I think the hatch is prettier, also it is more convenient on a road trip. *reaches into hatch to grab a sammich*

BACK ON TOPIC!!!!!!

IMO, coupes are more rare to see hooked up, hence hatches lose

to each his own some love the look of the 180sx and others the silvia. its all into what you wanna go with. the only real big difference other then having a hatch or a trunk lid is the hatch is 2 inches shorter and weighs 31 more poundsbut thats just my opinion i own both lol

hatch for stock front or s15coupe for sil front

coupes are stiffer from the factory as well, because of the rear ledge where the 3rd brake light is.

i believe the 89-91 coupe is lighter. it also looks better slammed. hatches are still ok tho, cause i got one..

Hatches with type x aero or 2 tone coupes. I had a hatch and loved it, but I noticed the difference from my 2 tone coupe now. Is that stock for stock body and just being slammed the coupe does looks way sexxier!! :D

However the more important thing is front ends!! Flip Up FTMFWFWNE!!!

My vote is 2 tone coupe with flip up!!

zerothread?id=358228

there is my version of this thread

i eventually got a coupe, didnt become attached and sold and forgotton about, using the money towards a rb25 swap for my hatch. hatch>all. i will say tho, if the coupe was a "slicktop" i may have been more attached to it, the moonroof really robs your headroom and is VERY uncomfortable for taller people.

I have a 92 hatch and an 89 coupe, and i definitely like my hatch a lot better. Hatches look sporty and fun, and the coupe just looks like any other boring late 80's early 90's car. But with a silvia front, they can look OK. Chuki hatch ftw though

edit: this should have been a poll
