Bump ay? I think Ill only drive coupes aside from an Audi A4 or an Evolution IX which im scratching to find with the options and color I want. I think of it like this: A 4 door invites carrying passengers....which I dont like. I keep all my supplies in the trunk anyway and am able to hide stuff in my coupe on the floor better. A finally by putting stuff in my trunk I am evening out weight distribution therefore making my car handle better!

My next *me* car will have 4 doors. I'm done with coupes until the kids are off to college.

I have both and like both. I didn't and wouldn't own a sedan until last year. I have 2 now. I have a '99 Eclipse which is a 2 dr hatchback, an '03 Neon R/T sedan, an '08 WRX sedan my ranger which is regular cab 2 door...

I alway owned a 4 door sedan but this year I wanted a new Honda Civic so I went to the dealership and compared the 4 door and 2 door Civics and the 2 door civic coupe was the best looking of the two and I thought I mostly drive alone , and once in a while my wife sits in the passenger seat ,so why not get the coupe? I'm so glad I got the coupe it looks and feels faster than it really is.

I traded my truck in for a G35 coupe. Additionally we have a Tahoe so family time = Tahoe, fun time = G35 coupe!

I believe if you want a true luxury car then go for a sedan even though some luxury cars have both coupe and sedan versions on certain models; for muscle cars and true sports cars no question 2 door; suvs look better with 4 doors even though some come in 2.

i just love this, it has the look of a coupe but is a sedan...

Coupe, definitely, since I have no need for the extra set of doors (or a back seat, for that matter; I've had people sit in my back seat maybe 5 times in the last year). Also, I haven't owned a sedan yet, and I intend to keep it that way (my next car is most likely going to be an RSX, and after that it'll probably be a 3 Series coupe; listen to me, predicting my choice of cars like 10 years into the future).

Since this thread got bumped, I'll say that I *still* prefer sedans. I don't think I've *ever* had a passenger in the back of the S8, but I still find 'em more practical.

OK..there *are* a few coupes (but only two-door ones) that I kinda like...but they're all mega-buck cars that I wouldn't use for daily drivers anyhow.

I like my sedan's more. I'm a sucker for big boats. I drive a Buick Regal and love it. I'm also a sucker for Audi A8's, Lexus LS430/460, BMW 750i, 5 series, anything big! Don't get me wrong I like certain coupes, camaro, 335i, corvette, hell I even bought a Volkswagen GTI hatchback.

Coupe and convertible. I've got a Lexus SC430, BMW Z3, Porsche Boxster, and Lexus SC300 in my stable. Am looking at Honda S2000 and Mazda Miata to add to the collection.

Bringing back an older thread

I prefer 2-doors, and here's why:

1. I feel that 2-doors get more attention to detail, both in the front and back seat areas. 4-doors seems to get all the glim and glamor up-front, but then throw crap together in the back to make it a 4-door. Exceptions are those nice 4-doors, usually luxury (ie Lexus, MB, 7-series BMW) that usually include some attention to small things and more buttons besides the standard window switch.

2. I'm 6'2" and 2-doors are usually easier for me to in and out.

3. 2-doors are usually more sporty looking, and I'm a sport-car kind of guy

4. I don't like to "haul" passengers around, excluding the wife, so I have no need for 4-doors.

5. Coupes are just plain sexier than 4-doors!

(very few exceptions)
