Sedan Si Owners....do you ever REGRET getting the Si-dan vs. the Coupe?

Prelude2Si · 10-20-2007, 06:22 AM

or is it usually always the other way around? The reason I ask is b/c I'm really starting to lean towards the sedan Si - it definitely has a more mature look, while still looking very sporty for a 4-door.

Any regrets w/ the Sedan? Any wish you could go back & get the Coupe instead?

Also, what color of sedan did you go with?

No regrets here. Fiji Si-dan. I actually traded a coupe in for it.

jonesthewine · 10-20-2007, 06:36 AM

I never considered the coupe...4 doors are a necessity ( 2 kids, and occasionally picking up a client at an airport and driving a few hundred miles). I waited for the sedan version for a year, delaying a new car purchase until early December 2006.

I selected Galaxy Gray Metallic for a subtle, non attention-attracting color.

IMO opinion the sedan looks a lot more refined and smarter than the coupe...

NHBP sedan here. I originally had my heart set on the coupe but when I actually looked at them side by side, I liked the lines of the sedan much better. The rear profile of the coupe looks odd to me. And four doors, a canyon of a trunk in a sporty package sealed the deal. No regrets whatsoever.

i do not regret buying the sedan over the coupe at all. I like both having 4 doors and the looks of the sedan especially the back. We also have more jdm options.

I do however sometimes question if geting NHBP was the best choice. But when i wash and wax the car, that doubt goes out of my mind.

nayilsi · 10-20-2007, 07:26 AM

this has been discussed b4.

when u got family...or u wanna just drive ur friends around, cause they are more important than u.....only then u get the 4 door.

plus, it has 4 doors....but lower front room than the coupe, and the rear room is debatable.

All have been discussed.

The Sidan has greater availability. Whereas the coupes dont,and thats why u see more coupes on the roads and not in dealerships.

Given all the points above, most of the coupe owners on 8th still regret getting the 2 door and are now on drugs.

e60deluxe and nayilsi are the only ones who are happy with the coupe, and think the Sidan is not that practical.

I have a white 4drsi,navi debadged. Everyone cann't beleive its a civic and they love it over the coupe.

my apartment parking lot has mine (NHBP fg2) and a GG Sidan. The coupe manages to turn heads, the Sedan just turns mine, cause I go OH LOOK SI.

cornerstrike · 10-20-2007, 09:18 AM

No kids yet. Had a FBP Si coupe and switched it for another FBP Si Sedan to prepare for kids. But I actually started liking more then the coupe once I started driving. The 4 doors and the extra interior space is great to have, whether you have kids or not. No regrets here.

I have nothing more to add. Well said.

***fl07si*** · 10-20-2007, 11:15 AM

the si-dan is awsome. just got mine two days ago. im 22 and wanted the sedan. its galaxy grey it looks awsome drives hella good as well. i use to drive a prelude and it was little, so decided to get 4 doors.

CZ-75 · 10-20-2007, 11:20 AM

I traded an Integra GS-R coupe for a Sedan and I have no one to ride around in the back and I still wouldn't change a thing about the decision.

Hockeyman8282 · 10-20-2007, 11:23 AM

i kinda want a coupe now...

cdc3rd · 10-20-2007, 11:28 AM

The only thing I use my back seat for is my backpack.
It is a hell of a lot easier to open the back door to put in/take out my bag than using the trunk or passenger seat.

I wouldn't trade my 4 door for a new 2 door.

Driversound · 10-20-2007, 11:31 AM

I bought the sedan for practicality. Although I like the front end of the coupe and back end of the sedan, that will soon all change when I do a csx front end conversion. I test drove both the coupe and the sedan and I like having the two extra doors. I specifically got galaxy gray so I don't have to wash it and hide the dirt.

Kingoheartz69 · 10-20-2007, 11:59 AM

nhbp have had it for 4 months, do not regret it 1 bit!! love the maturity, but yet sexy sporty look of it. happy with my decision.

tite681 · 10-20-2007, 12:09 PM

No regrets. I have a 4 door lifestyle.

***Undispu7ed*** · 10-20-2007, 12:15 PM

Front of the sedan turns me away. Also the HFP lip kit on the Sedan looks like ass IMO. The coupe is just much sportier for me. Also, I do not like being a taxi. I had a 4 door car for 2 years and all I did was taxi people.

Friends or family: "Hey let's take Jon's car, it has 4 doors"

Me: "Dammit"

As opposed to

Friends or family: "Let's take someone else's car, Jon's car is too small"

garrnew · 10-20-2007, 04:11 PM

Traded in a GG LX Coupe for a NBP Si Sedan. Never happier.

I didn't want to buy the "same" car again. That was one factor. At the time, I also thought the coupe's wing was too aggressive but now I wish the Sedan's was the same or more similar. There's not even any clearance between the trunk. I really like the Mugen USDM wing and hope to get that some day.

Sedan>Coupe anyone who tells you different are people that are sad because they didn't buy one.
