Hatch has better rear visibility. Not sure why this is important in this discussion, but I drive so many cars every day, it angers me when I have poor rear visibility. Why can't more cars be as well thought out as the S13 hatchback?

i have been told that the coupes r lighter

ive had a better rear vision in my coupe from my opinion, i can tell where the trunk ends... imo

coupes are technically a little more rigid, but just pick which one you like asthetically and go with it, it's a futile battle to ask here.

No, my friend has a coupe, and he wants a fastback, so not everybody. I just like how modern and sleek the hatch looks. Espcially with a Silvia Ks Aero front, yummay

i think the hatch has crap for rear visibility, but i havent really gotten to drive a coupe. i used to like coupes alot better, but now since i have a hatch, im all about them.

I like the look of the hatch better. I think it has sportier lines. I think the rear window the coupe is to abrupt and vertical. But, that's just my opinion.

I would bet the the coupe weighs less and is a little more rigid, which would get you better handling.

Then again.. i own a convertible.. so what do I know.

I like my hatch because I've heard that a set of wheels will fit in the back. I haven't tried it though. Also, the hatch tail lights are nice. BUt I do like coupes too.

I love my hatch...it does have crap for visibility though. ive heard the zenki hatchs are the lightest but only buy a few pounds, so i say compromise and get a kouki hatch

Zenki coupes are lighter than zenki hatches. Coupes and hatches both make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Body-kits generally make either look like total arse in my opinion. Whats the point of a darth vader cat-eater front bumper if it doesnt even remotely match the sexy stock lines?

My fav part about the hatch is how well deep dish wheels look on em... and we get kouki tails, booyah

a set of wheels does fit in the back

My hatch has the best all-around visability of any car I have ever driven. The only blind spot is a small one at the driver's rear quarter panel, that I can see anyway if I move my head far enough over.

So does a full silvia conversion minus hood

I will say coupe all day long....

Until I look at BomexS13's car, and realize how unbelievable slick-a$$ a hatch can be.

Honestly, it's totally a toss-up for me. It'd all come down to condition if I was S13 shopping.

I like the coupes so much more than the hatches. Hatches look like less of a sportscar to me, and doesnt look as great with the silvia front IMO.

Maybe its just because I have a coupe :p

Why this trivial question again? Everyone knows the real answer:

Pudding is better than anything, so why bother? Pudding pwns j00. Pudding is teh win. Pudding is 100% JDM Bling.

BTW: I own a coupe, and wouldn't own an S13 any other way.

i like coupes better....the hatches look like ford probes to me

Post by **Dirtylou** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 4:15 pm

Probes?!?....Oh no you didn't.

Post by **95nismo240** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 4:35 pm

lol!!! sorry didnt mean to diss the hatches

Post by **Veriest1** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 6:32 pm

Nah, the probes don't look right at all. I can't put my finger on it exaclty but they look real goofy for some reason... maybe it's the big blue emblem... I dunno.

I do know they look nothing like a super sexy Pignose 240sx.

Anyway, weren't Probes introduced around '91? So wouldn't it be the Probes that look similiar to a 240 and not the other way around?

Post by **NotDave** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:50 pm

its like the old mustang fastback vs coupe. IMO the fastback (like the one on gone in 60 seconds) is teh win. i have a coupe btw

Post by **Stev0n** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 7:33 am

I think the hatch looks more "sports car"-ish, that's why I picked it instead of a coupe. Plus I hadnever had a htach besides my 86 camaro that I had for 2 days before I set it on fire, so....

long story, it pissed me off, so a little ether, lot of ethanol and a lighter solved the problem permanently...
