Hard choice.pros and cons of lifted trucks vs. a coupe or sports sedan?

Hey guys,im in a pickel right now because it is time for me to get a new (used) car in the near future. I will buy used, btu i am stuck in between a coupe (such as a v8 mustang) or a sports sedan (charger srt-8) and a lifted truck (ram 1500, chevy 1500 lifted)could you guys tell me the pros and cons of eachinsurance, costs, etci need help because i love both kinds nad i can only get one.so which would it be for you.

Answer:

What I want to know is why my personal preference would have ANY bearing whatsoever on what your preference is. Seriously. You're an adult. Make your own decisions without outside influence. That's your freedom of choice, right?
I suppose when you say coupe, you mean two-door vehicle. Because there are 4-door coupes (no B pillar). Check out the 4 door Mercedes coupe. There are probably 2 door sedans, just like there are 2 door SUV's. As mentioned by many, the inconvenience of a 2 door vehicle, except a convertible, doesn't over ride the sportiness for most, for very long.
I wouldn't really recommend a lifted pickup unless you actually need the ground clearance. They get worse mileage because of increased wind resistance and the lower gearing caused by the larger tires, and tend to wear u-joints and other suspension parts quicker causing higher maintenance cost. You could easily drop your mileage to around 10mpg with a large lift making it very expensive as a daily driver. I have one and love it, but frequently use it off road, in snow or mud or in other situations where the lift is helpful. I personally of the three would buy the Mustang since it is probably a much better car than the Dodge, but if you need more room the Charger is more of a sedan.
wow.that is badcheck with your doctor.you do need help.
