 I had a 2 door hatchback for almost 2 years.  First off, I describe it as driving a Pepsi can on wheels.  I got so many dents from the littlest of things with this car.  I had an accident from sliding down a hill of ice and hit someone from behind.  The car handled well in the accident, but was expensive to fix.  The worst part of having this car, was when it was windy.  I had an issue where the wind hyper-extended the driver side door and it wouldn't close afterwards.  It was raining at the time, ergo, the interior got soaked, which led to an interior odor, and even after the door was "fixed" by the body shop it still never worked properly.  Very noisy interior.
