The reason you can even build a "4-door SE-R" with community support is because there initially was a 2-door SE-R put out by Nissan in 1991-1994.

The 2-door wins.

However, when done right I'll agree that sedan B13's look pretty good. Like Re-Spect's car. I love his sedan. I guess it all depends on what direction you want to go in.

If we were talking about anything but a Front engine, front wheel drive car (FF) I could agree with you.

For an FF chassis, a four door has better weight distribution since you want as much weight in the rear as you can gain to negate the entire engine and drive train that is in the front and usually forward of the driving wheels.

I cannot argue that more weight is bad, it sure is. But if you can allocate weight to the rear, that is always going to help in a FF.
