in fact, been the age-old debate, but you will need to decide between the two when you want to buy a new car. The hatchback has grown in popularity over the years and has actually become the number one car that is ruling our roads today. A hatchback is a small passenger car that typically comes with a large boot that is accessible from inside the vehicle. The roof does not curve down to meet the boot but is rather accessible by an additional door at the back of the vehicle. The seats can also be reclined, as a single cabin, in order to create more boot or cargo space, which can be quite the boon when that extra space is needed. Like everything else, however, even the top hatchbacks in the market come with their own set of pros and cons:

Pros of top hatchbacks

• Hatchbacks are very practical to use, as they have more boot space than sedans.
• The best feature of a hatchback is that the boot space can be increased by folding down the back seats; this feature is exclusive to hatchbacks and does not come with a sedan.
• Another thing that has to be taken into consideration when buying a hatchback is that it has better resale value. According to a survey conducted by CarsGuide, hatchbacks like Volkswagen Golf, Mazda3, and Mini Cooper hold their resale values at 56% better than any of the larger cars.
• You can see the end of your bonnet while driving a hatchback, as they tend to have shorter bodies. This will make driving a hatchback definitely easier than driving a larger and longer vehicle, especially on narrow roads and in places where parking can be a nightmare.
• Another huge advantage of having a hatchback is that it has a better fuel economy. The mileage that you can get on a hatchback is much better than the mileage that you would get on a sedan, which enables you to drive longer on just one tank of fuel.
• Cons of the top hatchbacks
  All said and done, there is still a lack of privacy when it comes to hatchbacks. You are able to see what is in the boot through the rear window, as the hatchback does not have an enclosed space. This makes it easier for thieves to spot something that they would want to steal very easily.
• Inserting a privacy shelf is an option that you get if your car does not have one already. The hatchback is definitely not the way to go if you are a revhead. When it comes to engine power, a sedan will beat a hatchback hands down any day.
• Although sedans and hatchbacks are relatively similar when it comes to power, the strongest and top hatchbacks will not beat the strongest sedan.
