I Need Help !!!!

I see the cars go by me on the line. Then i see them sitting in the inspection bays side by side. I can not decide on the 2 dr turbo or the 4 dr turbo. Give me some opinions. They both look sweet in silver and sport red tint coat. Also which 1 is the quickest.

Coupe. The sedan weighs a little bit more but one is not faster than the other so it really depends on if you need 2 extra doors and a full back seat or not. If not, then get the coupe because it looks better imo.

4 door = less tickets

Sleeper

More room

Coupe looks better but that wasn't my intention ..

So if you like attention don't need any room for cargo or other people I would get the coupe....

If the coupe has the high rise wing the sedan has a faster top MPH due to wind resistance..

I have see alot of the coupes have problems with the sunroof ..

It's really your personal preference..

COUPE. It rather get poked in the eye with a spork than drive a sedan.

Sedan to be different. prolly about 70% or better of ppl who get t/c balts get the coupe. I've had coupes and sedans in the past, and i'd rather have the sedan. I hate to say this, but my '01 escort would out handle my cobalt. longer wheel base and all. Not saying the coupes don't handle well, but i like to take turns at high speeds occasionally for fun

Yes, I know. Doesn't mean I can't put in my opinion on which one i would get lol. I have the s/c cuz i was too impatient to wait for the t/c model. If i would have only waited another 3 months i could have gotten it, but i didn't wanna wait.

But you are basing the handling on the cobalt ss/sc versus the ss/tc.

Which is better then the ss/sc, "not trying to start anything"

It's funny how you guys, keep talking about the performance on the coupe vs the sedean, which if there is a difference would be minminal

Why not compare sunroof vs no sunroof

I might own a s/c, but i've done my research on the t/c as well. These aren't just blind comments when i know nothing about the cars. And I'm not comparing the handling of my car to the t/c version, I'm comparing the handling of a 4dr car to a 2 dr car. A 4 door car just handles better imo due to the longer wheel base. And we're not discussing "performance" really, we're discussing which car is best suited to the person who started this thread. The 4 dr mixes practicality with performance whereas the 2 dr coupe is more designed for performance only.

So According to you, a limo handles better

09 SS/TC

Coupe Wheel Base: 2623mm (103.3) Inches
Sedean Wheel Base: 2623mm (103.3) Inches
