Why did you buy a sedan over a coupe????
what insurance companies look at is called an IRG of a car its anywhere between 5-100 each car has a different irg actually the G35 sedan/coupes are way cheaper to insure then acura tls nissan maximas, its a pretty safe car, and the insurance on it is suprisingly low
my 00 lexus es300 ins. is more then the G
Less traffic tickets and less money ($3k sticker difference). Actually got out of a 90 in a 60 ticket after telling the judge that I got rid of my sporty car and was now driving a family sedan
Honestly, the first time I saw a G Sedan I thought it was hideous. I couldn't contemplate how someone could buy one over something like a 350Z..then I grew up.
Also, I've always thought the lines on the Coupe were a little on the feminine side. Hopefully that doesn't offend anybody.

Love sedans. First car was a coupe, that got old fast. I like having a usable backseat and don't have to fold down the front seats every time someone needs to get into the back. Plus AWD sedans look sexier imo.
you're right on the modded coupe comment beign a dime a dozen thought. The Sedans on this forum alwyas makes me want to get one.

...beacuse my first car was a sedan - woot, woot 90 nissan maxie!!!
- because every accident I was in I was in a sedan and walked away (2-thank you lord),
- because my baby seats need room too,
- beacuse insurance was way lower and it was the only 6mt I could find in a 150 mile radius,
- because I become a sleeper when I go to the grocery store for diapers, (lol)
- because a modded sedan is just **** all day,
- and I enjoy the fact that my rear seats recline.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I wanted the ability to carry my music gear/instruments, comfortably accommodate family/friends and coworkers, and wouldn't have to sell because of future life changes.
When looking for a G I was considering both the coupe and the sedan, but every time I looked at a coupe I felt like part of a cookie cutter's rampage. The Sedan seemed more "business classy". Also, not often would you see PROPERLY modified sedans (IMO more elegant than coupes)--it was unique and I was up to the challenge! I got a great deal from a first-owner with low mileage and clean CarFax--done deal!

I drove coupes for the first 8 years after I got my license in 1990 because I hated the look of a sedan. Even my parents had coupes (dad had an '85 Camaro and mom had an '80 Cutlass coupe). I started with a big-*** 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo, then an '87 Dodge Shadow Turbo, to an '85 Monte Carlo SS. After those cars I bought a '91 Accord coupe to commute to college with, then sold it and bought a Cutlass Supreme coupe new in 1996. I traded that car in '98 for my first sedan - a '96 Chevy Impala SS. They were sleepers - a 4-door hotrod with the iron-head LT1 under the hood. She ran a best of 14.6 at 91 with nothing more than a K&N and Flowmaster catback, and the car was 4300lb. with me in it and half a tank of gas.
Anyway, after that car, I had a '00 Sebring Convertible, then an '01 Maxima SE (another sedan) and then went back to coupes - my next two daily drivers were an '86 Cutlass Salon and an '87 Monte SS. Those two were tough climbing in and out of the back with a carseat, so my next DD was an '01 Jeep Cherokee. I drove it 6 years, and finally bought my '06x this past February.
After all this, I'll answer the question.
I picked a sedan because - it's easier for my kids to get and out of (especially in crappy weather), it has a usable trunk for groceries and runs to Home Depot, and the AWD makes it a breeze to get to work in the snow and park in snow piles. The G also reminds me of my first sedan - my old Impala SS. The G is quick, nimble, and luxurious (like my Impala), and is great for long road trips. It's also the total opposite of my Cherokee, which is something I felt I deserved after 6 years and 45K miles in a double solid-axle tank like my old Jeep. 
I still have a soft spot for coupes, especially the Montes. I've owned 4 of them over the years.
