Stuff like this thread just makes me mad. Forums are for making friends and sharing experience with others not going around bashing other's choices.

If this gets too out of hand I will just delete the whole thing...

Practicality and preference. Some people just want 4 doors. It's as simple as that. Easier to access kids in the back or things needed for a family. Plus, it has a different look than the coupe, obviously. Some people, like myself, like to be different rather than the dominant coupe driver. Sure, I love the coupe and support anyone driving one, but I am a sedan guy. Also, if I had the money I would put some type of FI in it without a doubt. As many of said, look at Tims (ttrank) sedan. It's one of a kind and RIDICULOUS. The sedan people are ones daring to be different next to the z and g coupe drivers. And I must say, we do take the win most of the time in my book. Trust me, if you got behind the wheel of a FI Sedan, you would start to think twice about boosting a sedan. 21 years old being able to afford (by working my *** off) a g coupe or sedan, I chose the sedan.

Also, once again like many have said look at some other sport 4 door sedans:
M5, RS4,335i etc...

All in all, you can't argue or question why people boost a sedan. It's a hobby and if a sedan is what you prefer, then by all means, boost that mother effin sedan!

1. the weigh less than your fat azzed Coups.

2. We can carry more friends in CONFORT.

3. They have better ballance than the coupe. (maybe a bit top heavy)

4. They have a REAL trunk.

I could go on....

Guys a sedan for 15.5k with 60k miles yah or nah. Has a clean title also from a reputable dealer. Has new sides and bumper also so it has no black plastic on the bottom(but the car is the fugly silver color, yuck). Also dont worry about the miles, I have something up my sleeve that the OP would not like . Come on now FI in a sedan is pretty rare where I'm at. BMWs swarm my area. Or a coupe 70k miles clean title for 16k. Has front lip.
Thanks!

It all boils down to what you like the most.

No one has the right to tell anyone else what car to get or how to mod it. It's all up to the owner.

Yea. Thanks guys. I just looked at both of them and it is a hard choice. However I do like the coupe seats, exhaust, color, and some other small things. Aww man.

I agree with #2 & #4. But calling the Coupe a fatass is strange seeing how most sedans are also 3400+. A fat sedan calling a slightly heavier coupe "fatass" is pretty histerical. Like Homer Simpson calling Peter Griffin a "fatass" . Only the 07 Sedan guys have the right to call a G37 a fatass, since the weight difference between the 1st generation Coupe & Sedan is insignificant.

Also, what makes you think the sedan has "better balance" than the coupe?

As far as the original post: I think the OP needs to open up a little, because people with needs of a sedan can still have fun & make what they wish with their cars. Personally, if I needed a sedan, I would still mod the hell out of it
