I owned 2 coupes and 2 hatchbacks all 6gc.

Stylistically speaking coupe looks like a car while hatch looks like someone took a coupe and hacked it to make a hatchback out of it.

Practically speaking there is no substitute for a hatchback. Too many times while driving a coupe I looked back into times I drove a hatchback and recalled good old times of being able to transport bulky items or large pieces of luggage.

Given a choice I would own both but having owned both I can't say that one has advantages over the other.

When driving a coupe you drive with authority and when driving a hatchback you have more practicality.

Stylistically speaking if you want to have a spoiler on your car then it will look better on a coupe because there is enough place for non aerodynamic stylistically cool spoiler to exist. On a hatch it looks kind of out of place and forget about lifting your hatch and spoiler because it will weigh a ton.

If I had to recommend you a car... for every 100 hatchbacks there is probably 1 coupe and that is because it came on and then off the market and then on again. Driving a coupe will make you one of the few but at a cost of not being able to haul things.

BUUUUUT

A coupe looks like sedan and sedan looks like a car and car that looks like a car is more appreciated. Think of 2 seater cars. Yes they are fast and fun but most people always know that you can only seat 2 in there and they are not practical.

When it comes down to it... celica was really meant to exist as hatchback and most likely due to their rally program. Roll cage was easier to install, more space to store spare tires and weight distribution was easier to shift with circuits. Coupes have this big chunk of metal stiffening up the rear so they do handle very very different. If you never drove a coupe and you ask someone to give you a ride in one you will be like omg omg omg I never knew the car could behave like that. Hatchbacks are a bit more loose, at least in my experience.
