In all honesty, it is MUCH more convenient to have a sedan. Especially if you are paying the same. It takes away so much unnecessary hassle from loading and unloading groceries, to having to move your front seats EVERY time someone gets in, out, forgot something, or you need to reach something out of your back seat. I don't think in the civic, they look much different either. For example the 98 civic, was a very visible difference in the coupe & sedan, but now the civic has bulked up & I dont think the hassle is worth it.
