13 Coupe or Sedan?

So as a marine, I recently came back from being stationed and now I'm home. I can't decide what to get, the coupe or the sedan and if I do happen to get one of them, should I go with the 37X or the sport since the X is AWD. I'm also planning on modding my G.

What do you want? A coupe or sedan? Sedan is cheaper. Do you like the sport package or not? Rides firmer with the bigger wheels.

Pick and choose.

Coupe may hold its' value a bit better since the new Q sedan will be released first. Biggest question would be how often you need access to the back seat and if you plan on driving w/ adults back there very much. Coupe is real tight back there and access is tougher without the back doors. If you only really use the back seats for groceries or kids then I'd go coupe, probably get a much better deal right now on a sedan though.

Having owned both, I would consider how much space you need as well, for transporting people or items, and cargo space in trunk... It's a huge difference between the two.. I have the coupe now and prefer it over the sedan, in terms of looks and just overall driving and feel, but sometimes I miss being able to have more room for people and my gear...

Whatever you do make sure to drive both. From everything I've read can be major difference in ride.

yeah question is though, if I do decide to get a coupe or a sedan, would I rather get a G37X for weather situations or get the sport package. I want to mod it but I heard the coupe can take more mods than the sedan

I would go with the G37X if you live in area where weather could play a factor. As for coup or sedan it would depend on your preference.

I like the way the coup looks a little more, but I went with the sedan because of the backseat size in the coup. I also went with the 37X because I live in New England and the weather can be rough.

- If you plan on having kids that you will need to get in the car, go with the sedan.
- If you have friends that will need to get in the backseat and you plan on going on longish trips in the car, go with the sedan.

You could also consider getting the g37XS and get the best of both worlds.

Coupe vs. Sedan: Decide based on weather you need to put adults in the back or not. Get the coup eif you won't put adults i teh back.

AWD: There are a few less mods for the AWD. If you will drive in bad winter weather get the AWD, otherwise you are better off not getting the X. It is a little heavier and some mods won't work on the X (or your choices are more limited).

I have the 2013 G37xS, and like it, but since I don't plan to drive in bad weaqhter with this car, I wish it didn't have the AWD. But, The car has everthing else I wanted, and the price was fantastic so I have AWD.

Oh, and AWD comes with All Season tires. The non-AWD comes with decent Summer Tires. That may help in your decision.

Wow I can't believe you are even asking this. The sedan looks like an old ford (think Taurus). The coupe is like a exotic sports car. Night and day.

Sure you don't want to change that SN a little bit, Jack? You know, to something more befitting your nature.

Go sedan Sport and get winter tires! The sedan is sexy in sport model and the coupe is about as heavy as the sedan without being practical. Plus is there really a performance advantage? Nope!!!
