What To Put In Mind When Buying A Coupe?

When stance, style, and performance prioritize rear-seat legroom or trunk space, shop coupes instead of dime-a-dozen SUVs and sedans. Coupes, generally two-door vehicles, are often based on a larger sedan model within the same vehicle line. Some cars have hatchbacks yet are still classified as coupes due to having only two doors. This article will help you with some factors when buying your first coupe car.

1. Available as Economy or Luxury Models.

When most think of two-door vehicles, smaller compacts often come to mind. While there are a number of coupes, like the Honda Civic, that start at around $18,000 or more, many others have significantly higher price tags. For example, a 2016 Audi R8 starts at $162,900 - before you start adding on optional extras.

2. Power versus Fuel Economy.

Suppose you are looking for power in a coupe. In that case, only the premium and luxury models will satisfy you, such as the Audi TT, the Cadillac ATS-V, the BMW M4 with 425 horsepower, and the Audi RS5. Check out the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R with 526 hp for something really aggressive.

Who says power says gobbling fuel like it's running out of fashion, so if you are environmentally minded, you will have far fewer options outside of BMW's i8 hybrid car.

3. Engine Size.

When many buyers think of a coupe, they often jump to the four-cylinder options, especially considering lower-end models or hatchbacks. However, today, coupes are available with six- and eight-cylinder engines, providing plenty of power in a smaller body style. When owning a coupe, the options are as varied as other vehicle models, ensuring the right combination of size and power to meet your driving style and performance needs.

4. Technology and Safety.

Whether you have set your sights on a low-cost coupe or a hypercar, there are all sorts of weird and wonderful technology on offer.

The Honda Civic, for example, comes with LaneWatch, a side-mirror camera that projects what it sees onto your infotainment screen. It can be distracting at first, but once you have gotten used to it, it is a very helpful system. If you want something cooler, the Audi TT's virtual cockpit has integrated the infotainment system onto the instrument panel and virtual gauges.

As far as safety is concerned, the offer is a bit hit-and-miss. You can find adaptive cruise control, traffic jams, parking assistance, and more.

5. Fuel Economy.

The ever-fluctuating gas prices that plague us today have many focusing on the overall fuel economy offered by a particular vehicle. Generally, coupes provide higher fuel economy than their larger counterparts, with some providing 30 mpg or better. Even those with larger engines offer improved fuel economy compared to what was provided by similar engines in the past. A coupe's aerodynamic shape adds to this.
