MY88-94 + design, styling, easy tuning (APC) + feeling, handling, you can easy throw it around corners, + incredible (turbo) engine sound + no problems with roof mechanism + no rust, lasts forever + stable, little cowlshake + easy to solve smaller problems - loud, noisy engine on long highway runs - weak gearbox, drivetrain tends to shake up (CV jonts..) - slow with autotran. (even turbo) - heavy roof frames scrubbing through top fabriq (last ~ 8 years max) MY94-9.3 + newer car + nicer engines (equ. rods) (avoid GM V6!) + ACC climate automatic + lots of understeering + sidebags, active headrests on 9-3 - luggage compartment is smaller! - stupid, sticking roof mechanism - more reasonable cowlshake - where¥s the design gone? - powersteering feels ... (different!) - heavy roof frames STILL scrubbing through top fabriq!
