coupe or sedan, what do you prefer? - Page 4

Coupes. I just like the styling better, and performace (being a stiffer design). However, I wouldnt compare them if looking to buy. If I'm looking for function, everyday car, i'd look into sedans only. Sporty car/toy, only look at coupes.
The new civic looks pretty nice though btw.

Some cars look better with four doors, namely hatches. if you look at some of the bigger hatches...they just look like a truck with canopy. Plus if you have a full cage in it, the extra doors are nice to work on things behind the driver/codriver.

You can not beat the convenience of a four door. But two door car look great and generally handle better. Buy on of each (Ha Ha )

I usually don't carry passengers, so my coupe is just fine. When I do need to carry passengers, I'm willing to live with having to move the seat forward... plus, the back of the tC has more space than a lot of small four door cars, so that's not really a big deal. Tall people might be bumping their head on the hatch door however if the backseat has not been reclined slightly.

I have to agree with the majority here, I prefer the styling of coupes in general. However certain sport sedans and wagons can look just as cool. Actually, an agressively styled coupe or wagon can sometimes look better than a coupe. But for me carrying things, my dog, etc a sedan works better for me.

My wife is not a car enthusiast in anyway. I almost fell out of my seat when we were driving home tonight, keep in mind she generally goes for SUV's. She said when she hits VP level in a few years shes wants a 911 Turbo! But as long as we have a truck for towing things. I guess it goes to show that a sexy coupe can make anyone dream!

Personally I prefer four-doors. I like being able to carry four people comfortably, plus sedans tend to get noticed a lot less by the police so I can drive faster.

Give me a 4door hatch or an Audi A4 Avant. Plenty of doors to get in and out plus better cargo capacity than a sedan.

For a coupe you can NOT go wrong with my personal car. An E92 BMW 335i.

Twin Turbo, RWD, 300hp - 300lb ft. torque...

The shame of it is in the 50s and 60s coupes were as practical as sedans. You could put 6 people in a coupe which was called a 2 door Hardtop back then. You had the sportyness and the room. You could have your cake and eat it.

The only problems where the heavy doors that would sag over time. I had a 1980 Camaro that I had to have new door brackets installed to to the doors sagging. Heck, I even think the Camaro had more back seat room than the Impreza 4 door I had. LOL
