The coupe rear end is ugly as fuck.

The Si sedans are very awesome. My buddy has a really nice clean one.

Sedan, because it will be easier to strip the interior.

My friend has the Si Sedan. I think it is a very nice car and is super easy but still fun to drive. Perfect as a daily commuter.
I would choose the Sedan over the coupe hands down. I think the 4 door looks better.
Both are cool I suppose though.

get the 4-door, you wouldn't have to worry about folding the seats back just to let people in.

Sedan for sure.
Just a lot easier to haul junk around.
Good luck if you can find a new Si though.
If you need to get a used Si, be sure to get a 08 model or later.
Prior years had a lot of transmussion issues.

Had a 08 Si sedan for about a year & loved it

I own an 06 coupe only because when I bought It sedan wasn't out yet. I had a lot of issues with it specially trany and interior. Third geAr was popping, 2nd gear grinding and the plastic interior clips was coming off, etc.. I should've waited for the sedan. But it's 60 something lbs. lighter than sedan and back then there was more after market parts available for coupe. That was four years ago. Everything is different now as far after market parts and tranny issues. If I were to buy an si today I would get a red one and do a jdm mugen RR conversion.

Don't confuse the OP. They are both non-si model. The coupe just has hfp package on it.

i daily drove a 07 coupe for half of last year. the ergonomics/driving position are kinda weird and take a while to get used to. i'm 6' 185lbs... the drivers side a-pilar always seemed to be in your line of sight, maybe the sedan would be better?

Oh about the HFP,
honda sells an awesome HFP suspension for about $500
it really helps a lot as even the Si suspension is a little soft imo.
Also get some front camber bolts to dial in a bit neg camber.

First time i took my Si to autoX, i pretty much destroyed my new front tires.
The suspension arms on the civic offer little if any adjustability.
Otherwise its pretty much track ready from the factory.

Oh also i think a site called 8thgencivic or something like that is a good enthusiast resource.
This is a good car.
I would totally pick another myself if not for financial constraints.

Maybe the coupe is different, but i loved my Si sedan.
Im close to your build, 6' @ 160.
The seats were just super comfy and worked great at track events.
I prefer them over the Recaros in my evo tbh.

Ppl either love the corny sci-fi themed interior dash or hate it.
I like the fact that the speedometer is so effortless to read.
If i had to complain, its not that comfy for road trips & sleeping.

sedan.

anytime you got more than 1 passenger, the passengers will like 4 doors more. insurance likes 4 doors more. cops like 4 doors more. your parents probably like 4 doors more. anytime you have shit you need to put in the back, you will like 4 doors more.

what reason is there to get a coupe? looks? its a fucking civic. some vague notion of sportiness? its a fucking civic.

4 door, its nice driving around and not caring that someone would want to steal your car, and sometimes taking your friends along.

If you wanting a Si coupe because its sporty, well in my book, no civic was ever a sports car. so yeah.

'Sports car' and 'sporty' are different.
Pretty much anything can be sporty depending on what you think.
the term 'sporty' means nothing b/c its so vague & subject to personal interpretation.

HyperTek

yup and soo many youths are fooled thinking civics make great race cars because of this sport compact craze.

op: tell your folks that hondas are popular amongst thieves, get a truck instead imo.

lol, nobody said anything about getting a race-car.
I can't tell if you're being serious there.

lol, at telling him to get a truck.
might as well also suggest a 'bus pass'.
I heard that's more economic.

Well my concern is that this is a big investment and if those are his only options, doesnt seem like he is too interested in them since he cant decide. Not sure how your getting the "should suggest a bus pass" from my message.

Well a car is never an investment.
Not likely you can sell it for more than what you paid for it.
Its a costly expense.
( again, i have a difficult time telling whether youre joking, apologies).

No you mentioned nothing about a bus pass.
You did however, suggest a truck when the OP was specifically asking for whether to get a civic sedan or coupe.
A bus pass is no less absurd, outlandish, & irrelevant.

If my mom paid for my car, she could have bought me a camel and I'd be stoked.
