If it leaks, the salt can migrate into all the nooks & crannies & you will get corrosion.
Just having it in the trunk can also corrode electrical components & connections.
I've used granular limestone.
It's heavy for it's volume & works great if you need to sprinkle a little under the tires.

I play hockey (goalie) and I manage to fit all my equipment with ease, I fold down the back seats slide 2 sticks through the opening, throw my pads inside the car (back seats) and my bag fits "perfectly" snug in the trunk.
Or if you have more important things to haul...
I loaded the coupe up with 11 2-4's and made a trip to the beerstore
Good luck!

I was leaning heavily against the sedan, but as time passes the X is starting to look like a decent alternative

As for all your equipment, you are going to be limited with the coupe in terms of other passengers...whereas with the sedan you can fit 2 more in the back seats and they have their own door. I think the sedan has a 60/40 split in the back so that also lets you throw 2 hockey bags in the trunk and other stuff on the folded seat potion (still keeps 1-2 back seats open).
Sounds like you have more stuff to carry than I do, so I would say the sedan would be your better buy, practicality wise.
