#Hatch

Im looking for a project car i was wondering if you guys think the eg coupes or hatches are better. Does the weight make that much of a difference. Also what has a better look?

The si hatch (eg) came with 4 wheel disc brakes and the best 5th gen engine...that's plenty of reason to go with the hatch over the coupe.

What ever you prefer. I chose hatch for cargo room.

And for the wieght diff. It's only like 200lbs difference.

Would 200lb's make much of a difference in drag racing or autox?

Solomon1468

Well...it's 200 pounds...that's almost 10% of the weight of the car. In a 6500lb Charger srt8? No, not much of a difference. In a civic? Yeah, a definite difference.

Better off with the hatch.

How it looks is something that you must decide for yourself. There is like a 100-200 lbs. weight difference. Get whatever feels right. After all, its YOUR car.

Look in the classified on here. Search your Local ads. Craigslist, autotrader, you local homeless man or drug dealer. Just search.

Definitely Hatch. Better handling than the sedan/couple.

Hatches just look way better too.

I love the hatches as well, but I bought a coupe (EX model) because I wanted power windows, sunroof, mirrors and locks.

I'm pretty sure the only hatch that has any power options is the Si (eg). I believe it has power sunroof and mirrors? Don't quote me on that.

I would love the SI hatch but theyre impossible to find in my area at least.
