I would say the hatch would handle better, its lighter, less surface area means better aerodynamics + there are probably more aftermarket parts for the EK hatch

well they make the CTR in a hatch so i think that could be some indication of it.
According to many websites, the coupe is lighter. The hatch also comes with a sunroof so that's added weight where you don't want it basically.

ill go for the hatch, i also agree that it is light, thus better launch for track, and its easier to control as u dun really need to worry about ur rear end going too far out if u want to drift

Dont wanna sound like an ass, but just another option, if its only gonna be a track car, and not for use on the street, would a Civic Type R be an obvious better option.

the hatch... for all the reasons above that were for it... and also in intial D they reckon the EK hatches have the best handling with honda's :D:D!!
i would pick the coupe... but if sedan is in... go the sedan ...
If it's gonna be a track car, one would assume that most stock components will be changed? Including most suspention, handling parts. I would Think that after installing all that kind of stuff they would be pretty equal. So choose which one you think looks better. My opinion.

yeh the hatch handles better.. the coupe loses its back end quite easily... :( but its basically personal opinion... the EK (hatch) is damn sexy and i still love the shape of the EM (coupe)... basically personal pref..

My EK4 has Teins and handles very well. I'd highly recommend a hatch over coupe.

if you want a track car an old mx5 would be good, cheap and handles well
