Exchange civic 2 door for 4 door?

I would like to buy a 2004 civic 4 door. I have a 2003 2 door civic but i wish i had gotten the 4 door model cause its bigger inside and has better headroom.

Does anybody think its worth it to exchange my 2 door for a 4 door

I love my Sedan, and I would definitely trade for a 4 door. But once again, that's my opinion. Do what you want and think is right for you. I hated having to wait for people to pile in the back seat when each can have their own entrance. Don't know if you care about that. I have moving my seat also!

sedans are for convenience and ease. 2 doors are for men who are PIMP. so if u wanna be a FRUIT, go trade in for a 4 door.

Yeah and...

I personally didnt like the sedan's when I bought my car. I really like them now and there are certain ones I see and am just like DAMN that looks good, but for me, i want a coupe. I love my coupe and having a 2 door. But i rarely drive more than 1 person...so it works for me.

sedans are sexy, also the doors are lighter than coupe ones.. altho the wieght is more distributed evenly, also the roof is way higher in the sedan than in the coupe so if you are taller than most.. get a sedan

if your going to trade the 2 door in for a 4 door, you can be more pimp than Alex1 if you get a IS300, STI, or EVO

Does anybody think its worth it to exchange my 2 door for a 4 door
Here's the facts:

Coupe Interior
Front Head Room: 36.9 in. Front Hip Room: 50.2 in.
Front Shoulder Room: 52.8 in. Rear Head Room: 35 in.
Rear Shoulder Room: 52.6 in. Rear Hip Room: 46.7 in.
Front Leg Room: 42.5 in. Rear Leg Room: 32.8 in.
Luggage Capacity: 12.9 cu. ft. Maximum Seating: 5

Sedan Interior
Front Head Room: 38 in. Front Hip Room: 51.2 in.
Front Shoulder Room: 52.6 in. Rear Head Room: 36.3 in.
Rear Shoulder Room: 52 in. Rear Hip Room: 49.8 in.
Front Leg Room: 42.2 in. Rear Leg Room: 36 in.
Luggage Capacity: 12.9 cu. ft. Maximum Seating: 5

Most differences are an inch or less, except for Rear Hip and Leg Room. You said you want the sedan for the better headroom, well it's about an inch. Not worth trading cars IMO. If you truly want a bigger car that's easier to get in and out of, then you can get a new LX Accord for about 2 grand more than a new EX Civic.

I think trading for the same type car is silly unless you're going to better yourself in the process. At least get a bigger car.

Most girls like the 4 door action..cause its easier to get in the car..rather than a 2 door where you gottuh bother the front passenger to get to the back...JayFreazy knows what hes talkin bout.

i thought it was just civics... **** i like the sti, evo, the is300 i dunno, it looks nice but its been rated the worse in some magazine. it needs the baby I4 in it so its more agile.

im just raggin on the sedans cuz i felt like being dumb. but honestly sedans are nice though. i like them both the same. although it might look better without the fat door guard strip thing. im not too sure i havent seen anyone do it. someone get a pic up asap.
