Couple Questions for the Sedan/coupe Si drivers

PistolaDeAgua · 04-03-2008, 12:19 AM

I finally picked out what type of car I'm going with but I'm debating if i should go with an 08 Sedan si or 08 Si coupe. I currently drive an 1998 Honda civic ex and i love it. It just time for me to move on and sell it and get a newer car. I wondering is the 60 pounds on the sedan enough to make it that much slower?

Also i notice there is a couple Greddy Cat-back Exhaust System for sale on nopi.com i was wondering which model is the best, for the coupe and are there any greedy cat-back exhaust for the sedan?

Don't think about the weight difference like it's going make or break you. (think about your passenger weight).

May I suggest basing your decision on practicality. Do you need four doors? Do you haul people often? Do you think the coupe is ugly because it's a notch back and not a hatch?

:P

*biased*

I've driven both and they felt about the same to my butt. I think you'd have to find a driver who has done track runs at the same track and with similar conditions in both cars stock to see a difference. I'm sure there's someone on here who has.

The deciding factor for me was city parking. small spots, easier to open the shorted sedan door while wedged like a sardine.

Thats why I'm leaning towards the sedan because the back on the coupe is a big turn off to me. But its still a hard choice. Colors are killing me too. I dnt know what color i want. Going from feji, white, black.

I'm not just saying his because I own one, but there are enough Fiji's out there. Just get White. It's seriously the best color on these cars if you ask me.

It's really a personal decision whether you get the coupe or sedan seeing as they are basically the same except for the number of doors, I replaced my '03 Ex coupe with an Si sedan, that decision was based on the fact that I have a daughter now and the car seat thing is just more practical with a sedan. I love coupes but I needed the convenience of the sedan.

I've always had Camaros, till now. 4 doors comes in soo handy. If i had to buy another car today, it would definitely have 4 doors.

Dar-Dar · 04-03-2008, 11:57 AM

hey dont make fun of my car's round back. lol. check whats best for you. youll probably like the 4-door more. (im not saying that i hate my FG2, i love it to death)

7002iSciviC · 04-03-2008, 12:11 PM

this is all totally up to you. Coupe sporty look (2 door) or the Sedan's convience (4 door). I personally think Sedan would be a great choice..... down the road youll need a 4 door car to haul your wifey plus a baby chair back to your car and on coupe ITS POSSIBLE to do not ITS DEFFINITELY TOUGH unlike the convience of 4 door. I own Coupe and doesn't regret getting it, i get tons of compliments about my car but sometime i wished ive gotten sedan plus sedan with conversion + lowered = TEH SEX !!!!!

color????? its totally up to you

i own a FIJI, i was also considering GG and WHITE and RR but in the end FIJI BLUE PEARL won the battle since its such a beautiful color and blue is my fav color

habanero red sedan!! ...

I heard the sedan actually had better weight distribution and has a slightly longer wheelbase.
So coupe might feel more nimble agility wise, while the sedans long wheelbase will track better in a straightline, and def feel more stable at high speeds

I have never regretted getting the 08 Si sedan. There is plenty of room. I've hauled furniture when putting down the rears seats. The tail end looks 20x better than that of the coupe.

My g/f has a 07 coupe and is jealous now that she's seen my sedan.

ct20 · 04-09-2008, 02:03 PM

Unless you just have something against the sedan, I think it would be your best bet...IMHO.
Easier to carry stuff, easier to get people in and out without tearing up the interior. The 60 pounds you probably won't even notice...
Oh...and the sedan looks better...:-)
