are 4-door sedans more smoother then 2-door coupes when going over bumps and stuff?

I have a 2000 ex coupe civic with stick shift and i am going to store it this winter so i bought a 1995 toyota corrola today which is an automatic and the corrola drove smoother over bumps in the road.

i am sure it has nothing to do with the type of transmission in the car so what causes this?
thanks.

 

I know one thing it depends on is the wheelbase. The longer the wheelbase, the smoother the ride should be. (Note: wheelbase is only one of the factors)

 

You can't really compare a Civic and a Corolla, no matter what body style. There isn't really a difference between the Civic coupe and sedan though... maybe the sedan weighs a little more and changes the ride. I use to have a Civic sedan, although I don't remember it very well (I only had it for a couple months) but I don't remember a huge difference between it and my coupe other than the weight thing. But I think in your case the difference is caused by being two totaly different cars.

 

ya, your always going to notice a difference between any cars, its just the way the sespension is set up

 

Im going to bet the sedan rides better because of the expected passenger carry. After all it is a family car and on mine the suspension is fairly loose.
