marv Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Having owned both I'd have to say I prefer the deck! Practicality was a big part for me with having two kids. The big boot is awesome and it's surprising what you can fit in a deck. And I just think that modded estate cars look cool! Gives you the cool dad points lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymera Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Not to mention the hatch looks like a Rover. This comment always ruffles a few feathers. Looking at the back of my MB6 makes me vom. I'd swap it for a deck any day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Cracked up reading the comments here You want my opinion? Well first off... I had a mb3 hatch and now currently have a mb9 Aerodeck. Both had the same engines and the same mods. Induction kit with caf, de-cat, mgzs back box and few other bits and pieces. When it came to power and handling (on standard suspension) I couldn't see a difference.. As for weight wise, I cannot say much about that because the hatch was 1118kg whilst the Aerodeck is 1190kg (even though the Aerodeck had no air con and the mb3 did have air con) The weight difference is very small... Appearance... well, as much as I loved my mb3, I still vote for the Aerodeck. I have always thought MB rear end looks too short. I think it would look better if it had a boot instead of a hatchback (a bit like the Honda Domani sedan) With the Aerodeck, I feel the added bit at the rear gives it the smoother lines. Just my thought 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burbleboy Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hatch owners have let me down on this one!The popularity for the deck seems to be swinging more towards the practicality for most people. Mostly family men that have to have a car with a boot. Kind of a forced option for some people? Bit like the fathers who buy a vauxhall Zafira turbos cause they have to have the space but need fun in their lives. Seems looks just doesn't matter to some hence aerodeck cluttering up the roads!

One thing I have learned....you deck dad's have a bond that even Elton John would be proud of!Then there's Alex and Phil who don't need them but have them anyway, my first M was a deck too! But I like fast estates and always have done. I think they lend themselves more to the sleeper brigade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just choice said estate this time around ! And id much rather have my deck than some fucking GM CRAP !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
