DataXUnknown · 04-29-2010, 01:33 AM

The coupe rear end is ugly as fuck.

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

sickstatus · 04-29-2010, 01:38 AM

why bother with a coupe.

Matej · 04-29-2010, 02:35 AM

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

leg room homie. also i buy coupes because then somebody else can drive when we all go somewhere.

ayuaddict · 04-29-2010, 05:14 AM

i am so very confused at what you are saying.

coupes have MORE interior space?

Soup Nazi · 04-29-2010, 06:48 AM

Sedan Si if you can, the Coupes rears are ugly.

IIIXziuR · 04-29-2010, 07:18 AM

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.

ATLspeed · 04-29-2010, 07:44 AM

I dont like/drive/or owned 4dr cars in general but.....the si sedans are lovely lol

Si SEDAN; red or white..do it

*DALAZ_68* · 04-29-2010, 10:20 AM

sedan has bullet looking body, a coupe looks more like an egg...

sedan bro!

nismo 240sx · 04-29-2010, 10:24 AM

si sedan hands down. there alot sexier!

shanes14 · 04-29-2010, 10:24 AM

id get a sedan si if you have the option. if not then just a sedan. more room is more room.

meteorite_flo · 04-29-2010, 10:31 AM

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

hellaslows13 · 04-29-2010, 10:47 AM

Sedan 4 door, hands down.

ronmcdon · 04-29-2010, 10:49 AM

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

IMPORTIMAGE · 04-29-2010, 10:51 AM

you posted an SI coupe and a base sedan tisk tisk!

Get the SI sedan my friend has it and he ran a 14.3 at the track bone stock. Not bad

*DALAZ_68* · 04-29-2010, 10:55 AM

coudlve been real baller

lol... doubt ur pops would approve anyway... MUGEN Si Sedan ftw...

driftsilvias13 · 04-29-2010, 11:00 AM

Si sedan for practicality.

tac 1 · 04-29-2010, 11:24 AM

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.

ranger240 · 04-29-2010, 11:32 AM

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?

ronmcdon · 04-29-2010, 11:37 AM

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.
