Steering is a lot heavier on the coupe. Also there's a big difference performance wise between the 1.6 and 1.8. My mothers 1.6 sxi feels flat compared to my 1.8 coupe.

i have a 1.8 sri hatch. to start, a simple mod to do is buy a vectra c intake and a decent panel filter. you'll notice abit better throttle response and smoother acceleration for not much mney.
