While Honda has had my EX-T coupe for the last week, they gave me a lower trim sedan to use. I never really thought about just how many features I have in my car, but after not having it, I'm really missing a lot of them.
One thing I noticed, and these are just my opinions so I don't want any sedan owners getting all mad,lol, but the ride in the sedan is no where near as comfortable as my coupe. It feels a lot bumpier, and stiff,and it doesn't corner as well. That's to be expected though.
Its also a lot harder for me to get into the sedan. I'm disabled and put my arm on my seat as I'm dropping into it, due to the seat being pushed back behind the pillar on the sedan, I can't do that and feel like I'm just falling into the car.
The other thing,and I'm not sure if this is a sedan vs coupe thing or the lower trim,but I have pulls on my doors other than the handles built into the armrests, and when the door is fully opened, they are way easier to grab, my poor wife who is all of 5"2 with little arms, has to reach way out of the car to get hold of the armrests in this sedan,lol.
I always wanted the coupe anyway, and for me, I'm glad we did go with it. The wife wanted the sedan at first due to the rear doors for the grandkids,but she's glad we got the coupe now that she's had a chance to ride in the sedan for a while.
One slight advantage of the sedan, is that the doors are a bit shorter and it was a little easier to open them farther when someone is parked beside me. Not much, but a little.
Sedan also seems to have a deeper trunk.
