security is not a problem at all with the hatchbacks. they come with a rear shelf, which can be removed if needed, that blocks the view from outside the car or inside the cabin into the trunk. and personally, i have a 15% tint which blocks out wandering eyes fairly well during the day, and at night it looks opaque black. the only id like to change about the wagon portion of the car is that it does not have a automatic hatch release, but oh well.
I agree that, under the rear shelf, gear is hidden. But thecubic footage of spaceunder the shelf in the hatcback/station wagon is much less than the cubic footage in the trunk of the sedan. If your on a road trip, or doingsome major shopping, having more hidden space is a huge plus.

As a sedan owner, I too would like to have a hatch release on the keyfob.

That would be a neat trick!!
If you don't mind the dark tint, that is your security w/o the shelf. The"shelf" was one of the first things to go in mine, along w/the rear headrests and plastic engine cover.
Free mods!! Gotta' love 'em!!

I just think the hatchback looks cooler.

My best friend has a sedan and it's a good looking car, but I wanted something with a bit more character, and the hatchback model had that for me!
