No children, enjoy the coupe.
I had a sedan and SUV for years. One day I said WTF. I have no children, why don't I have a sports car. Now I have the Coupe. Next purchase 911 Porsche.

Add me to the list of sedan owners that would love to own a coupe. To me, the coupe is the best looking car out there, in the 30k price range. I know it would be impossible for me as I couldnt afford the chiropractor bills from hoisting junior in and out the back seat. I still catch myself thinking I could pull it off, then wifey smacks me back into reality...

i have the coupe 6MT...... sometimes when i am in traffic, i wished i got the 5at, and when i have friends that wants to come along, i wished i got the sedan....... what i am trying to say is that, whatever your situation is THE MOST, that's the car you should get..... if you have kids, hands down, sedan is the way to go, if you're single, coupe.........but be happy whichever one you have, performance is great on both and if it's the extra ponies you crave, FI it....

I'm a sedan owner who's glad they have a sedan instead of the coupe.
Coupe pluses:
Looks
Sedan pluses:
Utility
Nil:
Performance
Basically, I own only 1 car - G35 Sedan. I have a Thule roof rack for my 9' surfboard and bicycle, and I can put my snowboard in the back seat (too big for the trunk... but that issue is nil anway since coupe rear seats fold down). The only problem is that it's more difficult for me to get out of driving friends since it's actually comfortable in the back seats.
One small advantage of the sedan look, it doesn't draw attention (execpt when you have a 9' surfboard strapped to the roof). It's also kinda funny to take off at traffic lights when it's obvious that the person next to you has the intention of getting in front (e.g. lanes merging).

my multi purpose sedan: room for kids in rear, trunk still has plenty of space despite two 12" sub boxes, no bling factor to draw attention of cops, will outpace stock coupes (at or mt) with bolt-ons i have,......all said and done, the clients that ride in my car think it's show room stock.......beauty is skin deep, true beaty is the right foot.

I've got two small children and the sedan seemed like "the right thing to do" at the time, but hey! I could still fit the kids in the back of the coupe.
What do you guys think ? Have any of you owned both ?
