Anything wrong with sedans?

Hey, I'm new here and I'm just wondering about the differences between a 7th gen coupe and 7th gen sedan. I see a lot more people with coupes though, is there something that the sedan lacks?

well...i got a coupe cause it's more sporty looking...that's why i didn't get a sedan. Plus most people see the sedan as a family vehicle to...that's just my take on it.

Coupe is a bit faster, because sedan weighs a lil bit more. What do u mean when u say "differences" as in performance or looks.

My sedan is alot more sporty looking than some of the coupes. There's a thread around here called post your sedan pic and you'll see they can be made to look better. Otherwise actual performance is about the same. Otherwise the only differences are some physical dimension stuff and a few other things like headlights and interior light colors.

To me the coupes are dead sexy. But it is all a matter of personal taste the sedans are great too but they just look and feel less sporty IMO.

i chose the coupe over a sedan because it looks more sleeker and sporty. IMO, the sedan rear looks ugly so thats a reason i didnt get it.

sedan

The LX sedan is actually lighter than the EX coupe by 90lbs and the EX sedan only weighs 9lbs more than the EX coupe. I'm talking about 5 speeds

thats what i read some where on this site before. people were trying to say coupes are faster when they are only about 10lbs lighter. is the ex heavier because of the sun roof? lightest is prolly the dx because of no power windows...

whatever...

*in steps the sedan guru*

the main difference is that the sedan has a lot LESS body kits and stuff, thats about it

otherwise there really isnt too much of a difference.. but before you buy, look in the sedan threads.. lots of sick sedans in there

well the ex is heavier cause of the larger stablizer bars, as well as extra things, like the sun roof motor and extra wiring and stuff

but then again, the sedans AREN'T built in the US... either in canada or japan, most everyone who had a coupe that rode in my car said it was quicker than their coupes

personally i think the sedans are better because the rear 2 doors make it more functional, u can unload and load ppl into the car a lot faster

the sedans have more headroom than the coupes, probablly about an inch or more

sorry i just love the sedan, cause theres like no modded sedans in my area other than me

personally..i think the rear for both coupe and the sedan is a disaster on the 7th gen, well, better on the coupe...but sedan is a real disaster...

and i am going for sedan......same performance...i rather take the two extra doors...besides...the more doors, the less chances i will be attracted to cops....

i am a bigger fan of performance over looks...sedan is good for me...be honest to you, i will sit in the car pushing it rather than standing outside staring at it... and I really don't want the attraction from others....

and for those who 'feels' either one goes faster, it's just psychological effect... or it's just the slight difference of two vehicles..live with it..two are basically the exact the same stuff other than the outside...

I guess it all depends on peoples tastes. I had a coupe and my wife has a coupe now. For what we wanted when we bought them all we needed was a coupe, and we also liked the style and looks over the sedan. If I was going to buy another civic now, I would buy a sedan. I actually like the look now. The new headlamps, and the body kit is a welcome change and it really makes the look of the civic so much better....I had a 2k1 and she has a 2k2...The front end was very bland compared to what it looks like now.

I have a 2k3 lx sedan(wifes car) and a 04 vp coupe.The sedan is more functional with kids and stuff but feels less sporty because the seats are higher and not as comfortable.The coupe is way more fun to drive,my wife has a countdown (1 more year) to payoff so she can get a coupe to.
