sedans are by far the better looking of the two in my opinion of course that is why i bought mine.

the one thing that i don't like about the 2010 si sedan is the chrome piece above the license plate instead of the body color one the older models have

I wasn't interested in the 8th Gen until I learned it had a k20 that pushed more than 160 at the wheels.

I got the coupe cause I was always a fan of the em1 in electron blue.

The K20 did it for me too because I wasn't a big fan of the base models 147hp... I ended up with the Coupe because it was cheaper than the Sedan when I was shopping...

it really depends on what you're looking to achieve with the car, if you want the ctr conversion or if you have a family, get the sedan. if you want a more sporty look and higher insurance, get a coupe. but i personally like the coupe more than the sedan because its more suitable for my daily needs. but dont get me wrong, both cars, if they're done up right, look very clean. but i also dont like having a sedan because then everyone is gonna want a ride and what not and it does get annoying. trust me i've dealt with it for a couple years, thats why i prefer the coupe. the weight difference between the 2 is like 60 pounds or something, and thats a negligible difference when you have the cars side by side. so hopefully i gave you some insight.

If I was trying to decide, this picture would make me get a coupe...no offense.

No, the fact if a girl (~50% of the world population) drives a car is a deciding factor for a car you're paying for is just asinine.

You buy the car that suits your needs. That's why these threads are always retarded.

Need 4 doors? Get a sedan
Don't care? Get either
Want 2 doors? Get a coupe

Price - roughly the same
Performance - roughly the same
Availability - roughly the same

You're going to get a thousand replies with everyone saying something different. Who's actually buying the car though? You or are you buying it for some other random user here on HT?

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.

I would have bought the coupe Si if there would have been no Si sedan. I just thought the Si sedan was right for me now at 52. Now if that would have been 30 years ago, different story.

I should mention I apologize if I came off as a giant douche, that was quite the rough/stressful day haha

Well I can tell you that.a buddy has the sedan and it has more head room. Also there is more space in the sedan. I got a coupe and if I had to do it over it would be a hard choice for me.

Look at what you wann do to the car and YOUR needs. Chuck Norris(muffin man) defiantly tells you how it is and should be.

coupes look nice, but if you are a true jdm enthusiast you would go for the sedan hands down. why do you think the usdm mugen was made from a fa5?

in japan coupes don't even exist. looks i guess is a matter of opinion. i personaly like the sedan that's why i have one.

but none the less sedan is way more jdm and have way more jdm parts out there do to the fact japan does not make any parts specific to the coupes.

sedan FTW.

if you're a true jdm enthusiast, you would buy a type-r. not a usdm sedan.

fail. coupes dont exist in japan.

Obviously he mis-spoke, and meant to say that there are no coupes in Japan. I saw the typo as well, but his general point was unmistakable.

Agreed. I saw his typo literally one minute after he posted because I was on when he did, but it was obvious what he meant, so I refrained from correcting him.

Sedan will be cheaper on the insurance. Sedan is also less targeted by the po-po.
