The estate handles better than the hatch and the sedan is stiffer still due to the smaller boot opening, small aperture between boot and passenger compartment and bonded rear screen.
I've had a couple of sedans and loved them but handling wise I still prefer the estate as the estate just feels heavier at the back and more weight means more weight transfer for LO-OS and the passive rear wheel steering.
