Default What do you guys think about a 4-door GSR?

When you think about a 4-door GSR, do you see it more as a family car then a sports car? I been trying to get a 2-door GSR for a while now, and I been having a hard time finding a clean stock 94+GSR. It seems like these cars are in crazy demand here in the Bay Area and people are jacking up prices and STILL getting buyers. So I decided, the next best thing, a 4-door GSR. Seen a few for very reasonable price but it has two extra doors....I prefer a 2-door but I can't see spending a extra $2k for a 2-door when a 4-door is just the same but has more doors.....what should I do? Get the 2-door or 4-door?

If I had to do it all over again, I wished I have gotten a 4-door. It costs less to insure, it's not common, it's a bit roomier in the rear, and with an OEM spoiler it looks .

and I bet it's more quiet.

no hatch rattle, and slightly more sound dampening. Our hatches have NO sound insulation in the hatch area.

I love sedans.

Yeees.. 4 doors are great
I prefer the look of a 2door as well, but the 4 door is more convenient. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

There are sometimes I wish I had a 4 door... Ever try to fit three people... one 300 pounds, one 225 and the other 170 in a two door Integra? lol, I broke down, the 300 sat in front and I put down the two rear seats so the other two sat in the trunk with some extra room... lol, it worked and they seemed to enjoy it.

Edit : So, 4 people total if you include me.

i used to have one the only real benefit that you can get from it is more headroom and you can fit 5 people instead of just 4, and it has a mit more of trunk space. i would take a fourdoor over a twodoor any day.

I personally own a 2 door gsr and I had chosen 2 door because:

1. They look better
2. Sports Car
3. Look at Japan, 2 doors mainly

I personally think 4 doors is more towards a family sedan.

I love 4 doors for a bunch of different reasons including the ones in the other comments. In response to weight, I think the weight factor is that 4 doors weigh approx 500lbs more than a 2-door. I know weight can help a lot, but 500 really isn't that much if you wanted to gut the 4 door, you could get the weight to be almost the same. Thought the 4 door has a trunk, you can fit amazing amounts of things in a hatch. My friend fit a mattress into her hatch, and there is no way I could have done that in my 4 door. I'd say get a 4 door if you can get it for cheaper and find one.

3. Does it matter?

1. Isn't that what this post is asking for anyways? Opinion.

2. Do you really have to ask this question? I guess it would be more accurate to say, a 2 door is more "sports car like" than a 4 door.

3. I agree, who cares what they have in Japan?

1. They look better
2. Sports Car
3. Look at Japan, 2 doors mainly

I personally think 4 doors is more towards a family sedan.
1. In who's opinion?
2. They have the same motor, tranny, and suspension. Both seem like sports cars to me.
3. And this means?


Oh as far as the wieght difference. The 4 door weighs in at only 100lbs heavier than the 2 door. 100lbs is a lot, but it is not that drastic, unless you are building a complete race car.

Persoanlly, I love the 4 doors. I prefer all Honda 4 doors over the 2 doors, witht he exception of the Civic.
