i like the coupe better......they dont have hatchs that rust apart.

Seriously, why do people insist on making these threads? A Coupe Vs Hatch thread gets posted by some n00b every other week. Kids these days.

Oh, and coupes pwn your Mom.

coupes look like a real car, hatch is a what some would call a probe, mx6 look alike

its fast back... not hatch lol

Post by **rico05** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 6:55 am

Well, according to Nissan, Texas DPS, and Carfax, it is a hatch.

Coups Own ALL they are sexier and weigh 50 pounds less stock to boot... Plust there are less coups on the road then fastbacks...

Hatch-/Fastback/3 Door/Whatever-T-F:

Loves:- The looks/lines (goes better w/popups)- Storage capacity

Hates:- Extra weight- Lower body rigidity- Stock sponge-wrapped-in-plastic-magic-rust-formula-spoiler

Coupe/Notchback/2 Door/Whatever-T-F:

Loves:- Seems more natural w/S13 Silvia front end- Lighter- Stiffer

Hates:- Less storage space- Just doesn't look "quite right" w/popups

Just my take on the two. I prefer fastback > coupe, but I would rock either one w/the quickness.

fastback, coupes just look too outdated. Kouki tails mmm

u can have your coupes, but when its time to move u wish you had a hatch hehe

Post by **240sxjeff** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 8:09 am

Hatches are the hotness plus the rear end of the coupes seem to remind me of a second generation Integra for some odd reason

Post by **Tulsa_S-13** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 8:19 am

I love when people bring up the weight factor. Weight between the two is totally pointless. I drive my heavy hatch around and I weigh a good 55lbs less then the average driver.

I've always loved the hatch back over the coupe, but the more I look at coupes the more I like them.

my first impressions on the s13 is the fastbacks are sick looking.. i love em'.. but lately ive also been falling for the coupes w/ silvia front end. i have a fastback, i love it to death, but also thinking about buying a coupe as well (if i can find it for real cheap, cuz im broke).

the thing that sucks about fastback.. you wont imagine how many people mistake my car for a probe...

tell me that this car is not a sexy beast

Post by **lrb_2000** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:31 am

coupes look good with a silvia front end.. hatches do not.. so stock, i'd take a hatch anyday.

Post by **masticatingcow** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:37 am

This is a weak "coupe vs hatch" thread. We had a killer one going a couple months ago. Even some S14 guys got in on it.

Meh. 240s are t3h W3a|<5aUc3, |3a|3Y!!! It's all about t3h /\/\05t l33t 1st gen Hyundai Accent, |3iTc|-|35!!!!!!! \/\/00tz0rz!!!!

*huh? what* Ok, who the fukk hid my meds again??

Post by **bryanmenard** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 11:22 am

I've had both....currently enjoying the hatch. Lots of storage space...I can fold the seat and carry tons of stuff. The trunk of the coupe (bad) and convertible (worse) just aren't adequate.

Hatches with the wipers and spoilers have a problem rusting through. Without the wiper or the spoiler, there's no problem with rust.

The tail-end of the coupe just looks funny to me now. I used to not feel this way.

is that your car?...and is that Adrenaline Motorsports skyline?.....I have a 91 hb with a RB25 and live around a hour from St. Louis!!

I prefer my hatch for drift days. Because I can fit a cooler, jack, tools, 2 pairs of tires, and 2 sets of rims and tires in my hatch.

Post by **teddy** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 12:39 pm

no kidding...i can easily pack waaaay more groceries in the back of my hatch than a coupe.

Agreed!!

And why do hatch owners insist on calling them 'fastbacks'? Having 'fast' in the name doesnt make it any quicker.
