Since this car will also have body work done to it (I'm assuming, anyway), I don't think a couple hundred pounds will really matter that much. In that case, I vote for the 6th Gen, and a hatch to be more specific. I really like the idea of mixing in some JDM OEM parts, and that's harder to do with a 5th Gen. Also, 6th Gens are a little fresher looking, and the interior is nicer. Don't get me wrong, the 5th Gens are great, but I like the looks of a 6th Gen a little better.
