If you want a coupe to enjoy driving, go for something Japanese and RWD.

Nothing wrong with German sports cars, they're just not "Real" coupes... Not nearly as much of an experience and are really a bit on the soft side.

If you want a car to pose in however, go ahead, I'd personally go for a E46 330Ci...

WTF are you talking about?
A "coupe" is a body style nothing more.

So you implying coupes aren't designed to handle better than their family/5 door variations?

You hero.

There are many that are just that, it is called a "lifestyle car" and beyond its looks there isn't anything else going for it.

Well I suppose a 4 door shell is going to be slightly more rigid due to the extra pillar you get from the extra set of doors, but the average joe, despite however many fast 'n furious films they may have watched, isn't going to be talented enough to notice...

Considering this forum is populated mostly by students who are likely struggling to afford a tin of pringles, this sounds like a heavy brag thread.

Either way, german coupe's are soft.

What you want is ultra-hardcore jap rwd turbo coupe's...

Seat Leon ST Coupe; I have ALWAYS loved SEAT, for an unknown reason. Good looking car and less typical than say an Audi IMO :smile:
