      Between the 2 models

      Which one offers better potential for high mpg? Which one has less drag,weight, that sort of thing for max mpg? I would think the drag would be less on the sedan but not sure....

      Sedans are usually a little lighter and have a little better aero properties as well.

      the hatch has more frontal area, so it has a little more drag, not much of a difference though

      The sedan is lighter? I thought the other way around for sure interesting. I also thought the 2 shared the same front end size... The sedan with the extended rear is more aero

      Does the rear seat come out of the hatch like how a mini van does with a quick lever? Or are they bolted down? Would be nice to quick pop it out if alone to shed some weight of the car.

      Two bolts at the front IIRC.
