It seems a silly thing to love but a hot-hatchback 2+2 is such a great format for the dual purposes of:
(a) zipping around in a lightweight coupe; yet
(b) being able to load a lawnmower / week’s groceries / cat baskets / a fully equipped camp setup in the back as well.
This photo in the article shows it well:

I do enough trips to the dump with my TT mk3 to refer to it as a 250bhp flying dumpster. It’s like a baby El Camino with a lid :)
For comparison, here’s the TT’s trunk:

The 2+2 was a four seater for insurance purposes.
