Hatchback's are here

So I went to the dealership after work, they had two LX's one 6 speed and one CVT, I took out the 6 Speed. I will start with looks from the outside. Front end looks so much better with no chrome although the LX does have chrome over the side windows (sport will be black), from the side the car does not look stubby like in the pictures and the back looks way better than the pictures and better than my sedan I think its due to the two spoilers, my sedan looks narrow and tall where as the hatch looks lower and wider. When sitting the drivers seat you cant tell the difference between the sedan and hatch until you look in the rear-view mirror,funky shaped rear window and spoiler blocking half the view(first negative).The back seat is suppose to have more head and hip, same shoulder and an inch and a half less legroom(from sedan), everything looks the same except the legroom looks like 3'' less, less than coup from what I remember. Other stuff of note in the back is that the speakers are in the doors with separate tweeters up high like the front. That hump in the middle seat is gone, it's level with the outside seats. Now to the fun stuff, my car is the 2.0 6speed LX sedan, So if you use econ in my car it does absolutely nothing except retard the AC. Very different story in the hatch, when driving with econ on hard to tell the two cars apart, if anything I would give a very slight edge in acceleration to the 2.0, But..... turn the econ off and acceleration is slightly better in the 1.5 until the turbo kicks in and watch your RPM's hit the redline in half the time. The other big thing I noted when driving was the handling of the car, it felt like it had low profiles with 18's, it cornered way better and was more confident than my crappy 16's and hanook's. Guess what it had the exact same tires???? Is the suspension upgraded? could this 52% stiffer body give it that feel? What ever it is I want it and I'm in negotiations to trade my 3 week old ho-hum in on a sport.
