s13 hatch>all

i own both, have owned a coupe as well, so im not repeating what ive read somewhere. the coupe with the sunroof/moonroof is very very very cramped if you are tall, if coupe is your thing find one without. 2nd s14 is kinda boring, no offense to my own car here but its just a decent dependable daily driver and nothing more. with my hatch, its just dead sexy to me, i really cant get enough of the looks (body style), the only problem is that stock ka that was under the hood. do some research, look up your local classifieds/craigslists and check them out for yourself. they are very reliable either way, just depends on your goals.

^this man speaks the truth. id go with a s13 hatch, if you cant or dont like hatches then get a coupe and get a silva front end conversion. i also think s14's are just boring and more of a newer car thats just a daily driver. s14's can only be pulled off if their koukis or else they need extreme aero. just my 2 cents. go on craigslist. thats where i got mine. check different states and citys too on craigslist.

well, since you are a grown up man, it's time that you get a Kouki or atleast a S14 Zenki. Black ofcourse. and bam, you have a sexy car before any mods. Then if you are still young at heart, go turbo.

^^^ pretty biased replys. s13 hatch owners say get a s13hatch and s14zenki driver says get a zenki?

take a look at both s13/s14 and see what you like. personally i find the 14 interior is much more comfy. i like the looks of all of em but if i get another one ill get a zenki, when i have money.love those cars. a KADE is a KADE. yes with minor changes, but the same. nothing your gonna really notice. but if you do get a 14, or a later 13, youll have peace of mind having something with less miles on it. if your someone who doesnt like driving contemporary early 90's styling, s13's probably not for you.s13 isnt gonna be cheaper. newer 14 is gonna, well, have less age(obviously)deffinatly check out that link to the 'buyers guide' and choose for YOURSELF. dont get something others like

Black (original paint please) hatch or GTFO

Edit: You want a clean title and a full, clean interior. Everything else can be handled easily enough.

S14 > S13

It's just a more solid car. Bigger, better interior, overall fit and finish. It's a newer car.

agreed on the solid, the steering wheel is extremely lame but otherwise the interior is "nicer" in the s14 as well, but i just dont get off on the body style.
