Default 2 door or 4 door

Hey im thinking about picking up a em2, but either a 2 door or 4 door. I kno the 4 door will be cheaper on insurance but w/e. What i'd really like to know is, are the 4 doors smaller then the 2 doors? the 2 doors have such long backs when u look at them.

Which would you guys choose and why?
I have mixed opinions as they both can look good when properly done up

pretty sure the coupe and sedan are the same overall length. just that the coupe has more interior room for the front seats. im 6'4" so i like having hte extra room for my legs in the front seats. Pretty much look at waht ur needs are and choose off that.

yeah, both my cars have been coupes, and i love it. there's a lot of room in the back and the trunk, surprisingly. i thought i read somewhere in here that the coupe actually weighs more than the sedan... which is weird, but that might be a downside for ya.

If you're going to have back seat passengers on a regular basis (friends/kids/pets), then go for the sedan.

IMO, The only reason to really get a coupe is if you prefer the styling. (Not counting factors like body stiffness, curb weight, etc; but most people don't consider this unless it's a dedicated track car)

The sedan ranges from 15 - 30 pounds heavier than the coupe, and has the same wheelbase.

I disagree, but it's all down to personal opinion. I think the car looks proportionate, especially when compared to the RSX, which looks like it has a rather small rear end.

I live in Dominican Republic, and if I say maybe there's 30 to 40 EM2s in the hole country, I could be close to the real count, but ES2s are like the best selling car here and lots of people tuning them as well, so the ES2 scene is pretty packed and it's hard to look fresh there.

I always liked EM2s for being rare. Plus I usually don't carry more people than my gf and occasional friend.
