haha, you better look for a good place to hide becuase this thread is about to get shredded by other memebrs. lol.

But anywho, if both the hatchback and coupe had the same motor then the hatch would be quicker since its lighter by a few hundred pounds. But its really up to your style and taste, some prefer the style of the coupe over the hatch and vice versa. But the hatch is a more popular choice though.

the hatch has more potential imo. went from a 00 celica gts to a 99 cx. suck handling at first but a few hundred $$ can change that. Its lighter and has just as many options as the coupe .

hatch =

It doesnt have as many options as the coupe. There is no sunroof available, nor are there power windows,locks, or mirrors, hell could you get cruise in the hatch?
