Here is a better definition:

Sedan: a word that drives Mark Corbin crazy when used to describe Late Model
4 door Corvairs

(editor's note: it is a short drive)

Types of  sedan

Several versions of the body style exist, including four-door,  two- 
door, and fastback models.

A sedan seats four or more people  and has a fixed roof that is full- 
height up to the rear window. The roof  structure will typically have  
a fixed "B" pillar on sedan models.  Most commonly it is a four-door;  
two-door models are rare, but they  do occur (more so historically).  
In the U.S., the term sedan has  been used to denote a car with fixed  
window frames, as opposed to  the hardtop style without a "B" pillar  
and where the sash, if any,  winds down with the glass. However, true  
hardtops have become  increasingly rare.
