Re: Would you buy a coupe version?
Yes, I would. The coupe is certainly sportier-looking.
For my (mostly commuting) needs, a coupe would be fine.

I wouldn't buy it- but thinking about it- it might make sense if there is a gain in efficiency due to a lighter body. But lets be honest, we are driving Hybrids- and looking sporty is just trying to appeal to our old gas-guzzling days when horesepower mattered.
Not any more, especially now that we have kids. I used to like 2-doors and had a 2000 civic HX for a while. I also don't like the relatively large blind spot of the current civic coupes.
I wouldn't have, when I bought my HCH I was coming from an older Civic sedan, and liked the easy access to the back seats. Plus I think the 7th gen Civic coupes look too long behind the door, although I do like the taillights better. Now, I really don't use the back seats very often, I feel bad sometimes for having more car than I need. I like the front end of the new Civic coupes more than the front of the sedan, but I like the back of the sedans better. What I really wish I had is an Insight.

Re: Would you buy a coupe version?
What I guess I'd prefer is a rear-hatch.
I rarely have anyone in the back seat, and a little more cargo ability (like the Prius) would be handy.
