Default Deciding on buying Civic.. need advice?!

Hello guys. My vw golf today broke down. the clutch cable apparently snapped. I need to buy a new car and I have decided to purchase a civic coupe or civic sedan. I will be purchasing the base model only with air conditioner and a 5 speed. I want to know how you guys like the civic and which one i should choose? civic coupe or sedan?the coupe is cheaper. also how is the craftmanship and built quality and reliability of the car so far?

thanks for all your helP!!!

If it's between a coupe or sedan, I'd get a coupe.

Reliability? You've got to be kidding me. I can't believe you just asked about the reliability of a Honda!

They should be exactly the same in quality, etc. The only choice is your needs, and style. The few hundred $$ is nothing in the long run. The only thing I would note is that the coupe can get dings easy because there is no sdie molding. But I would still get the coupe.

if you're looking for a car that is pretty much comparable to your old golf you might as well get a hatch(EK). Those can be really quick too...that would be my choice if I had to do it over again.

out of a coupe or sedan id get a Coupe EX..youll enjoy having vtec and there is mods galore available for it...

if you go for a hatch get a CX(base model) or an SI(5th gen)

5th Gens are the most popular id say because they arent very expensive and dont require mounts to make a b series engine fit...

I myself prefer the 4th gen Civic Sedan & CRX but the hatch seems weird lookin to me sometimes...
