hatch or sedan...?

[grncivicdhr]

ok, i'm about a week or two out from buying my civic i can't wait. i'm definatly going 4th gen. but should i get a hatch or sedan. i like both.
the sedans not that much heavier, so either way i end up with a really light weight car that gonna be powered by a b16a. i do auto-x tho. is one stiffer than the other?

aftermarket parts should fit for both, as far as suspension goes. i like both, but i have a sedan so i vote sedan

ice X im with you sedan all the way. It only weighs a little bit more and when you are driving normally its easier and more comfortable for people in the back. Depends on you needs, just AUTO X. There is a giant long ass thread on Sedan/Hatchee poll, just search....

This thread i predict will be a major flame thread and argument about sedan vs. hatch!

Honestly the hatch looks and drives better that's my opinion so i see no need for a sedan unless your a family man. And who cares if your passengers are comfortable it's your car so think of you.

LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!

i wonder how many people have actually driven a hatch, crx, and a sedan so then they can make a good decision based on experience lol

i honestly thing all of em drive better than domestics. For Auto X i might choose CRX since it's the lightest of the bunch. For driving around my sedan works well, don't hafta put the front seat down all the time, and it's easier to put stuff away. But i would love to have a hatch or a crx mostly a crx though cuz i've always liked those

i like the sedan, but there are more body kits for the hb.

I like sedans. Stock looking sedan + B16 = sweet sleeper.

i voted for the sedan b/c i have owned one and i have driven my bros crx's and hatches and i honestly like the sedans a lot more.

i gotta say, these results are a little unexpected considering how the sedan is so favored. since i've been looking i've also found that sedans are usually lower in price and in better condition too. the purchase is still 3-4 weeks off, but the sedan is looking like the winner. i'd like a red (rio red i think its called) sedan with 16" bronze wheels (weds probably, but maybe 5zigen fn01's or buddy club p2's)

i own a crx but have driven a sedan also, personally i like the ride and look of hatch better not just because i own one but i just love that compact feel. I had second thoughts about the 2 seater but after i started driving it, i loved it.

We'll see. to be quite honest, i've had trouble finding hatches that aren't beat to hell (i like the looks of hatches more too). ohh and i was wrong, its milano red, rio red is a subaru color.

wtf are how sedans winning thing poll? I mean they are nice and all but come no where near the hatch. i like hatches more than my crx. wish i still had mine

[Cjz89civic]

crx it a slightly shorter wheel base better for cornering in Auto X. If it was between a hatch and a sedan I would say hatch its shorter than the sedan so it will out corner it.

I prefer hatches. My last 4 cars have been hatches. I cram everything into the back; groceries, dogs, furniture, car parts, u name it.

i think i'm going to be getting the hatch. still can't find one for sale thats not beat up. none of the ones in good shape i find are for sale. i saw a mint red hatch today but the old guy driving it wasn't about to part with it.
