So I have an 03 Coupe at the dealer getting the CD Player replaced. The loaner they gave me was an 04 Sedan with all-wheel drive.

Impressions:

Steering is heavier
Handling is not even comparable
Auto adjusting seats are nice

Overall, I have been hearing about the Sedan's being faster, but I don't notice it. The car itself feels a tad bit slower and heavier than my 03 AT Coupe, this may be due to the AWD??

It is obvious that the sedan won't handle as well but the thing that urks me is the road noise; this could be a result of the smaller wheels and maybe lower quality tires. I can see why a family would want to get the sedan because it does seem roomy. The rear seats in the coupe are only good for smaller people; I'm not a big person and my head pretty much touches the roof unless I purposely slouch.

In the end, I am glad I purchased the coupe, but I wouldn't realistically try to compare the two cars because they were made for different reasons.

 

i did think my sedan was alil faster, but the coupe handles way better stock. the coupe seems to like mods alil more than the sedan also.

 

and the coupe is much nicer

 

The engines are identical and mod for mod they would pretty much have the same outcome.

 

At to AT wise the heavier one will lose. unless you have a waay fatter driver ...every 100 lbs is a tenth in the 1/4

 

I have a 07 loaner, I just got it today. I like it a lot. The quality out surpass any other model G out there. In speed to the total interior it’s a fabulous car. I think I am being spoiled right now because once I get my 03 coupe back it will be disappointing.

 

Just sell a kidney and get a 07...LOL

 

my car has been in a couple times and to be honest they first loaner i got was an 06 sedan the suspension was so sloppy it had about 6000 miles on it the 2 one was an 05 sedan it handled 10 times better but not comparable to a coupe as for power i dont even think it touches it but i have some mods done to my car

 

my 03 6mt is in for warranty and I have an 05 sedan loaner at the moment. Terrible, i can literally floor it from a roll at 20 mph running at around 2k rpms and do not feel the car begin to move until the needle hits about 4.5k rpms. Terrible throttle response. Granted that its a loaner and the tranny is porbably trashed, its really bad. The keyless is nice but lame. Can't figure out why its not push button start like a lexus, why turn a **** without a key when its easier to turn it with the key in. just me .o2 cents

 

i guess i should say my sedan was auto hahahha. i wanted to make the coupe feel better
