probably what i am thinking is because i never drive the coupe and own 2 sedan before so hope i get use to the coupe soon. don't worry i drive safe on the road, what i mean is when i test drive to buy the car i take it in the back road and did a little swerving and abuse the break a little to test it.. i did that to both the sedan and coupe.

I just compared the LX models...sedan is 40lbs heavier, wheelbase on all trim levels is 2" different. I bet if "James" drove the coupe and sedan back to back with the same trim level, motor and tranny he wouldn't think there was a huge difference in handling.
