    Overall they have more usable room than a GP unless you weigh 500lbs.

    The Sonata is better at this (They're damn near the same car)

    I'm 6ft myself and found driving a Sonata pretty darn comfortable.

    Reason is cuz of people around say 4 doors are not that fast and i want to get a 4 door and show them that 4 door cars can be faster than two doors. Other reasons is the space is great to have and family cant really fit in a 2 door.

    4 doors rule, i had a few when i was younger as well. its nice to not have to get out of the car to let people in or out of the car.

    and for these cars i cant see a difference between 4 or 2 door, speed wise.

    hell regals are all 4 door's for the W's anyways.

    the only problem with my 4 door car is people slamming the doors shut, i tell them not to and they do anyways, like its a 200 lb door or something. when in reality they are super light and shut nice and smooth with just letting it close from 2 inches away from the frame.

    Lol ya same thing here they slam the dang door and open it al hard and end up digging the side of the door.

    The Grand Prix may have fallen behind in terms of performance, but at least it's still one of the best looking cars on the road (the last two generations of it at least). I don't see many cars that I think look better.
