Default Coupe or Hatch for turbo

ok this is going to sound weird but i have been saving/buying/reading for the last two years and i finally have enough money to do a turbo on a honda. i also have almost all the parts i need for the turbo on a b18b. i just need a car to put it all in! i want an eg coupe, but they are so hard to find in good shape. my friends think i should go with the hatch, but i dunno. there are a million of them..what do you all think?? coupe or hatch?

me personally, i'd do it in a 4-door. its just for bragging rights. the majority of people favor hatches and coupes. i think a sedan would stand out better.

coupes are pretty hot as long as your not going to be mad at yourself for the extra weight

coupes are cheaper than over priced hatches. 4drs are even cheaper.

Hatch all the way if you're looking to save some weight. Stick with CX, VX, or old school DX.

Coupe all the way

That way you have a trunk.

I think coupes look just as good if not better than hatches.

If you are really concerned about weight then go with a hatch.

Arggghh...

I love my coupe

It's nice to be different, but it's better to be fast.

IMO there are two options:

The lightest car you can find (a hatch usually)

Or a car with all the luxuries (EX coupe, integra)
