ATTN die hard hatch fans...

[sebazztard]

as a owner of a hatch for 4 years, the s14 is just not the same. its a nice car, but its not as sexy as a hatch , imo. would you guys go for a s13 coupe (one came up for sale locally) if it was in good condition, and be content with just having another s13.... or would you hold out and wait for a hatch? guys who have both i would love your opinion. thanks!

ive wanted a s14 kouki for so damn long, but when i drove my buddy's i was set on s13's. dunno why but the s14 seems smaller inside.i have two hatches at the moment, and i would rather have a s13 coupe over two hatches. IMO i would get the coupe.

[Leash]

Honestly I love both, I can't decide which I like better. I love driving the coupe better than the hatch and I love it with the silvia face. But the hatch I love the shape of it and that fact that I can fit so much crap in it that its really usefully to the point that I usually don't need a truck to transport parts.

I wouldn't give up either one.

I would wait for the hatch if i were you

[S14toRPS13]

I've owned a S13 coupe, 2 Zenki S14's, and now a hatch. I've come to find out that I'll love the one I have, but lust over the ones that I don't have. Like the Kouki S14 . Can't go wrong with either one though.

[sebazztard]

i dont lust for the kouki for some reason, but i do have that envy for a few other nissans... id love to get a z31, z32 as well as another pulsar i just never was a coupe person, but being a s13 maybe it will put me back in that "home" feeling.

coupe > hatch.

lighter, more rigid, better looking. period.

[ag240]

that's biased though. you have two

Depending on whats been done... The coupe can POSSIBLY look better than the hatch. Even with the silvia front end conversion, the S15 conversion on a hatch is FAR sexier than any coupe could ever be... Sry tramp.

i do have two, but for the reasons i stated above. ive been in hatches, ive driven hatches. it just isnt as good.

plus, in the event of a roll over, i bet a hatch'll cruuuuuuuuuuush.

i dont really like s15 fronts on s13s. or s14s for that matter. and i actually prefer a silvia front on a hatch.

alas, my statement stands. rigid and lightweight. valid points.

Tru tru... But i prefer the silvia on the coupe, but it looks good on the hatch as well, I just prefer the S15 on the hatch.

[tramp_drift240]

i prefer the s15 front on s15 silvias.

but back to the point.

coupes > hatches

[sr20det_s13]

Well first i wanted a hatch the most JUST cause of the kouki tail lights.. just for that and plus i was never much of a silvia front end fan but once i kept seeing coupes the more i love them im guessing it might be the same for coupe to hatch? But then again hatch = more space

[xX RB Xx]

im trading my S14 for an S13 that is how much i like hatches.. I had a hatch then sold it for the zenki and i want a hatch again

[sebazztard]

^ that wasnt too long ago. i feel the same. s14 just isnt a hatch. and i agree with the s15 front on a s13 hatch looking good, but i love em best chuki and stock. ive just noticed that coupe lovers are just as biased as hatch owners. i would also trade my s14 for a hatch if the deal was the same. as far as vert goes, i would go hatch>vert>s14>coupe>anything piggy :P

[Koshin]

coupes get no love.....it saddens me deeply

[sebazztard]

2 things i think we may be a bit jealous of is the power sunroof and the digi cluster

my s14 has 300z brakes all the way around, 5 lug, se wheels, vlsd and 5 speed.. but has body damage and needs paint and im trading it straigh up for an hatch.

[Koshin]

^^^^I think I would rather have an s14 than a hatch....but thats just me....is it swapped or what?? just wondering

[240-slide-ride]

well im on hatch number 2 right now, me personally i like the looks of a hatchback over a coupe more. i plan on buying another 240 this fall and have been considering getting a coupe or if i can find a clean vert to change it up. no offense but me personally im not a big fan of the 95-96 zenki's. ive always kinda thought they looked a bit like maximas

[ThuG LyFe]

when i was looking to buy a car i was DEAD set on getting a s13 hatch. loved the shape, design and look of it. however the plan was interrupted when i found a clean s14 zenki for sale for cheaper than the hatch which i was gonna buy. i was a little, just a teeny bit sad i couldn't get a s13 hatch (mainly b/c i wanted the pop up lights and i love the hatch taillights) but a year and half later i would never sell my s14 for a s13 period. however, i would love to have a s13 hatch as a 2nd/daily driver that would be really sweet and best of both worlds.

i never really like s13 coupes, the pop up doesn't go with the coupe design but if you put sil front on it i think it looks pretty hot.

anyway, if i were you i would wait for a hatch. i'm sure if your s14 was in cleaner condition you would never ditch ur s14 for a s13.

[sebazztard]

nothing to do with clean, just missing the s13

^^^^I think I would rather have an s14 than a hatch....but thats just me....is it swapped or what?? just wondering

nope its pretty much stock except the exhaust and intake..

i just dont like s14's anymore now that i have owned one.

[Jadesr20det]

i have owned both a coupe and a hatch and i love my hatch...function=folding the seats down in the back and hauling 8 tires to the track days

[Kckouki]

Kouki S14 > all

[ag240]

hatch>kouki s14™

[sebazztard]

100% agreed
