What is the difference between sedans and coupes? and what to buy?

Question

I want to find a car that is fairly inexpensive (less than 30 grand) but doesnt look g*y. I'm having a hard time. What would you suggest? With that description am I looking for the average sedan or the coupe?

mazda 3 looks very heterosexual.

Answer 2

Sedans have 4 doors and coupes usually 2 or 3 the hatch is considered a door. As far as what type of car I don't know what you are into, Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Many definitions of a coupe and a sedan will define the coupe as a two-door or three-door model that is roughly equivalent to the sedan. A sedan almost always has four doors in contrast. Actually there are four-door coupes, and two-door sedans, so the differences between a coupe and a sedan automobile may not always be quite clear.

In reality, a coupe is strictly defined by its interior volume or space. Distinctions between a coupe and a sedan has little to do with doors and are made clear by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), which standardizes definitions of the different types of cars on the market. Measurements of a coupe and a sedan are as follows:

    * Coupe equals less than 33 cubic feet (.934 cubic m).

    * Sedan is equal to or greater than 33 cubic feet.

Thus a coupe and sedan can be determined by volume alone rather than being determined by number of doors. A two-door car with a larger than 33 cubic foot volume or interior space is essentially a two-door sedan. Likewise, a four-door car with less than a 33 cubic foot volume is a four-door coupe.

I must admit that I have never heard of a car that looks 'g*y'.

Heard of 'girly' cars, but never 'g*y' cars.

Therefore, cannot help you with that one, except stay away from cars painted pink.
