depends on your needs. if you'll be driving alone or with one person majorit of the time stick to the coupe.

if you've got a fam or bring alot of people often, stick with sedan.

I stick with coupes because I feel they look better, even though I've seen some Sedans that were so sick!... Plus not many people can carpool with me cause my seat is far back and saves me the hassle of cleaning my rear floor mats lol..

Mine is for a coupe and the was before my daughter, now we wish we had gotten the sedan cause I'm now stuck with the car seat in the tiny back.

Yeah it all depends on use.. if I were in your situation the Sedan would be best.. Plus to be honest, I probably would have gotten a Sedan if they made them in '06-'07 lol..

Probably referring to aesthetics like the coveted jdm conversion.

It all depends on your situation and if your married,etc.Another thing you have to take into consideration is that coupes are a tad bit less expensive than sedans.

Re: Sedan or Coupe? 8th gen Si?
 
For what it's worth, here's the pros and cons, IMO:

Coupe:

Cheaper
Lighter
Sportier-looking

Sedan:

Stiffer body
Better weight distribution
Practicality is truly astounding.

The coupe's back seat isn't exactly small. It's just less accessible than in the sedan.

Also, if it's going to be mostly you driving it, without anyone else...consider the coupe. I will say that the interior layout of coupes is very relaxed and luxurious - My other car is a 2006 Accord coupe and the difference between that and the Accord sedan is night and day in terms of the overall aesthetics from the driver's seat. You sit further back, so you can enjoy more of the sunroof...the sedan versions of both Accord and Civic are very upright and businesslike.

i heard once that the sedan has slightly better handling, but i'm not sure how valid of a statement it is

Ross 12-14-2009 04:17 PM

Re: Sedan or Coupe? 8th gen Si?
 
^A sedan body is more rigid than a coupe body from what I have read, because four smaller holes in the body makes for a stiffer chassis as opposed to two larger ones.

Also, the sedan's weight distribution is slightly better, even though it's a little heavier.

Re: Sedan or Coupe? 8th gen Si?
 
That comes from the minor extension in the wheel base and marginally better weight distribution. The difference in weight between the sedan and coupe is only 30 kg.

Funny how many people swear by the sedan. And I have nothing against a Sedan Si.....but answer me this.........AND BE HONEST......

How many of you Sedan owners would have gotten the Si Coupe if Honda had never even made or released any kind of design concept for the SEDAN Si?? Tell the truth now.

If this is your deciding factor for a car....you shouldn't buy a car.

I like the SI sedan much more than the coupe.

What you're asking is if the SI sedan didn't exist at all, period, would you buy a SI coupe? I'm sure the answer would be mixed.

Some could afford an older STI or Evo
Some can't and would stick with the cheaper SI
Some would have an RSX-S
etc

wasn't even interested in the 8th gen until i saw the si sedan. i already own a rsx type-s and a prelude Si so i have no need for another coupe.
