Hey guys,
So im going to get the Si soon and im just wondering if i should get sedan or the coupe version. Does the coupe have better handling because its smaller, or is the handling about the same.

Also the coupe version looks more visually appealing but the 4-door is more practical. For anybody who has the coupe, are the back seats comfortable or do they feel too claustrophobic and squished.

the backseats of the coupe are pretty comfy, but when it comes down to it, who cares? youll be in the drivers seat!

This is straight from Honda's site

Sedan:
Curb Weight (lbs., MT/AT) 2945 / NA
Weight Distribution (%, front/rear, MT) 60 / 40
$23060 Loaded

Coupe:
Curb Weight (lbs., MT/AT) 2886 / NA
Weight Distribution (%, front/rear, MT) 61 / 39
$23060 Loaded

The sedan is 59 lbs heavier. You gotta remember the coupe has huge *** doors and windows so the 2 doors weigh close to what 4 do. The sedan has better weight distribution and they cost the same. Go for the sedan and enjoy the fast car thats easier to live with.

I was convinced I would get the coupe last month. But when I put them side by side, I liked the lines of the sedan better. The profile of the coupe just doesn't do it for me. Those rear quarter panels seem to go on forever. And since I do occasionally carry passengers and the sedan's trunk is a canyon, I went with the sedan. And I wouldn't change that decision if I had to do it over again.

You know whats funny is that I had a 7thgen coupe now I have a 7thgen sedan cause I really got tired of no rear room...

Advantages:
Head room front & Rear
rear leg room
Less bouncy
Insurance cost

disadvantages:
more people think of it as less sporty... not that it matters or makes a difference. Especailly if you get an SI haha.

Nice work TRIZ.

I would say the coupe is probably the way to go unless youll be using the back seat alot.

Thanks for fixing this thread but why was my post about the weight differences removed? lol I dont think that was off topic.

the sedan looks better. way f'in better. technically speaking, the 7th gen sedan supposedly handles better than the coupe due to a slightly longer wheelbase, so amybe it's the same with the 8th.

I had a coupe now I have a sedan that should say enough. With the coupe I was paying $180/mo for insurance now im at $98 so its way worth it. I wouldn't own another coupe just cause there is no point and no real advantage. The only 2 door car I would own now would be a sport car (S2k, NSX, Miata and so on) There is no reason to own an econo-coupe or even something like an accord coupe (except its 6spd manual trans). The sedan is just much more well rounded.

imo honda has fudged up on every sedan they ever made.. there coupes are fantastical but looks wise every sedan they change the rear and make it look like dog ****. thats my opinion anyone who knows me here knows im a sedan hater. i dont look at civic sedans as something to mod. sorry. some people have made me think otherwise but 8 times out of 10 coupes and hatches (besides 7gen si's lol) forever

I have a coupe...i got it cause it was cheaper right then and there and I rarely ever drive anymore than 1 other person...however i wish i got the 4 door sometimes so it would easier to retrieve things when i throw them in the back seat...being 6'3" makes it not so fun hunting around in the back...

If I only had one car, I would definitely go with a sedan. I only bought a coupe because I know I have a sedan to fallback to if I needed the extra room.
