Just a couple simple questions... Is there a difference between the Hatchback model and the coupe or are they the same body? What about the SE trim?

Also, is cruise control hard to install if the car doesn't come with it?

ThanksCody

hatchbacks are like a 3 door, where the 3rd door is a lifting door to get access to the trunk area, it's like what you see on vans only more sporty. A coupe is a car with a conventional, or standard looking trunk like what you'd see on most cars. ...I didn't do a good job with that description. Google search for pics if you really want to see examples.The coupe is said to have less chassis flex and be more stable, but personally I prefer hatchbacks if I have the option. Note: The 240sx model is called a fastback, not a hatchback. Guess they didn't want it to be associated with vans (like I just did above lol)

Don't know about cruise control. If you aren't shy around wiring and splicing then it can be done but I don't know how difficult it is.
