Well the 5-door is a little heavier, and I've been told it has a little more body roll than the sedan. That being said I love my 5-door and I've never driven one of the sedans.

As long as you're doing a 3s sedan then you're still getting the same engine, and both the i and s use the same transmission. It'll be fairly comperable.

Perfect opportunity to learn (it's not that hard) and you can save yourself probably ~$800 by going with the 5-speed

+1, and you'll get better gas mileage.

Don't mind us die hard MTX people, we're... uh.... die hards.
