Be different kid, get a coupe! Are you going to all out track race? Drag race? Touring? Ex if you like power amenites, and of course that heavy *** moonroof!

Then go DX coupe, i believe it weighs somewheres around 2250 (gotta be careful cause everyone is so technical to the exact lb.) If you gut it right, you'll be right there with the hatches, and>>>>Different!

Don't listen to them...

Buy whatever you like... If it happens to be what your brother has then so be it.

If you like the hatch, I say get the hatch.

Sorry, I'm partial to hatches, they are all I've ever had.

Get a BMW.

Last thing we need is another 17 second drag car that looks ok going down the track.

EDIT: 25 pound dubz slow u down - 16 seconds would be pushing it

don't get a hatchback unless you really want it.

buy something else, if there's another car you want.

you're right, bmws need a lot of maintenance

Decide what you want to do go or show? I love my hatch because it has many after marker products available that will improve engine performance and looks. But do whatever you like, don't listen to others.

my buddy bought a car identical to mine. when i found out i wanted to punch him in the stomach....
.....then he asked me to hook him up with some parts

if you never see your bro then id say who cares but if you guys hang out a lot id say buy something different. thats just me though

Hatchback =
once you go hatch, u never go back!

get preferably a 6th gen hatch, so you wont be the same but like the other guy said, if you get a hatch similar to your bros, make it faster and make it look better...

Why not get a EK hatch? I think EK hatches are better looking since you're leaning more towards the looks, yet the EG hatch are way lighter. I'd go with the EK.

i agree. go with the ek. if not then just get a coupe. see my friend got a hatch before me so i decided to go coupe and were working together seeing how different things perform well on each other's car. i'm a big guy so the coupe fits well on me but if you want to be really light as a daily driver then go hatch but coupes are nice looking too. its gonna be YOUR car so its YOUR decision. hth

I know I'm just a lazy, slacker, comfort-loving creature at heart, and I know by comparison to other Civics' it's porky as hell, but I am very happy with my 95 EX coupe: A/C and power everything.(I even like my moonroof ) I like the looks of 6gen hatches, but I think 5gen coupes are pretty clean looking too.
