Your topic was fine. It didn't say "Why is the Sedan better than a Coupe?", it just asked "Why the Sedan?". There are valid reasons for getting a Sedan over a Coupe, and most of the posts reflect that. Empirically, I wanted AWD and 4 doors, emotionally, I think the Sedan is better looking.

Iv been interested in this topic for a while and looking to get some feedback on it. my reason is simple im not a coupe guy no offense but coupes are for chicks IMO And a sedan had enough room for me.
SO THE SIMPLE QUESTION IS WHY DID YOU BUY A SEDAN OVER A COUPE OR A COUPE OVER A SEDAN??? COUPE GUYS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN INTO THE CONVO

This was actually my dilemma when I first started searching for a 6MT back in 08. I used to think the sedans were hideous and almost pulled the trigger on an Athens Blue coupe! But then I started coming across pictures of sedans that made them look irresistible! I quickly realized it was the terrible photog skills of the delearships that were unflattering for the sedans because I fell in love with a photo that truly captured the sleek contours and styling. I was hooked after that. The icing on the cake was the fact that I can cross rotate the tires! True story!

as for the original question asked... I bought a G coupe cuz my buddy was selling it cheap. he had the radio/ac problem, the door lock actuator problem, the gas guage problem, an HID ballast was out(super confused as he kept changing bulbs lol) and a few other relatively easy fixes that just ended up driving him crazy. I told him just to google these things but he was just to lazy to do it. hes the typa guy who goes to the dealership for everything, cuz they are the "professionals" lol. needless to say, he was pissed when i came back a couple weeks w/ those problems fixed :P now i just gotta replace my cam position sensors and im set

1 folding table, 3 folding chairs, 1 full sized ice chest/cooler, 1 dufflebag, 14"x12" box of detail supplies, shoebox full of quick detail stuff, 2.5' trq wrench, 2 passengers - all to Autocross event to perform as well or better than comparably modded coupes - then back home comfortably.
Can't do that in a coupe -

No you wouldnt have... you would have bought teh coupe lol coming from someone who has owned a Z and G coupe, I can tell you that they both ride differently. yeah they have A LOT of the same parts and are extremely similar, i could whip my Z around corners rather effortlessly. even when i didnt want to whip it, it would find a way to whip itself sometimes lol and also, the G feels heavier, yeah its a couple years older than my Z was but it feels a lot slower. Even when i put 20's on my Z it didnt feel this slow :[ yeah, my Z was 6MT compared to the G's 5AT but I've driven my friends 6MT G coupe and I've test driven 5AT Z's and its the same problem but on the other side, the G's suspension is waaaaaaay better for daily driving. My Z's was to stiff for my taste. but thats just my 2 cents...
