Hatch VS Coupe`

Post by hvguy »

What do you prefer, what are the pros. and cons.

Style, looks and performance.



The coupe weighs about 200lbs less.
You can fit lots of big stuff in a hatch though and its more roomy.
The coupe has more stitch welding on the interior, but since there is a back seat-brace it makes it less flexible after welding.

hatch ftw for me. i like the styling and yes the storage space in my gutted 86 is awesome.

if it was a coupe it would have to be Levin front.

hatch ftw all you need is a carbon hatch then its weighs less than a coupe, It has a shit load more room for wheels and tires, and its easier to put a good cage in a hatch which makes it ten times stiffer than any stitch welded corolla.

Coupe's look like Toyota's version of the M3. Bottom line badass. I like the hatches don't get me wrong but I rather be driving a coupe over a hatch.

I just think the lines of the coupe dont flow well at all they can look good with a nice kit and wheels but stock I think they look horrible compared to a stock hatch
