If you have kids- unless you have an alternate vehicle- the coupe is not the most practical car. the back seat is really for rare situations when other options are limited.

If you want a more sporty look and feel, you can make that happen with the Sedan.

 

Fewer than 2 doors? Now you're talking about riding around town in an Ariel Atom

Anyone taller than 5'5" will need to tilt his head to the side or slouch to fit. As for getting a baby in/out of the rear seats, I wouldn't risk this kind of maneuver because even I have trouble getting stuff out of the back without bumping into the roof, seat, or seat belt holder.

 

Oops! I meant to say "fewer than four doors". Post edited.

 

1. You have kids. Keep the sedan. I have used my prelude a couple times transporting my less than a year old and it's tough just getting the seat in. The sedan is even easier than my wife's MKX thanks to the 90 deg doors.
2. The sedan looks better. I have never loved the G37 coupe like I did (and still do) the G35 coupe.

 

Sedan for sure. I just bought mine in aug /16 Was between
2010 G37 Sedan (Bone Stock)
2008 BMW 335i (bone stock with Aero /Sport doodadds
2004 BMW m3

Went with the Bone Stock
sedan (S model seemed like a Waste of $$ to me for what is had to offer (not much at all)

and Have Plans in the Near future for Brembos instead of AKE's

Sedan is lighter,Faster,way more comphy) Not by much tho

 

Who really needs limited slip, right? And that close ratio steering... meh. By all means, upgrade your suspension and your brakes (and your seats, LOL).

You're going to do great things here on the forum, I can feel it.

 

lmao. can't forget that nicer bumper that'll cost 1k+ to change :-P.

 

Driving a coupe is awesome but after reading your have a kid in a booster seat I'd say stick with the sedan brother and save yourself the headache.

 

It really is a completely different feeling compared to the Sedan. The Coupe is very batmobile-ish. And by that I mean Tim Burton batmobile. Whereas the Sedan is more like, well, just a car. Just the right size, both comfortable and sporty, with entirely normal visibility. The Coupe looks the part, but the Sedan is the sleeper.

I like them both, for different reasons. Although I prefer a Sport Sedan because you're just under the radar as something obvious.

 

Well it seems strange to me that a lot of the posts here say that you guys like the look of the sedan over the coupe. Keep telling yourselves whatever you need to so you feel better.. lol. I for one think that just about every model vehicle looks better as a coupe over the sedan. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion so if you truly feel that the sedan looks better than good on ya!
I own a coupe (IPL) and also have a 9 & 6yr old. They fit just fine in the back and it isn't a hassle at all for them to get in and out. With that being said I also own a Civic sedan which I use for longer trips and when lugging cargo around with us too. So I have options available to me which probably makes it seem like the coupe isn't really that much of a hassle because I don't have to use it every time I go out with the kiddos. I would say that if you are going to be using it to transport your children every day then the sedan is the better choice but the coupe is so sexy and fun drive. Be happy with what you have and maybe when the kids are older find yourself the coupe you want to put a smile on your face

 

I definitely prefer the coupe look when modded, the sedan when stock. I suppose I should just stick it out with the current vehicle and get a coupe next. I flip cars ever 1-2 years anyway so it's not really too much of a commitment to just keep the sedan for now. Only about 7 months into ownership

 

I have nothing against the look of the coupe. I really like them both in terms of style but the sedan was just more practical at the end of the day. I was really bouncing back and forth between the two but like I stated, it just seemed like when I was comparing the GTO and G8 when they were in the running that a lot of GTO owners expressed the desire for rear doors; and the number of owners stating that was overwhelming. Now, if I had a back up vehicle at the moment I'd have really been leaning toward the coupe since i could've secured one with S trim. At the end of the day, I went with the sedan and the dealership that offered a good deal on the ****subishi and a great rate at a competitive price. Coupes are really sharp looking though and if my circumstances weren't what they are then I'd have definitely considered it a lot more...plus AWD driving in MD and PA is awesome to have.
