I love my coupe, but hatches are the classic choice... 4 doors are also clean, you can't lose with an ek....

but I guess I vote sedan

hatch..
is more fun and small,
but i live in Mexico and here we don't have many HB
that's why i prefer hatch

and the back seat area is more bigger.

Love my coupe, but if I decide to build it into a track car, I will get a 4dr as a daily driver. I love how they look. I'm not that into hatches, though they look nice.

IF you cant decide, or dont care go with a eg Hb. I mean what your building it for is key but you didnt *specify. I have a ek coupe Im building for Timeattack but I choose that because I cant stand hatches. Integras are great for that type of racing very rigid from factory. Ls/Type-R, GSR no because of moonroof.

If its just a DD/street or whatever go for the 4 door. Gut out your rear doors completly and weld em shut. ;D

def coupe if you ask me, but thats because i love my ex coupe :D

hatch would be nice and light, 4 doors too heavy. coupe is a nice in between and they LOOK like theyre meant for racing.

LS's have moonroofs. RS and ITR's don't. I agree with the moonroof, though. I always hated them. Loved my ITR and love my HX with no moonroof.

I think it all depends what you're aiming for...

Hatch: weekend fun car/track car
Coupe: fun dd/weekend track
4 door: nice dd

Or something like that.

I would personally just get whatever I come across first thats the cleanest and best deal.

Hatches are bomb! But sedans are the perfect sleeper! .
