Ckv36 Front Seat Quick Release Question

[GeeDog]

Yo-yo,

If you look at the power to weight specs in the video, they are listed in kg/ps - ie kilograms per horse. Although they call it a power to weight ratio, it's actually a weight to power ratio, so the lower number is better.

The coupe is 4.96, and the sedan is 5.07 - that tells me that the coupe has less kg per ps, or a better power to weight ratio than the sedan.

huh never looked much closer into it but that makes sense too, thanks for pointing it out

either way like i mentioned in my earlier post not much difference to warrant a drastic difference in acceleration in real world situation.

lol true, but im guessing you dont have kids... as when trying to get 3 kids into the back seat of the car and 2 in their car seats in the pouring rain every second counts.

I considered the sedan at first, mainly to banish my mother to the back seat as she's a very dangerous passenger in the front seat. The stories I have to tell about how she made my dad stack the Maxima and almost made me stack it in the same car many years later...

But I came to the realisation that:

a) I have the old BA wagon to drive her around in

b) The sedan doesn't look as sexy as the coupe.

But in your case, 3 kids won't fit in the back seat - assuming the front seat will be occupied by a significant other in whatever form - girlfriend, fiance, wife, blow-up doll, etc. So, no option for you but sedan.

That's weird. They're the same motor and drivetrain (from '08 onwards, if I remember correctly) but the coupe is heavier as is usually the case with 2-door vehicles. That just doesn't seem right to me.
