Which is safer a coupe or sedan?

Question

hello im 18

i have a choice of trading in my 2003 325i for a bmw 325ci

before this car i drove a 2002 323ci, coupe, got wrecked

i think maybe I'm just a little still traumatized that my accident occured in a 2 door but I just want to know.

I also have friends but is it selfish not to consider them, i have not been in a 325ci convertible yet but I LOVE the look of it. it's a 2003.

Answer 1

a four door is safer because you have smaller doors which means less sheet metal and you also have the pillar that's in the middle of the two doors which also help's to make the side of the car a little stronger.

Answer 2

The sedan will always be safer and will cost less in insurance as well.

Answer 3

they're the same,

just slow down and you wont wreck!

Answer 4

Get a big SUV like an Avalanche or Super Duty Ford. Makes mince meat of both. It depends what you hit. If you hit another smallish car...you might come out even. If hit a powerpole with any speed the powerpole will win. If you hit a semi going a 100 KPH your like a bug on the windshield.

Answer 5

How well you drive makes more difference.

A four door sedan is a nicer car to have. Passengers appreciate it more and so do people you park next to. They're also is cheaper to insure.
